Poppies and a Picnic: Father’s Day Weekend






I couldn’t think of a better way to kick off Father’s Day weekend than with this lovely Summery poppy editorial from Ditte Isager. A picnic on the ocean with Dad is a splendid idea, don’t you think?  Maybe serenading him with his favourite song while strumming a guitar…? What are your plans for this Father’s Day weekend my friends? XX

    GOOD MORNING GORGEOUS! THank you for reminding me that this is Father's Day weekend; I totally forget....maybe because I lost my mom on that day and it just kind fizzled away from memory...but YESTERDAY WAS MY last workshop and NOW I AM FREE! I am loving just puttering about the house and plotting my next decorating move or creative endeavor! I think I will try to muster up my blog post around my dad...

    HAPPY DAY dear friend! Anita

    Poppies are such pretty pops of color - at home or on the beach! One of my favorite flowers... Wishing your hubby a wonderful Father's Day and you, a great weekend.

    OOH, love the beach party scene. wouldn't that be fun? We're headed to Sister's for a cookout for our precious Daddy. He's fighting cancer right now, and we're just sick about it. Our family loves to get together. Hope yours is a wonderful day. Mona

    That first red poppy dress is one of the loveliest I've seen! Both my husband and I's fathers live in different states so we just enjoyed pleasant phone calls with them. Oh well :)

    ooh! stunning! poppies are one of my faves. i especially love red poppies even though most of them are orange here. we went to monterey for father's day. a little change of plans, but it was wonderful. with some aquarium time and everything. rowan has been being such a wonderful little outing goer!!! hope you and your growing munchkin are doing great!!

    Using the poppy as a summer motif is a fab idea. Specially the picnic on the beach

    The beach picnic looks fantastic - although right now in Oz it would be a little brisk - doesn't stop me from loving the beach for long fabulous walks though.

    A very colourful and pretty post!
