We heart Summertime.
Monday, July 19, 2010 We are big fans of summer and we were all too ready to celebrate it on Saturday night in Casa Artelexia's backyard. The space is such a blank canvas that we went to town decking it out with our favorite summer things-- yellow, orange & white lights (deconstructed from three different types of string lights to make our own sunshine-y version), farmer's market vegetables and flowers, striped fabrics, umbrellas, potted plants and hay! Yes, hay. We love the rustic look of it and the casual seating it provides. Awesome (but messy).
The night was full of good friends, great summer bites provided by MIHO Gastrotruck, beer tastings provided by Casa Artelexia, yummy popsicles by Viva Pops, and clips from all our favorite summer movies to the soundtrack of my cute hubby's tunes. What could be better than sitting on a hay bale taking in some flicks & yummy food under a canopy of lights and palm trees? Not much, I tell you. This team knows how to celebrate summer which is why we heart our friends so much!
And as an added bonus we had a special visitor, Joy from Oh Joy!. Head on over to her blog and check our her take on the night!
XO,

oh there I am on a hay bale stuffing my face with those insanely amazing fries! Oh and there I am in front of the MIHO truck. Yeah, pretty sure I did not stop eating all night!
I just discovered your blog and absolutely love it. I just returned back from a 2 week vacation in Sonoma in which we visited farmers markets, had lots of picnics, and ate wonderful food. Also, we recently planted a raised bed garden. All of that to say that I am in a very 'summery, fresh food' mood, and I'm really inspired by this post!
