Krayl’s Week On Instagram – July 11th

Don’t you just love Instagram? I do but I also know there are many of you who may not check it daily or perhaps even have time to use the platform at all… So for those of you, I am committing to posting a weekend wrap up of my week on Instagram. As you will see below this week was filled with celebrating with friends, time in the garden, seasonal decorating and a few tasty cocktails.  What was your favorite part of this week?

I LOVE to change things up around my house for each season and summer always offers the boldest combinations of color + pattern. ☀️ This month I am mixing these black cabana stripped pillows with a yellow pop of summer color on my bed! 🍾 Both pillow covers are curated items from my #seasonalhomebox ! The yellow was part of the spring collection and the cabana pattern from the summer collection. 🇺🇸

How are you switching things up around your home?

Hostess trick that doubles as decor for your summer beverage station is a big tub filled with ice and colorful seltzer water bottles. 🇺🇸

You can find a variety of brands and flavors in most markets these days. Look for bottles with colorful logos or images that will add a pop of color to the lower level of your summer beverage station. Fill your tub with ice and tuck your chilled bottles on top approximately one hour before your party begins.☀️

Catching up on my garden magazine reading {it’s always time to start a garden right….?} and found this PERFECT quote in the April Issue of Better Homes and Gardens.🌱

“Now more than ever, gardening is one of life’s great pleasures. Maybe that’s because you can’t check your phone when you’re wearing dirt-covered gloves.” 😃

I literally laughed out loud when I read this!! It’s the absolute truth! Mind you, three out of three of the other people I was with were checking there phones right at that minute!😉 
What’s your great pleasure??#celebrateeveryday #anappealingplan #gardeningisgoodforthesoul

Happy Long Weekend Saturday! We started this summer weekend with dinner with friends last night then wine on the patio in town.🍷

Today catching up on a bit of gardening before the rain moved in to bring us back indoors.🌱 I can handle a few hours of cleaning up the home office before packing up to head out to the beach to spend the 4th with friends dipping our toes in the water and grilling up a feast! 👙

Feeling grateful for nature, friends and life! Hope your Saturday is filled with lots of simple pleasures too!

An evening of cocktails and culture preview event in honor of the Horst Exhibit at the Dali Museum in St Pete. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon! 🍸

The bartenders and staff at FarmTable Kitchen {upstairs at Locale Market} consider cocktails an art form, so every seasonal cocktail list is inspired by the current exhibition at The Dali Museum in an effort to continue supporting the local arts community – how amazing is that?🎨

Cocktails include names like “Round The Clock”, “Bacchanale” and “Mainbocher Corset” are inspired by Horst’s photographs both in name and glass or garnish chosen to accompany each cocktail. Again… How amazing is that?😍

My personal favorite was Round The Clock. Which one will be yours?🍸

Stop in FarmTable Kitchen July 2 – September 6 to try them all before heading over to The Dali Museum and show your support of Tampa Bay’s local arts + food community!🍴 ::
