Weddings

I posted about Jen's firepit yesterday, but I have a question about friends and weddings. I am a bridesmaid for her upcoming wedding and I want to get her something special for their wedding gift.

Do you do homemade stuff or do you prefer to buy from the registry? I am thinking of making her a quilt. I have an idea of what I want to do and what colors, but I am not going to post here in case she is reading;) Instead, I will share some of my favorite patterns:)

So what did you do? Homemade or storebought?

Great balls of fire...

I was visiting my very best friend Jen on Friday and she has a fire pit at her house! I didn't get a picture of it, but I loved it! It was the perfect place to sit and relax with a drink at 11pm when the sun had gone down and the fire burned bright. We pulled over chairs and propped up our feet and toasted marshmellows for s'mores. Soooo yummy....

I started planning my very own firepit...I like how simple the second one is in the grass, but I love the setup and chairs of the first picture.
