martha would not be proud

Val made caramel apples which ended up sticking to just about everything. Even the mustard in the fridge...And they were just about impossible to get off the plate so we could eat them. Thom had to pry them off with a knife. But we prevailed! And they were quite tasty.

a little gross to me

but a big part of the reason why Thom drives 6 1/2 hours to Provincetown.

i forgot one

Thom and Jasper running around on the beach. The next day a woman we ran into remembered them from the beach. Impossible to forget.

late afternoon drinks

Jasper makes a friend

The Ptown Greenmarket

Pincushion flowers - so cool!

at the beach for sunset

p-town!

Dancing the afternoon away.
Thom being indecisive while ordering.
Yup they're adults.
We're in Provincetown this weekend getting our last bit of Summer on. And it's like 80 degrees so it's easy to pretend it's really June. Eeek! We're getting married in exactly 6 months!

I've seen this posted a couple of times - by DesignMilk and Design*Sponge.

And the chandelier is nice and all. But I really want one of the pup.

kinda makes me wish we had been there.

What I'd rather be doing than working...

The invitation tins with our fancy letterpress coasters.
And the chipotle flake salt inside the tins - perfect for the rim of a margarita glass!
The invitations all tied up and ready to go. The dining room was wedding central for a few days. A few of the invitations got an orange ribbon just to mix it up!

The invitations had little tags courtesy of MooCards with the wedding details and website URL printed on them. There is a variety of images - all photos we took during our San Miguel trip!

Val and Tony came over with some yummy spinach pies (and some non-vegetarian items) that everyone enjoyed. Jackie brought her new man, Matt - who hit it off with Thom immediately. Hannah, Tung and Kalisha rounded out the group.

We had a great time hanging out in the backyard with a not-quite-necessary fire. And we're looking forward to many fires out there in the coming weeks. (Thom took that last photo being sneaky on the deck.)

We got up early Saturday morning to run errands and prepare for our little dinner party. I made use of our basil bush for some fresh pesto (which became white bean pesto bruschetta) and made the mushroom lasagna that lures Jackie to Brooklyn every time.

Thom sliced all those mushrooms himself.

Today we visited the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the Chile Pepper Fiesta. Perhaps not the most sane move after a night of drinking. But it was one of those special New York days with crisp, clean air and the Botanic Garden was the perfect place to be.

While there we picked up a "Christmas Chile" pepper plant of our own. We'll see how it does in our house.
