Savoring Summer

So, while the Brooklyn Craft Party put on by Etsy has received a surprising number of complaints on the listserve, I thought that it was such a fun event! Still insanely jetlagged from returning from our trip Thursday, it took a lot of motivation to get there for the brief time that we stayed, but I thought it was well-run and such a great concept! Crafters spread out under a tent facing the water in the beautifully renovated Brooklyn Bridge Park, music from various bands played, and the food trucks provided delicious sustenance to keep that crafting going! M. and I were obsessed with the photo booth. The location was also perfect. We were able to take a beautiful sunset ferry ride there.

On Saturday, we hopped on the early morning train to Connecticut, where, after a lovely lunch, some photo sharing, and catching up, I spent the afternoon at the winery with my mom and sisters taking in the beautiful view and sampling some wines. From there, we headed to M's parents house where we enjoyed s'mores, chilled rose, a dip in the pool, and a walk with the dogs around Harkness Memorial State Park. It was a perfect and relaxing weekend after our travels.

Hope everyone had lovely weekends and savored those precious last moments of summer...
