I am planning a very low key Thanksgiving this year. But I realized I needed a new Roasting Pan! Now!

Just got back from the Williams-Sonoma Outlet on Long Island, NY... and got 40% off this beauty!

(Wonder if my Turkey will look this fancy...????)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

sucker for color

I'm a sucker for color and inspiration boards... this one made me realize... it might be time for another contest!!!???

It's been far too long.

Rules and Regs to follow... plus I am LOVING these rooms!!!!!

(colorful rooms)

ya mon!

Did I mention turning 40 wasn't so awful?
Jamaica was beautiful and hot.
The water was warm and my hubby was so sweet.

The kids enjoyed themselves...

A bittersweet trip all the same.
I'll go into that another time.

For now, I still enjoy the inspiration board Birthday Girl designed for me.

My 3 year old son can't stop saying "Ya Mon!"

Warm wishes to you all as this Noreaster hits Long Island!!!!

it's a great pumpkin

who couldn't use some fresh ideas for this upcoming holiday?!

Email me (Kelley@myislandwedding.com) a photo of YOUR jack-o-lantern and I will include it in a post with a link back to you! MY favorite will be interviewed here with an additional link!!! Must be YOURS though..., ok???

BOO!!!



(still one of my all time favorites... via)

vampires amongst us

(via StephenieMeyer.com)

I'm hooked.

Not only do I love this series of "Vampire" books, but I have asked my hubby to be one for Halloween! (The good old fashioned Transylvania one though!!!)

We are going to a wedding on October 31st. Will definately post some photos afterwards! (I'm going as his most recent "wife.")

love simply happens

this bride is just taking my breath away.
very simply.

2 questions

(via)

I just have two questions...

1. Is it seriously October 20th? Am I really getting catalogs talking about Christmas? Has it always been like this?

2. Is it ok to "cheat" on your husband with a fictional character in a book?

Anyone else read "Twilight?"

date night

I'm taking my hubby out for a "date night" tomorrow...

We are going to dinner and the new Quentin Tarantino movie with Brad Pitt. (Quentin for him, Brad for me...)

Happy Anniversary baby!
Eight years?
It just flew by...

Love,
Kelley

THE Mother of the Bride MENTALITY

A while back I posed a question to my readers: What About You?

I wanted to know what some of YOUR favorite things were.

Check out My Island Wedding's FIRST response to that question. (more to follow in the next few days.)

The MOB is a such a fun blog..., check out the rest of her great tips and advice.



I must admit... some of her answers made me a bit weepy. I would LOVE to meet this "MOB" in person!!!

(here are a few of MY favorites posted a while back...)

kelley's livingroom

(via Brooklyn Limestone)

I keep meaning to post this follow up to my earlier article regarding Brooklyn Limestone. Remember she offers advice if you are in a "Project Pickle" or "Design Dilemma."

Her advice and interest regarding my project was/is absolutely fantastic!!!!
And I just love the way she transposed her ideas onto my photos!!!

Check her out! (Plus her own home is out of this world...)
