a perfect pastime.

Though I can't really believe it, {cv} and I celebrate three years in our apartment complex this month. Sadly, we just discovered this hidden yet magical courtyard--complete with grills! We both grew up loving backyard barbeques, so this find was quite a revelation :) Sure, we may have to cart all the food and tools down the elevator, but our recent grilling exploits have us even more excited to get in our own house. With that in mind, this little round-up has me dreaming of future BBQ feasts...


The best part? Most of these items are on sale at Sur La Table! I wish I could snatch them up, but our apartment is already full to the brim. I'll just cross my fingers they'll have more next year! 

I'll see you all tomorrow for the {color}block party :) Until then...

  4. That's so exciting! I LOVE those tumblers. They keep your drink so cold and they don't sweat - and the nautical touch makes it even better :)

  15. It's been so hot & humid here the past couple of days that a fan has been a necessary addition to our evenings on the deck. And music. Music is always a must. ;)

  17. I love a good summer BBQ! I like changing up the food. Instead of basic hamburgers and hot dogs, I like having tacos and other foods that are less traditional BBQ foods.
