Bodacious Ladyhood Sleep-Over

I had a few dear friends over on the long weekend earlier this month. I call my pals "The Bodacious Ladyhood" - and I always wish to have more time to entertain in an elaborate way. You know how you see these lovely photos of beautiful settings in magazines - well I want to pull-off cool settings like that but it takes a lot of time to coordinate such ensembles. I did have Cynthia help me set up & decorate : )
Look at the center photo - after having dessert & champagne under my 300 year old oak named "Bella", Cyndi & I decided to swing like little kids... weeeeeee.... then my swing broke! It was so funny we all laughed 'til our sides hurt!!!



It was an awesome time with friends that are closer than sisters! We read poetry, crafted, swam, stayed up late pouring out our hearts to one another.... a splendificant time had by all :)
