I want one so bad I can almost taste the sandwiches!
This is the time of year I start to long for the long summer days.
I want to get together with friends and have
I want to get together with friends and have a good old party,
country style!
I want to decorate, decorate, and decorate some more.
I want to have tables filled with home cooked food and forget the diet.
I want to break out all my vintage dishes.
How easy would these be to make?
Scrap booking paper comes in so many beautiful colors
and patterns now, you could do anything!
I want to serve drinks from old buckets and pails.
Have fresh flowers on each table.
Give a little gift to all of my guests;
a cd filled with my favorite country tunes.
I want to pick flowers from my gardens

and put them in mason jars....
....and eat and talk until the sun goes down.
If I only had a big old rustic barn.
We could dance.........

or I could sit and watch you dance,
because I have two left feet.
Doesn't that sound like fun?

I made my favorite Christmas music on a mixed cd but this looks adorable with the bandana cover and I love the popcorn cones! Do you buy the paper or copy your own? Girl - you are quite the part momma and friend!!! Jennifer jennsthreegraces
Jennifer, you can buy the scrap booking paper and just fold it into a cone, use double stick tape to hold shut! It would also be cute with a little twine around it and maybe a name tag? Or a little yee-haw! Melaine
Sounds heavenly! Cookouts and parties are one of my favorite things about summer!
it's all so "Sweet Home Alabama" I love it! Makes me want to go buy an apron!
sounds like a plan!!!

I love this, I hope I can be invited! Girl, you have a southern heart and I think you need to just pack up the family and move on down here! =) Hope you have a great day! ~andrea
Count me in~ I even have the right boots to wear! Love this idea and yes, a barn or even a guest house/shed disguised as a barn would make me VERY happy!
Great post.

It's party time !!!
Your welcome........hugs from Ria
Oh wow! I want to come to this wonderful party! These pictures are all so pretty! Hope your having a wonderful Wednesday! xoxo
Girlie...I just started a post about this same thing! I have it saved in my drafts for later!!! We could do some serious partying if only we lived close! You have the same exact tastes as me! I am planning a big outdoor party later in the summer...hopefully it will be to celebrate my hubby winning his campaign for SHERIFF! I have so many ideas!!! Hope you are having a most fabulous Wednesday!!!
Great post. I spent a summer with family friends in MA when I was a teen and they families were doing parties like this every weekend. They would take turns hosting and it was just fabulous, I'll never forget it. Wouldn't it be great to have a wedding like this?
Love all the beautiful pictures and great ideas! Cookouts, spring time, friends and finally nice weather for fun! Your post makes me smile!!
That sounds so wonderful :) The cones made from scrapbooking paper are such a cute idea! My favorite photo would have to be the one with the drinks served in old tubs...perfection!

Nothing beats getting down on the farm. The Sunflowers here are the perfect companion to the modern country feel of the parties. Enjoying the new blog find!
Thanks for taking me to the barn party - even if only for a few stolen moments! :)
Oh Melanie! I would not want to miss this fabulous party!!! Wow, it would be a hoe down, bit time!
