Pumpkin Pie in a Jar

Last night was "Flamingo Ladies Book Club" night and the book was Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Not sure what the book was about 'cuz I didn't have a chance to read it! In our club, that's okay...we just socialize anyway. I think maybe we mentioned the name of the book and that was all that was said about it, but we had a very nice time...just a wee bit of gossiping and keeping up with what's going on in the neighborhood! I carried Pumpkin Pie in a Jar for the ladies...

If you haven't tried these, they are easy to prepare, delicious, and everyone loves the presentation. I used the Ball wide-mouth, half-pint jars. Then, I used pre-made pie crust to line the inside of the jars.

I then poured in the pumpkin pie mix {I used the recipe from the back of the the Libby canned pumpkin}.

I cut out round cardstock for the labels and added a pumpkin tag with a ribbon.

Not being sure what types of food would be served, I made little pouches for the serveware and attached more tags!

Rainy Night in Florida...Limeade Floater by Lilly Pulitzer

It was "Bring your own" so I carried my Merlot in my Redneck Wine Goblet!
Thank you for visiting with me today. Yesterday, I used my LAST CAN OF PUMPKIN. Today, I'm on the hunt for more!

A little bit Preppy...A little bit Redneck

What a fabulous weekend...Shop, Shop, Shop! Saturday I took a Daytrip to Mount Dora, Florida for the Spring Antiques Collectibles & Crafts Show... had LOADS of fun y'all. Mt. Dora is a quaint little town just northwest of Orlando. It's historic downtown is full of boutiques, gift shops, cafes, and antique shops. It's fun to visit Mt. Dora anytime...great day trip for Floridians or those visiting the Orlanda area! "HERE'S WHAT I WORE" I'm still in that tricky wardrobe transition time. Lord have mercy! I put such strict seasonal fashion rules on myself! {No sleeveless stuff, no open-toed shoes, no white, no patent leather!} I tried to wear something Spring-y and comfortable...something Preppy, of course! These coveralls in the 'Fried Catfish' pattern by Lilly are the newest addition to my Lilly coverall collection.

Love the 'Fried Catfish' pattern... I wore my {closed-toe} pink mules by Lilly and a cute monogrammed cap by 2PreppyGirls. My ponytail was adorned with my Lilly-fied scrunchie:) My iPhone cover was lime green and I wore my 'Desert Tort' watch by Lilly. I wore my pearl stud earrings by Ralph Lauren and my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My fragrance of choice for the day...'Wink' by Lilly. My shopping tote is from the $1 bin at Target...monogrammed, of course!

Ready to go with my shopping list of must-finds, I drove thru Dunkin Doughnuts for an early-morning energy boost!

A little bit redneck...yes, I guess I am y'all! How cute is this Redneck Wine Goblet. Linda Jarrett offers these on her Etsy site, Sassy Stemware. You can get them plain or with dots {use your fav team colors}, or she will paint on your monogram for you! LOVE these! I got so many fun comments about mine in Mount Dora! What a perfect gift for the Southern girl who likes to party!

Too early for "Merlot Hour"...I'm sippin' homemade lemondade I bought from some cute young Georgia boys!!! Enjoyed a great lunch at my fav restaurant, The Goblin Market...a must-do place to dine in Mt. Dora.

After two days of non-stop shopping, I arrived back home and just threw my loot on the bed and hit the sofa for a night of marathon Lifetime Movie Network Movies!

Can't wait for the Mt. Dora Fall 2011 show! On the way home, I was mentally planning my next trip...hmmm.

Thank y'all for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week!
