Here in the Northeast, summer is at it’s mid way mark. And, let me tell you….we are savoring it. Winter takes up more than its fair share on our calendar, so when it finally warms up, everyone in town heads to the beach.
Mid summer here also means CLAMBAKE! A true midsummer night’s dream!!
The canoe is iced down (not sure who thought of that originally, but I think it was brilliant!), drinks and appetizers are on the beach, so you kick off your shoes shortly after arriving.
After a delectable dinner, the music gets louder and before you know it….we’re all dancing.
That’s how we roll up here….what’s happening this weekend in your part of the world?!
ps: my heart goes out to all those in my home state of Texas, which is hotter and drier than it has been in over a century.
Mmm that sure looks tasty 🙂
Oh my word! HOW BREATHTAKING!!!!!!! Where in heavens is this gorgeous place? What a fabulous looking party……soooooo up my alley! Just beautiful, picture perfect and truly magazine worthy!!
What a beautiful beach scene any time of day! And I'll have to remember that canoe trick on the Cape – do you think a kayak would work?
xxoo
Enchanted…it's one of 5 beautiful beach clubs in my town! 🙂
Buzz – would definitely work with a kayak. Fun trick, right?!
A dream for sure! Love all the little details, right down to the blue canoe. You all certainly know how to party! Glad you are enjoying every little bit at summer. We're doing the same out West!
Have a wonderful weekend, Elizabeth.
Love the canoe iced up! Brilliant! What a gorgeous scene – enjoy!
This is gorgeous! It reminds me of summers on the Cape- wish I was there with you!
Oh wow … this is perfection!
We have to admit that we are a little envious right now. The heat in South Louisiana has drained us this week. This party looks like a fabulous time!
We believe in making lemonade when life serves lemons. Guess we need to make magic right where we are. Going to work on that.

That is a mid-summer's night dream of a party! Have fun!

OK these pictures make me so excited! I long for a NE life. I was born and raised in Southern California, and while we have great weather year round, I'd love to have the traditions that you all do up there!
Ohhh, I died and woke up in heaven! Beautiful summer post!
FUN!! have a great weekend!
Seeing this post makes me jealous! It is so, so hot here in Texas. No rain = sad looking lawns! Too hot to even think about starting the grill outside
I am a new follower, I love your blog! These pics are dreamy! We have a short summer here as well (Canada) and I am savouring it! We are going to an air show this weekend. Taking my 3 girls for the first time. Excited!
Thanks for sharing these lovely photos. : )

Looks like a fabulous evening. Elizabeth – your pictures are just spectacular – really!! Love the chic modern interiors with the traditional facade!!
Elizabeth, this post is divine! It makes me want to jump right into the photo! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Have a wonderful weekend, Beautiful! xo
Thank you! Everything about this post makes me happy! Best wishes for a great weekend for you!
Hi Elizabeth, I'm new to your blog and your pictures are lovely. I think the crostini with the Brie and preserves is a yummy looking appetizer I'll have to remember. California has some beautiful sites, but I have to admit, this looks pretty inviting!
Cheers,

The white slipcovers and the blue curtains blowing in the breeze are the epitome of the end of a cool summer day! I always try to think of inventive ways to present iced drinks but this canoe is truly inspiring! It is all beautifully done.
Good grief that looks like FUN, and the canoe is nothing short of brilliant!
I seriously thought I had died and gone to heaven. Two wonderful combo's, clams + Corona! I hope you & yours have a perfect weekend Elizabeth.
Cheers ~ Deb
Gorgeous house and I just love that canoe cooler!
Wow, I love these pictures!
I want to be there!
Loves,
