Five Things Friday - Part 5

I got to Skype with my sis and little Cohen last weekend, but this weekend I'm excited because I get to see them in person!  I'm visiting to watch my other nephew's first T-ball game.  I can only imagine how adorable all of those kiddos are going to look out there on the field.

I've had this bouquet sitting on my desktop for quite some time and have neglected to share it with you guys.  Now that spring is almost in full bloom, I think it's appropriate.  The colors are so cheerful, and the pom pom ribbon tied around the stem is so fun and unexpected.

I want to have an area like this in our next house.  I think it's a much more efficient use of the space right off the kitchen, don't you?  I'd rather dine all of the time in my formal dining room anyway :)

This lace cardigan is my latest purchase.  I think it will work great for this spring/summer weather, and I looove the pattern and texture.  I ordered it from Forever 21 online.  I hope it's just as great in person as it is on the screen!

I'll close with this St. Patty's drink for those of you throwing a bash.  It's called the Sparkling Shamrock Champagne Cocktail, and it's made with a mix of champagne and melon liqueur and topped with a honeydew shamrock garnish.  So cute!  For the full recipe go here.
