Summer Backyard Memories Collection - Sneak Peek

Time is a luxury of which we always wish we had more. But with so many family vacation plans cancelled this year, we’ve all suddenly been handed a little more time. Time to enjoy casual, al fresco dinners on the patio with family and a few, close friends. Time to swing in the hammock on a warm summer day. Time to play backyard games. Time to learn some new ones. All those sweet, relaxed, slow-moving, summer enjoyments and this quote from restaurateur, Alisa Barry, “Make the simple things beautiful,” were the inspiration behind the summer Backyard Memories Collection. It’s launching Wednesday, June 10th at 10:00 a.m. (EST), and here’s a sneak peek at just a few of the items coming to the shop!

Shown here are: the Pizza Peel, the Horseshoe Set and Instruction Book, Popsicle Mold and Summer Popsicle Sticks, and the Classic White Platter.

Our family has already enjoyed several, sunset meals on the deck. And I can’t wait to live on the deck this summer! We bought new dining chairs for our outside table. Last week, I filled all the deck pots with plants for the season, including one planted with lettuces and one planted with herbs, because I love being able to just step out of the kitchen and pick them at the last minute for dinner — summer freshness at its best!

If you’re looking for al fresco dinner inspiration, I’ve got something exciting planned! Every week this summer, I will be sending a Summer Dinners email with: a homemade pizza recipe, a simple, one-platter dinner recipe (THE best!), a popsicle recipe, dinner conversation starters, and an occasional summer playlist. It will give you fresh ideas for summer menus and help you create memorable meals and lasting summer memories! Make sure you’re signed up on the email list!

The summer Backyard Memories Collection is launching Wednesday, June 10th at 10:00 a.m. (EST). Together, let’s “make the simple things beautiful” this summer!
