father's day madras-themed party

i have always wanted to throw our little boy a preppy madras-themed party but alas, he has other plans. for this father's day, the masculine plaid colors of this classic theme will be perfect for a father's day BBQ or afternoon gathering. a simple madras runner can set the tone for the casual tablesetting. hurricane lamps, pillows and bean bag cushions with the same fabric will be the perfect party decor accents. how adorable it would be to have your guests come in their favorite madras attire too? so fun!

what have you planned for father's day weekend?

summer sandwich recipes

it's quite refreshing and not to mention healthy to indulge in light sandwiches in the summer. i think it's a perfect treat for lunch al fresco or at a picnic. i feel that there are more creative and unique ways to serve them. more recipes have become more daring and far from your traditional BLTs or PBJs. 

here are a few sandwich recipes i found and sharing here. photo sources and recipes are on the links. ENJOY!
