It continues to amaze me that we are getting rain almost every day in Ohio while the west experiences such a severe drought.  Saturday was one of our rare sunny days and we took advantage of it to work in our garden.

During yesterday’s rain I was able to spend some time gathering some Worthy Reads for today’s post.  The first is a new addition to this weekly feature.

1010 Park Place

I’m excited to share with you that I have been invited to be a feature writer for 1010 Park Place, by founder and CEO Brenda Coffee who I met in Nashville this past spring.  Her site is dedicated to women over 40.

My posts will appear under the VOICES section where she features a wide-range of 40+ Bloggers and I am honored to be one of them.  My first feature is on Scarves, the Chic Summer Accessory.

I also love her PLAYLIST feature where she asks some of the people she meets to curate their favorite songs. You can download them on iTunes, and make your own PLAYLIST.

Each week in her STYLE INSPIRATION section, she features smart, accomplished women who tell her what they aspire to and what motivates them. 

1010 Park Place is for women interested in fashion, beauty and shopping inspiration. Be sure to check out her whole site.  Every Monday I will share with you a link to my weekly post on 1010 Park Place.

52 Vintage Pictures of Our Favorite Icons Enjoying Summer

Elle Magazine shares a collection of vintage photos of some of our favorite celebrities enjoying summer.  They are such a reminder of how times have changed.

Recipe of the Week

These Rustic Cherry Tarts created by Mallory of Chocolate with Grace look amazing!  It’s cherry season and although I love eating a bowl of fresh cherries, these tarts would be the perfect dessert for a summer dinner party.

Room of the Week

I love everything about this outdoor living area featured at Better Homes & Gardens!  The covered patio helps keep you protected from the sun, the fireplace will help keep you warm on a cool evening and the furniture layout is ideal for great conversations with family and friends.  Click on the link and you will see 20+ other patios for design inspiration.

Stylebook App

This Stylebook App is one that you will want to check out if you travel a lot.  It has some great advice and also offers a way for you to store a picture of each outfit including accessories to make packing easier.

Thanks for stopping by.  Make it a great week!
