Happy 4th of July, Bon Weekend, Plus Couture Cocktails

Happy 4th of July, mes amis!  I hope you had a great week.  What are your plans for the weekend?  I hope you will be enjoying a long holiday weekend if you’re in the US, and a wonderful weekend every where else.  We began our 4th of July celebrations yesterday by spending the day in downtown St. Louis and Forest Park to kick off Fair St. Louis.  The weather has been delightful this week, perfect for long walks around the fountains and dining at one of our favourite establishments in the park.  I took a few photos to share on Instagram.

Salty Dog

INSTRUCTIONS:

Wishing you a lovely weekend!  I hope it’s beautiful where you are…
