Bachelorette Weekend

As I shared on Friday, this past weekend was spent with lovely ladies as we celebrated my last few weeks as a bachelorette! We headed "down the shore" (yes, this is how Philadelphians describe their journey to the New Jersey coast).

Adam's aunt and uncle recently completed building a beautiful vacation home in Strathmere that has gorgeous views of both the ocean and bay. Here's a glimpse of their pretty neighbor's home (right across the street):

The beautiful blue bay and sky seemed to envelope the town.

We arrived on Friday evening to an elaborate spread of food courtesy of Adam's sister Allison (who, while a dedicated med student, managed to make a mean dinner and plan my wonderful bachelorette weekend). Friends and family from both coasts (California and Maine) made a point to come...it meant so very much to me!

Needless to say, there were no strippers or excessive drinking; instead, we spent Saturday antiquing around various spots on the Jersey Shore. Near Cape May, I found a set of linens that were monogrammed with my future initials ("AMH" if you're curious).

Naturally, I couldn't pass these up, especially during my bachelorette weekend!

I also found a navy Wedgwood vase/pot that would easily complement the color scheme in my bedroom. 

I had a wonderful time, and it was so special because it seemed everything (including the food and activities) was quintessentially "Ashley". 

I loved it all! 

Happy Monday, everyone.
