Cheers to the Kopczyks!
by Meredith
This weekend my best friend Sarah Glover becomes Ms. Kopczyk. We are kicking off Labor Day weekend by cruising Lake Minnetonka: being fabulous, sipping spirits and checking out the bay side bars in honor of her bachlorette party. Tomorrow is the rehearsal, and Saturday is the wedding! I am so happy I get to celebrate this exciting time in her life along side her. It's going to be a wonderful weekend in every way. Cheers to them - and wishing them a lifetime of love, happiness, success and good health. Love you both.

MOH Toast
by Meredith
This weekend I'm the Maid of Honor in my best friend Sarah's wedding. I'm so honored and happy to be part of her big day. I've been feeling quite prepared with all of the duties, until I realized I had to write a toast to read at the reception.
I'm not really afraid to speak in front of people. I've spent a lot of my life on a stage: piano recitals, dance recitals, band concerts and speaking at my high school graduation to name some. However, this seems different. It's not about me. It's about them. Plus, it needs to relate to the crowd, be meaningful, maybe a little funny and be short. It seems like a really tough puzzle.
A lot of websites offer great tips and I've watched a number of YouTube video examples. However, I don't want to copy exactly what someone else did. So, I've resorted to creating a draft and adding to it over the past couple of weeks.
For those of you who have created toasts or stood up at someone's wedding, what are your suggestions? Any are appreciated.

New Sandals
by Meredith
Even though I hate to see summer come to a close, I love that sandals are on sale this time of year! I'm a sucker for BOGOs. I was at Famous Footwear last week looking for wedding shoes I'll wear Labor Day weekend and of course found something else. These are the new Carlos sandals I found. I love them and had to share! Have a great weekend!

Great Grandma's Lamps
by Meredith
My Aunt recently gave me pair of lamps that belonged to my Great Grandma Svac (My father's mother's mother). I was thrilled. My Grandparents moved from Czechoslovakia to the United States in the 1950's, arriving Ellis Island. They didn't have a lot, but what they did have they took excellent care of - as you can see below. She purchased these lamps in the 1950's and housed them in various places in her home until she passed. The lampshades have deteriorated over time, but they are still beautiful.
