ST. LOUIS – Summer will go out with bang this year in St. Louis, thanks to 92.3 WIL!

The radio station’s “The Cornbread Morning Show” wants you to join them at “Cornbread’s Worlds Fair” End of Summer Blast, taking place August 26-29, 2010 at the Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri.

“Cornbread’s Worlds Fair” End of Summer Blast is open to the public. This 92.3 WIL event is presented by Vinson Mortgage, Clarkson Eyecare and Weber Chevrolet, and will feature live music, food, rides and various types of entertainment suitable for a family-friendly audience – everyone from young children all the way to those St. Louisans who are “young at heart”.

“Cornbread’s Worlds Fair” End of Summer Blast will be open for four days, so everyone will have the chance to have fun! The festivities take place beginning Thursday, August 26 and will run through Sunday, August 29, 2010 with varying hours of operation:

We love beautiful weddings and Whitney and Jesse created a stunning one!  For more photos from this gorgeous day, please visit www.laceimages.com

Summer is winding down and it’s time for the kids to head back to school.  No doubt, there will be class coffee’s, PTO meetings, volunteer orientations, and so much more.  So when you need to bring a little something to snack on or you are getting together with friends for coffee, do something a bit different than bagels, donuts, or cookies.  Try making these delicious scones which are delicious and super easy!

Just in case you didn’t hear the wonderful news, Colleen, owner of Colleen’s cookies has recently opened  a beautiful new store at 7337 Forsyth Blvd.  A great location for an incredible cookie master!!!  Please visit their web site at www.colleenscookies.com for more information.

Here’s an easy dessert you’ll love for anytime of the year, although I have to admit, it’s perfect for summer.  Our recipe for this Sweet Citrus Ice is similar to Italian ice, although I think the addition of orange juice really makes a delicious pairing.                  Click Here For the Recipe.

Well, if it’s just one of those nights when you feel like ordering pizza, opening up  a bottle of wine, and spending a quite and relaxing evening in front of the TV, I highly recommend you put this movie in your Netflix queue.  It’s called the September Issue and is a documentary about Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine.  If you are interested in fashion, magazine publishing, design, styling, or practically any area of the visual design world, you may really enjoy this movie.  If you have ever seen “The Devil Wears Prada”, the “Devil” character (played by Meryl Streep) was inspired by Anna Wintour.

Thanks to my friend Lisa for recommending this movie to me.  I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Perfect for a summer party! Preparation can’t be easier. Presentation is super easy. Guests will enjoy a delicious cold cherry dipped in yogurt.

• 1 Bag of Cherries
• 1 cup yogurt (any flavor)
• 1 cup blueberries

Wash the cherries. Arrange on wax paper and put into the freezer for two hours.

Put the yogurt in a container and surround with frozen cherries. Place at room temperature and wait about 10-15 minutes. The cherries should begin turning completely white. Once they are, you can serve them to your guests. They should be “frosty” for up to 1/2 an hour. Sprinkle blueberries around the cherries for a color contrast. The guests can pick up the cherries by the stem, dip them in the yogurt, and enjoy a nice frosty (and healthy) treat!

Leave it to the ladies at Lace Photography to photograph something absolutely spectacular!  Christina & David got married on Saturday at the Coronado.  It was coordinated by Barb Davis of B. Davis and Co. Everything from the bride’s unique purse to the flowers and so much more was designed by Barb.   Photographed by Gina & Lori of Lace Photography
