Fire pits and a belated blogiversary

Well folks, I somehow missed my second blogiversary. The shame! I wrote my very first post on June 10, 2010. Though I don’t post as diligently as I once did, I do still love my little sweeter salt, my internet baby.

I wore this for a casual night out last weekend. You might notice in the background our new fire pit (!!!). Ross made it out of some old bricks; it is just too much fun. We feel like we’re camping (with s’mores and all) without actually having to go to the middle of nowhere and sleep in a tent. My kind of outdoor adventure!

Army green skirt: American Apparel
Chambray shirt: Banana Republic
Straw belt: thrifted
Yellow bag: Melie Bianco (a shower gift from some of my bridesmaids!)
Gold sandals: L.L. Bean (via the first SWAPmaine)

If you have a backyard, do you have a fire pit? It would never have occurred to me to build one, but I’m so glad Ross did. Such fun.

About sweetersalt

Salt = sodium = bad. Sweet = calories = bad. Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No. This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things. But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet. Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking! I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond. It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.

  1. My husband’s cousin and his wife built us a fire pit that was waiting for us when we got home from our honeymoon;). SO nice to have and I’m completely with you on the S’mores! Congrats on 2 years!! -Erin

  2. isn’t it awesome?! we have an iron firepit (not as cool as your brick one, for sure!) i kind of love/hate camping, and having a nice yard fire is the best of both worlds!
