Have a fabulous weekend!

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.

Good morning sunlight, good morning green...

July~
Welcome. You have been missed.

All is a big blur these last few weeks... lots of time in the car, back and forth to the beach, taking more photos than I will get to in a year. It is exactly how summer should be. I am home for a few days working on orders and doing the unpack and repack dance. In case you were wondering it is a little like the hokey pokey... you put your dirty clothes in, you get your clean clothes out...there is some shaking it involved, repeat, repeat, repeat.(I am getting pretty good at it.)
I have so much I am excited to share with you... but first I must give a thanks to those who have been so sweet to me lately with interviews and much kindness on their sites. I hope you will become regular readers. It doesn't get any better than these wonderful women!

Other things making my day are:
Susannah's writing... which I couldn't agree with more. I have never been one to be excited to get out of bed on Monday mornings until now.
These treats from Paris... maybe you shouldn't look. I will not be responsible for any addiction or weight gain. You have been warned. (If you must, order the Trocadero.)

I will remember....

1. seagulls in flight
2. everything is new
3.that one perfect wave right in the middle
4.bikes on the pier
5.the wind in her hair
6. messy, peel-apart polaroids
7.the sunny day that followed the stormy night.

When the rain finally stopped we headed straight for the strawberry fields.
And, the air was suddenly warm.
As were the berries.
Washed clean by the rain.

This is what made me leave today. Just the thought of it. You know...when the sunlight reflects so strongly off the water it hurts your eyes. But, you can't help but look at the sparkle. Maybe it won't be raining at the lake, those storms do blow right over sometimes...
Have a fun weekend! - A.

This week has not gone according to plan. So, instead of the exploring I had hoped for this week, I am home for a few days... unsure of what to do. I don't like feeling so indecisive. And, I don't like waiting when my bags are packed. Luckily, I found some lovely summer inspiration while waiting for the rain to pass. Enjoy!

2.The kindred photograph(shown above) is also in my shops!
3. A new month of Poppytalk Handmade starts today. I love all the seasonally themed goodness.
4. Our set of the day is so summery and light.
Cheers! -A.
