Flower Power

Aren't these dreamy? Beautiful styling, and such a lovely head piece.

Summer of Toast

I always love the Toast styling for any season. Their summer catalogue makes me wish desperately for some sand and sun. Any lovely plans for the weekend? I am going to tackle some sewing, and maybe a project or two that has been waiting on my list.

.

Have a good weekend! Thanks for all the well wishes-- I am actually feeling much better today, so lets hope it stays that way. Enjoy the summer weather!

Wonderful Zooey

.I am feeling the sickness curse today. All of a sudden, my throat was swollen and my nose has been stuffed like crazy. I thought colds were only supposed to come around in the winter. It should be a rule.... Anyway, I'll leave you a few of my favorite Zooey Deschanel pics. I have a whole folder of them, so I probably will share the rest periodically. I just love her!
.

Looking forward to a (hopefully) restful night

D.C. Part One

Hello friends! It is such lovely weather outside today! I am glad that we are finally in the clear from all of the rain we have been getting lately. I spent the afternoon outside eating lunch and looking at some of my old magazines while I listened to music. I love lazy afternoons.
.
I thought I would share some pictures from our D.C. trip:
.
This was in the historic part of Alexandria. We visited the docks first.
.

This is a shot of the historic streets. They are so cute!
.

This was inside of Paper Source. I wanted to take all of this gorgeous paper home with me! This was part of their new line of Japanese paper.

This is the black and white checkered floor in the vintage ice cream shop we stopped in. Nothing better to cool you off than Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.

.

Have a good Tuesday! More later...

Under the Big Top...

So cute. Dishware and circus themes go together in my book any day.

Looking to the Weekend...

Happy Friday! Been feeling lazy since I got back from D.C., so looking forward to getting some things done on the weekend. Hopefully I'll finish cleaning out my desk and start back to sewing and making patterns. Any exciting plans for anybody? My advice (hopefully some advice I can personally take) is to relax and enjoy the sunshine. And maybe find a necklace like this lovely ladies. Gorgeous!

.

See you on the other side of the week!

Dreamy

Sorry I have been out of commission of late... jumping back into life outside of vacation, that sort of thing. Don't worry, I will be more on the ball next week with good inspiration.

.

For now, feast your eyes on the gorgeous photos of model Angelina Lindvall and her boys in her Topanga Canyon home for British Vogue. Beautiful.

. ....

See you Friday!
