. . . dashing out the door -- sexy tousled hair, a light linen summer dress, suede heels and coral lips -- but first, a quick hello and two new & lovely things:
. . . deep into summer and it's as many wonderfully languorous hours en plein air as possible, an afternoon spent dreaming away or lost in the pages of a beautiful book and breathing the scent of a million blossoms, or idyllically swinging from the boughs of a perfect tree, or best of all, lilting conversations over an early evening dinner under the cover of the most charming canopy in a shade lost somewhere between lilac and lavender . . .
. . . the stems of lilies and fluttery dresses, new leaves and the glass of champagne bottles -- whether sage, seafoam, lakeshore or chartreuse -- mornings have been filled with the celebration of spring green . . . 
. . . have always adored bringing the outdoors in, especially in the forms of enormously intoxicating bouquets of flowering branches, and on this drizzly mid-march day, happy in the thought of soon bringing the indoors out . . .
"often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts"
hello! . . . a beautiful flutter of things always and especially lately, evident by last week's rather sporadic posts, but after a happily relaxing weekend away filled with softly sun-drenched mornings and melted, dreamy afternoons, welcoming the arrival of a new week and a new month with pure delight and many wonderfully exciting things to look forward to, alongside spring leaves and bright skies and can not wait to share them with you . . .
. . . a beautifully bright morning and the past luminous, sunlit days and promises of more this coming weekend are reminders that soon, there will be afternoon adventures and seaside dreams, blossoming branches and petal-laden breezes . . .
