{two lovely things: luxurious textures}

. . . whether tiered & romantically lacy cupcake stands or a warm & welcoming pile of mohair blankets, there is nothing quite like the quiet luxury of beautiful textures to warm up an early autumn morning . . .

{p.s.} recent two lovely things:
* black & white
* mirror, mirror
* bits of green

{hello + happy monday}

. . . hello! . . . monday, monday and sincerest apologies for the long absence, both here and on twitter -- delightfully surprised by unexpected guests from out of town on friday, and after the afternoons around and about and the late dinner reservations, dancing in heels and conversations long into the night, quaint british pubs and brunches of eggs benedict and bellinis, spent an unintentional and very rare few days nearly completely offline . . . and lovely to be back again to what has been missed while away and while still much to get caught up on, also many wonderful things to share this week . . .

hope you are well & wishing you a perfect start to the week,
xo

{p.s.} more feathers

{castles in the air}

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.”

– Henry David Thoreau

. . . beautifully ornate mirrors and pretty heels, antique fireplaces and lace-trimmed linens, quilted coverlets and a few quite moments on a misty tuesday afternoon . . .

{beautiful reflections}

. . . have fallen in love with the notion of using picture rails to display a collection of mirrors, perfectly placed next to a window to capture glimmering bits of light . . .

{spring blossoms, indoors & out}

. . . 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 . . .
