Un Bonjour - A Hello...

 

We were greeted with grey clouds and bits of icy hail pelting us throughout the day today. I'm dying for warm weather. So much so, that I had to talk my little miss into a summer-inspired photo session. We swept her hair back into a bandana and she looked like she was  ready for an afternoon of berry picking with a basket on a sunny hill:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a little of what has been inspiring me lately: lots of Cath Kidston 

 

 
 
 

and some vintage images for you too...

 

 

 
 

The dog days of summer

This big guy has turned out to be no different from the child that shares his living space. Both of them want to go out one minute, come back in the next. This one sees his friends the Irish Setter and the beagle and wants to go play. That one sees her friends, three little girls and an occasional outnumbered boy tagging along, and wants to go play. Five minutes later, this one is at the back door, finding it a little too hot outside for his liking while that one is at the front door to retrieve a toy, a book or a snack. It's slamming doors at the front end of the house and paws scratching on the back glass patio door constantly. What's a mom to do but sigh and appreciate the fact that she is getting a workout, going back and forth between the front and back doors all the doggone day. <sigh.>



   

Here comes the sun...

I hope. We're headed to Florida on Tuesday for a few days at Disney. Back the following Monday. In case I don't get to post between now and then, have a wonderful week and a happy halloween! Here are a few vintage summery images - I'll start sharing holiday images when I return!

 

Sweet Summer

Here's another peek at Jenni Bowlin's new Town Square collection that will be released at CHA next week. This layout utilizes the new Town Square papers, new JBS border stickers and alpha stickers.







I want to share a few more summery images with you. Can you believe it's nearly August?



"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." John Lubbock, English Biologist and Politican, (1834-1913)
