GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . hello! after a busy & lovely weekend, a [very] late start here, and how are things? the new week is already filled with a million things, including still more sorting & organising [beribboned boxes of old photographs, long-lost love letters and beautifully written correspondence cards], and plotting & plan-making, meetings and appointments and telephone calls, but also, moments of leisure in all of the busy-ness, for catching up with an old friend, and lattes and mid-day lunch dates . . .

hope you had a beautiful weekend, and that your week is off to a perfect start, —roséline xo



{p.s.} also : a flurry of new posts from just before the weekend, which you [very likely] may have missed:

. . . by the time you read this message, it will be many cups of coffee later, and well on our way out of town to new york for fashion week, having awoken at an impossible hour and caught a glimpse of the most spectacular september sunrise, the clouds an indescribably breathtaking and vibrant shade of pinkish-coral and lined in silver, and there will be fashion week events and breakfast meetings, long-overdue appointments and afternoon shows, cocktail dresses for 6pm soirées and can not wait to tell you!

hope you are having a wonderful weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

. . . in all of this week's busy-ness and the midst of the rather astonishing revelation that it is already thursday, had very nearly forgotten to tell you the exciting news that a little while ago, received a lovely invitation to be a guest on apartment therapy's the kitchn's charming series, breakfast with a blogger -- and so, take a glass of mimosa and click here to join me for breakfast and read about one of my favourite ways to begin the day . . .

"The world's favorite season is the spring.
All things seem possible in May."

. . . there is a vintage sterling silver serviette holder on my desk {below}, that is used for favourite photographs, letters, invitations, and gold foil-lined envelopes; however with a change in season and a brand new month, aside from the overwhelming desire to throw open every french door and window, there are also thoughts of redoing, perhaps repainting, but most of all, reorganizing, and at this moment {besides the closets} it is the office, currently overflowing with letters, cards, bills, receipts and recent boarding passes . . . and the serviette holder, however lovely, can only hold so much, so perhaps a silver vintage toast rack {beautiful and practical} may be just the thing . . .

. . . and if you ever find yourself roaming about the antique markerts early one saturday morning, in paris, or otherwise, a latte in hand a boyfriend in tow, you'll most likely find a wonderful array. . . and of course, for those quiet moments on weekday mornings, there is always a vast assortment online, from etsy, {here}, and ebay, {here} . . .
