. . . and if there was any doubt as to how fleeting the summer months are, one week of wimbledon, the world's oldest & most prestigious tennis tournament, has already come and gone, unavoidably missed, due to wonderful projects and whirlwind travels, but, happily, still the final week left of royal attendees and crisp summer whites, impossible excitement and, of course, strawberries & cream . . .

{every great dream begins with a dreamer}
. . . while it may feel like the weeks are whirling by lately, each day brings us a little closer to the loveliest time of all, and new weeks are such wonderful things, {this one being filled with photo shoots and plans, letters, emails, and late-lunch dates} . . . and so, for today, the prettiest pencil skirt and a romantic ruffled blouse, a perfect trench with the sleeves pushed back and it's monday, monday . . .

{happy st. patrick's day & spring things}
May you have warm words
on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill
all the way to your door.
~ irish blessing

{summertime, summertime}
~ dean koonz
. . . summertime at last, my favourite time of year and there's a beautiful heaviness to the air that only comes from languorously hazy & humid days, and there are plans for picnics {more than anything} and hand-rolled waffle cones with two scoops {mango and pralines & cream}, golden beaches and midnight walks . . . and whether luxurious plans for afternoon daydreams on gold-threaded italian silk and strolling the winding paths of elaborate gardens, or sunlit days on terraces and dinners outdoors at sunset, wishing you a summer filled with more beauty than you can stand . . .
happy first day of summer!
