GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . a sunny & blustery late-saturday morning and the carryalls are packed for a weekend adventure -- crested blazers and crisp blouses and a cozy scarf or two for overcast skies and it's off to fireplaces and turning leaves, country drives and quaint cafés . . .

a million thank you's for stopping by to say hello this week, and -- of course -- for the thoughtful comments, tweets and e-mails -- hope you're having a spectacularly wonderful weekend and that it's beautiful where you are,

. . . wednesday already and how this week {and the summer!} are slipping by . . . and finally, amazingly excited to announce the winner of last week's glamorous give-away: after two unfortunate draws of entries with missing contact information, third time's a charm, as they say, and warmest congratulations to amy, winner of the beautifully designed and stylishly iconic eames chair!

*** congratulations, amy! ***

thanks to everyone who entered and hope you're having a perfectly wonderful week so far,
