. . . and after another stunning summer weekend: a new week, and this one is filled with the anticipation of things to come -- currently in talks & the planning stages for two very exciting new projects, a few upcoming features and interviews, a possible last-minute trip, and perhaps even a summer cabin stay, and the feeling of butterflies and fluttery anticipation that often comes when everything is falling beautifully in to place . . .

how was your weekend? hope it was perfectly lovely {& relaxing!} and that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

......................................................................................................

. . . and somehow, amidst everything -- days at the office and starlit weekends in the country, after the rains and the windswept petals, softly, beautifully, and at long last, it has arrived . . .

happy first day of summer! & hope it's beautiful where you are,
xo

{happy monday + a give-away}

. . . hello! monday, monday and beautifully exhausted after a summer weekend away, lavender-laden thoughts still lingering . . . and while wonderful to get away, always lovely to return home again to a new week filled with a million brilliant things: to do, to see, to plan, to accomplish, to dream . . .

hope you had a spectacular weekend & wishing you a perfect start to the week,
xo
