english summer

although today is cool and dreary, i did once experience the magic of an english summer day. at buscot park in the country, an old masters lecture was naughtily ignored for a sun-kissed afternoon of exploration.
dear friends, charming views, secret gardens, cart-wheeling through open fields,
in our own dream world, worthy of a novel.. 

also, some links to share:

• as soon as i get my hands on a sewing machine: diy lace shorts
• the most clever hand-stitched luggage tags
• closest to proper post: adorable (and trackable) e-cards and invitations

isn't it wonderful when things begin to fall into place?  hope you're having a lovely day.  xx hillary
