hello darlings!  i hope that your monday was the perfect start to a brand new week.  and for today, some links that i've gathered especially for you.  charming entertaining ideas, an amazing beauty website, home libraries, stationary, and delicious blueberry pancakes.  and the most adorable image of a mother and baby giraffe.  i had no idea how much j'adore giraffes until i began this blog (beaucoup! beaucoup!).  only three days until home.  oodles of packing and errands until them, and inevitable tears with an au revoir to dear friends and my london, but i do hear the massachusetts coast beckoning...  enjoy & bon soir.  xx hillary
