Floppy wool hats (like this one) and long skirts for the fall.

fantasy island

I love blue.  It was the color of my curtains in my childhood bedroom and the paint color I chose for our guest room-turned-nursery.  Some find it too loud, but I think just the opposite.  This house in the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence is quite possibly the perfect shade of blue.  Up against the green rolling hills and sandy roads...it evokes a quiet calm and peacefulness, doesn't it?   

I wish you all a cozy weekend wherever you are...

...happy weekend!

habit

Check out this blog I just came upon via soulemama.  Love that their intention is to simply make a "habit" of capturing the beauty and joy in their everyday lives (much like this sweet pic!) - something that I think we all want to do. I know I do - in my mind anyway, if not on camara.  I will add it to my list of morning reads - maybe you will too! 

...happy thursday!

a little inspiration

How pretty is this pile of felt fabric?  I love every color!  A bit of sunshine on such a gloomy day outside!  I just wanted to share since I am so excited for Friday.  Jackson and I are going to head into the city, pop into Purl Soho, and take a gander around at the lovely fabric.  I hope I won't get too overwhelmed by it all.  I am in search of a little inspriration for a craft project I have in mind for Jackson's first birthday (well, more like his Christmas present...!)

Here are some projects that are truly adorable!  Jackson is a mad-man now and will simply not stay still on a playmat.  So...hmmm...maybe for the next one!
