See it?
On the window...

I got the vinyl text sticker from Etsy. I thought it was the perfect tongue in cheek thing to have in our sauna :)
Happiness is also a pile of freshly ironed napkins.

I confess in being a self proclaimed napkin geek.
Pretty things in bloom.. I've waited for this baby to bloom for two summers and finally!

Saturday brought us stormy winds.
The flower petals from my horse chestnut tree were billowing in the wind like giant snowflakes.

Saara came home from camp. It all went well, she made new friends and passed her classes so her confirmation is now officially on August 7th. Which coincidentally is our 17th anniversary. We have a big party to plan. I need to send out the invites before our flight..
glow in the dark paint!

Julia's been over a few times. She's now practically running around the place, can say no while shaking her head (which consequently makes everyone laugh) and loves playing peek a boo with her cousins who compete on who can make her giggle the most.
She also discovered the joys of toy food. She spent time happily stirring small pieces of wooden pasta in a pot and seasoning it with ketchup..

She's also a big fan of the matriuska dolls we have.

This is what I have been waiting for all week..


It was open this morning!
And yesterday I cought this neon green little bitty bug on my first peony.
The weather's been cool and rainy, but I've used it as a good time to make minis for the fair in July and caught up on the 1st season of Flashforward.
The flight?
yes, I've also been busy planning our trip to Paris :)
We leave on tuesday.. our hotel is five minutes from the Eiffel tower..
