i love antiques. things were just MADE better back then, not to mention made to last. you can’t swing a cat in vermont without hitting an antique store and they are all packed with so much good “junk” ! i have begun my summer antiquing and am a girl in her natural habitat.
this is the memorial for the boston marathon bombings at the arlington street church.
it is so beautiful and so moving.
i couldn’t imagine a better sentiment.
we are in boston for a few days before we travel up to vermont. i love this town.
today we are leaving for our annual summer in vermont ! we are all looking forward to a little down time and a LOT of frolicking in the woods for a few weeks. vermont is wilma’s favorite place on earth (yes, even over disneyland !). stay tuned for a LOT of nature . . .
i bought these wonderful fabrics at a flea market in NICE, FRANCE from a woman who’s family owned a mens tailor shop which was now defunct. she had a beautiful collection of REALLY old fabrics . . . i wish i could have bought more. i love the idea of bringing new life to these fabrics. they will soon be my “uniform dresses” and aprons.

antibes, france
everywhere you turn in the south of france there is a macaron staring you in the face. and the the thing is, you can’t help but stare right back because they are so beautiful. the shape and especially the colors. something about them is so pleasing to the eye. i can draw them all day long.
when i was in france this spring, i posted this photo of my sea glass findings for the day. my friend, jeanine payer, quickly noticed that these were the exact colors of the pantone spring 2013 forecast ! what are the odds of that ? . . . sometimes i feel strangely connected to this world.
do you remember that EXCRUCIATING “guess how many mussels” contest i had when i was in france ? this is what the winner won and here is the photo she sent me of her PRIZE !
