I don't like clothes

. . .
A certain someone once posted a handful of 1910's Home & Garden magazine covers to the internet and I still remember that blog post to this day. Pretty brunettes tending to their flower gardens in clothing that made it through the past 100 years looking easy and beautiful and exactly the kind of thing you'd want to wear. Along with the magazine covers was this caption: "I feel like someone looked into my heart and painted who i want to be these days."

I saw Dadu Shin's illustrations this morning on Rebecca's blog and it reminded me of Amy's post in that, now I can't get these girls out of my brain. Maybe it's the hair, maybe it's the clothing... But they've got me wanting a long, geometric print empire waist dress to wear, ASAP... (or maybe by Friday, please!)

Big Sur, on disposable camera film from our trip this past May.
If you're planning on visiting, I really and truly recommend this website. I also recommend you walk the Pacific Valley Bluff trail at sunset. It won't disappoint, I promise.

Cottage life on the brain - practically all hours of the waking day. There's a legitimate reason for all of this, but it's probably better to share once everything's finalized! Soon, so soon! For now, a few things that've caught my eye around the internet all over on pinterest.

And now I promise I'll never mention instagram on here ever again.

Wild Flowers at Elmwood

. . .
Mark your calendars and get those paypal accounts ready - something pretty fantastic is going down on July 29th and I wouldn't miss it for the world! Amy is hosting a pretty special flower filled afternoon at Elmwood and the day's agenda includes instruction on hand bouquets, mason jar arrangements and maybe a daisy crown or two (if I can have anything to do with it). Some of my most favorite days involve that girl, her flowers, and that house - so I promise it's gunna be good.

( All you'll need to know about the class is over here )
