Filling the closets with back to school clothes, thinking about school routines, a forecast that looks more like early Fall and it kind of feels like summer is officially over 😭. There’s been lots of good memories made but it also doesn’t really feel like we had much of a true Summer so I’ve decided to just move on already lol
I’m definitely breaking some sort of Instagram code by posting a photo from my stories to me feed, but YOLO. Which also happens to be my approach to enjoying a doughnut multiple mornings this week 🤷🏻‍♀️💃🏻 May your doughnuts stay fluffy and your pants loose, my friends 💜
Is the ‘basket’ for the cactus’s protection or mine? It’s definitely a chicken/egg thing at this point, as I’m doing some sort of heat stroke deep thoughts this lovely summer evening. SO happy with this cool lucite button art/installation thing I picked up last week at @homesensecanada because it reminds me of some sort of moonscape. It’s the new rorschach test, what do you see? (Swipe for the full image)
The dog days of Summer are officially here! 🙌🏻 I predict lots of popsicles in the forecast for today
Eye’m sure there are a million and one witty puns I could use to caption this photo of the new mirror at our rental house (which we’ve lovingly dubbed #sunbeambungalow ). But it’s Friday so a lousy ‘eye’m’ is all I’ve got 😜
Going on 10 years of living here and I still have literally no idea what the heck this flowing bush is, but it is literally my favorite smell ever. THANK YOU to whichever previous owner planted this bad boy next to the deck, because this has become the unmistakable scent of summer to me thanks to many glorious mornings and evenings spent out there with the people I love. My friend Lane for @puraathome is so right, our sense of smell is our truest and strongest connection to our best memories 💜
We have officially flagged everything! So proud and thankful to call Canada home 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day!! 💜
Random fact: I prefer flowering trees to actual flowers. The sheer number of blooms and dreamy scent make it a no brainer. (But I still love a good peony like every good ‘grammer 😜). There are three of these beautiful trees in the yard of our vacation rental and I hope the blossoms hang around long enough for our first guests in a couple weeks 🤞🏻🌸🌱
The next week of exploring the museums, food and sights of Spain I will most definitely also be keeping my eyes open for unique tile. I had no idea how much of an art form tile was here until I experience @tileofspain at last month’s @coveringsshow. It’s so awe inspiring that they even use it on exteriors here for heat efficiency. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
