. . . first of all, i am so so happy that we are finally getting a little cool front here in dallas! i just made it in from a walk with my other half & we just couldn't believe how nice & pleasant the breeze felt + what a lovely full moon we had tonight!


so, i thought i'd share some refreshing sea paintings by one of my favorite artist marybeth thielhelm & a little quote from one of my favorite poets!


. . . thirst drove me down to the water where i drank the moon's reflection - rumi

cassaro fabrics . . .

. . . wow it's already august! summer is fading fast, although it's still oh so hot! 

things have been pretty busy & a bit crazy these last few weeks - i've been trying to find that zen place between all the things i want to do & all the things i have to do!  but i trust that everything will start to fall into place & i'll be back here, sharing my favorite finds with all of you!

. . . for example, how about these absolutely beautiful fabrics by cassaro + what lovely settee, huh?

happy week!
