Weekly what:nots...

Hello! Life has settled down (well, just a bit) and I'm almost on top of things. In the good news department we have found a wonderful school for the boys (hooray!), and planning for our epic adventure is just about complete. The boys' play was a resounding success, and summer has finally arrived in Portland (even if today is rather grey). Thank you for hanging in there in my absence, and for your kind comments - they make me smile. Here's a long overdue what:nots - enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Another beautiful image from Shine By Three.

The perfectly pretty 'Suri' summer top

(the link for which I have lost! If by chance you recognise it please let me know).

Absolutely loving these bracelets from wsake.

Neëst's clever (and cute) little kitchen gadget.

The versatile Jane dress from J Crew.

I'm somewhat obsessed by these Ben Seibel bookends.

James Westwater's Wall Installations (found via Seesaw).

A quote from Margaret Atwood's Looking in a Mirror from The Journals of Susanna Moodie (found via Field & Sea).

And to end with, a cutting from one of the delights of our new garden - an ancient  lilac tree.

Possibly...

...the loveliest wedding ever. The light, the flowers, and the utterly gorgeous couple...

A little bit of pretty...

...for your Thursday (or Friday). I hope it's going well.

Weekly what:nots...

Goodness it's hard to believe another week has rolled by! I hope you've had a lovely one. We've been busy with camp organising and so forth. I must admit I will miss Turtle & Mu when they head off next week. To help life the spirits, here's this weeks what:nots - I hope you enjoy them!

Is this a turkey? It appears in the feature on Carolina Irving's home in Lonny. I'm not exactly sure what it is but it's rather nifty all the same!

The perfect new bag for Fall.

Seeing this dress from Requiem Spring 2010, reminded me of

this beautiful green dress from Atonement.

I adore this sweet posey of flowers from here.

Have you visited Terrain? They have a fab collection of all things house and garden-y, including this great clam basket, and lovely carrot hand cream.

The perfect industrial bookshelf - found here.

A non-profit that distributes community-grown produce to low income people free of charge. A brilliant idea well worth sharing and supporting!
