roses are pink and yellow

we're going for an "english garden" theme i am told.  mainly because he's english and i think he misses it. he loves messy and wild.  i prefer a bit more of an edited and manicured landscape, but since i had control of the entire inside of the house, my gardening opinion is but a mere whisper.   o well.  we're off to a good start.  here are a few pics...

PEONIES!

i'm too green to know what the rest of these are

notice the absence of mulch.  apparently it's too american/suburbia.  not english-y.  ugh.  i like mulch!

 

we've also sectioned off a huge patch for a very wild and crazy wild flower garden.  tiny green stems are just sticking up now.  we'll see what we get!

photographer of the fairies

if Holiday could have a house photographer (other than my sister) i would choose Tim Walker.  my heart beats a-flutter when i look at his images.  i LOVE when that happens- and it's not often.  i get all woozy when i feel inspired.  for me, it's the best feeling in the world. here are just a few wonder-filled images.

more love arrows

after my last post i randomly came upon this...

The Emma Book Clutch by Kate Spade

 how darling!

little things

totally matter to me.  i especially enjoy when mark cooks for me- and he loves to cook. 

i just got this yummy/sweet email...

"i may make a quiche/flan from scratch tonight, with salad..."

my response is this photo

string-tastic

I love these simple string bracelets for summer.  The gold beads perfectly polishes them off. Holiday just ordered up a bunch!

should arrive in store this thursday!
