flowers and friends



i woke up this morning smiling.
nevermind the cold rain
crazy wind and big dark clouds.
no they didn't bother me or make me want to go back to sleep.
(i actually really do love rain)

it's just that i woke up 
with my head full with visions 
of all the things i'm plotting
and the adventures i'm planning
in the coming months
now that spring is almost here!



oh yes.
so many plans.
and the first thing i'm going to do
is put on a yellow linen sundress the color of sunshine
(just exactly like this one
and the kerchief too, believe me)
and
i'm going to pack a big basket full of food and books 
(and cameras)

and head out
for a picnic.



for this first little adventure,
i'm not thinking of the kind with lots of people and croquet and horse-shoes..
(those will come later..definitely)


today
i'm thinking of the sweet slow lazy sort



the kind with just a few friends
(such as my lovelies featured today..)
 
the kind where we don't really know where we're going
where we just go out and find 
the biggest field of wildflowers..



and wade out to the very middle..




spread out a big big blanket..




pull out our supplies 
(the most important things first, of course)..




and just sit.
and
watch butterflies.

let the warm breeze blow
and let spring work its magic.

yep.
that's what i'm going to do.

what have you got planned..
would you like to come along too?

again and again over the next weeks and months (and years!)

with sneak peeks of *palomas* coming to my bead shop.

  9. How happy I was, to show that you have post a new message. When I see your blog, I think that spring is really come back. I hope you will post on Friday because in France the weather will turn bad. No warm more, and at least no sun more. So I hope your blog will be my little sunshine every day with beautiful picture and sweets words.
