a yellow day

my dear friend the sun came for a visit yesterday

(a long long awaited visit, i might add)

it blanketed everything

with it's beautiful

*warm*

yellow glow

i decided to celebrate its return

with a bundle of sunflowers

fresh and sweet

from our little farmer's market.

they're just about the happiest flowers on earth

don't you think?

i love the way they capture the sun

and throw it right back at us

laughing with yellow happiness

and although our little visit was short and sweet

(it packed up and left this morning)

the sun left me with just enough sweetness

to last me until our next visit

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be back again soon

and for

a much longer time, next time..

(don't get me wrong, i love rain

but

it is summer afterall)

wishing you a happy weekend

full of warmth and sunshine

(and if you do see it, please tell it to come back my way for a while)

random sweetness..of the very best kind

imagine opening your mailbox

and getting a

hand-decorated

*hand-written*

letter

from a complete stranger..

an entire village in ireland did.

and if all goes according to plan,

you eventually will too.

how sweet and wonderful people can be.

(this last one really makes me smile)

wishing you a beautiful wednesday

full of sweet surprises.

ps. do you think it would be cheating if i mailed them my address?

..just a thought..

soft seafoam seashell dreams..

***

where do mermaids frolic..

seashells glisten..

and starfish sleep?

***

in my dreams. that's where.

maybe it's all the rain we've had this summer

combined with my love for the sea..

because

i'm filled with thoughts of water

glistening pools, deep oceans and sweet shorelines

soft colors

rich pearls

and

delicate details.

***

..a few water-inspired treats in my jewelry shop..

happy holiday

a very soft summer

{makool}

mist and fog

and drizzly days

and nights

and mornings

and evenings

that's what my summer has been made of so far

but you know

i really love it..

{tuscanystudios}

the moodiness

the lushness

(the plants are exploding with gratitude for all of the moisture)

{countrydreaming}

it's all soft

the air

and the ground

the colors

and the light

{violetjulia}

it's calming

and instead of making me want to nap

(well,..naps are nice..)

it makes me want to go exploring

it sets my imagination rolling with visions

of mysteries and fairytales

{samphoto}

and then there's the cool air..

mmmm...it's a very nice summer so far.

how's your's going?

i'd love to hear.
