A rainy day in Helsinki today

and I've created myself a cosy nook on the sofa,

jotting down some holiday plans in my moleskine

& eyeing up some decor inspiration.

And here's a home that just grabbed me -

all soft and rugged,

 and designed by the owner duo 

of i gigi general store -

It makes me happy when you stop by,

sending you smiles.

summer livin'

I recently joined a local facebook group, 

where people post photos of skips that they come across 

on the streets somewhere...

The day after joining, a picture of a skip close by came up

with this lovely ladder just waiting to be snatched.

It's looking good leaning against the kitchen wall right now

& one day in that 'library' I'm dreaming about...

(and doubles as the perfect climbing frame for the girl it seems).

The sun has been kissing our shoulders

and lighting the days long into the night.

The past Midsummer weekend

was a longed for chance to dip our toes in the sand&sea

and absorb that summer feel also under the skin.

For years I remember feeling

I wasn't really a 'summer person'

- mmmm, what was I actually thinking? 

Wishing you all light-filled days,

body&soul.

Let's spring open the front door 

to this inviting, light-filled hallway,

and step right in...

Some of you may remember this Cambridgeshire  home 

from this post,

yet somehow I think it's just as appealing

seeing it in its 'bare bones'.

Have a lovely evening,

soirées d'été

Nothing quite like these lingering, balmy summer evenings,

with the fragrance of lilacs wafting 

through the bedroom window.

{ Listening to this beautiful lady,

who I swear walked nonchalantly past us in Paris - }
