"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."


F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

......................................................................................................

. . . and somehow, amidst everything -- days at the office and starlit weekends in the country, after the rains and the windswept petals, softly, beautifully, and at long last, it has arrived . . .

happy first day of summer! & hope it's beautiful where you are,

{have a romantic [long] weekend + links}

happy weekend
ruche28

. . . this weekend has been filled with such lovely things -- strong coffee and frothy lattes, chocolate & banana crêpes at sunday brunch, and dinner at a favourite restaurant {for dessert: a warm chocolate brownie with peanut butter mousse and banana ice cream, sprinkled with peanuts, and drizzled with the most decadent caramel sauce}, conversations from oceans away and taxis in the rain, time at the shops {a new shimmery gold top} and long walks in the late-may sun, the strains of opera music in the background and just the two of us . . .

hope you're having a perfectly romantic {long} weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

Branching Out

 branch montage fine art print ~ a wild goose chase

I'm not sure if it's the bare trees all around my yard, or the feeling of scaling down and wanting to declutter and destress, but these branchy pics I've had saved in my files for some times have really struck a cord today.

. . . every evening, fading beautifully into dreams, always overflowing with excitement for the surprises and enchantments that a new day will bring, for the very next morning and the early light, freshly brewing coffee and time for reflection and plans -- but weekends -- on weekends all of these things and even more so -- the mornings are a little longer, evenings a little later, and it's on weekends that romance is everywhere and daydreams fill every waking moment . . .

wherever you may be in the world and whatever plans you may have, wishing you a wildly romantic weekend & hope it's beautiful where you are,

Color Theory~ Loving Pink

we heart it

Now, I'm not a huge pink person, but when I get involved with a color, I love to see it for all
of the possibilities of it's uses, then fall in love with each one. And today, I'm smitten with pink.
The way it is found in nature, in skin tones, forced into rooms and sweets.
Bending it's gender in interior design and even it's shade of rosiness and tone.
Used in romance, design, fashion, cosmetics, interiors, everyday accents of home and even humor...

 funky trend

If you aren't into pink, try a simple pink flower arrangement, a pink brooch, a pink cupcake, or even... paint your nails pink. I haven't painted my nails for 3 1/2 years,
until Sunday... and what color did I choose? Pink! It made me feel refreshed.
