{bright mornings & busy days . . .}

. . . the day began as a whirlwind and happily slowed down {just a little} with an early morning stop at the farmers' market for apples, honey comb, pecan butter tarts & two of the most enormous, and romantically fragrant bouquets of pink peonies {if you're on twitter, you may have already heard} and somehow we have arrived at wednesday already and there is still much to catch up on, and so many wonderful things to do . . . and of course, a little behind on a million blog posts, and hopefully can complete a few today, including this week's favourite five, and there are so many other beautiful things to tell you . . .

{colour inspiration: cerise & hermès orange}

. . . a dash of perfect eyeliner and pale & pretty lips, and for the rest, spectacularly vibrant shades of cerise and hermès orange to take mid-winter afternoons from dreary to daydreams with silk scarves and satin heels, brilliantly bright bouquets and structured handbags, pink satin teacups and love is in the air . . .
