Good morning! Summer arrived with a vengeance yesterday ’round these parts. I went for my usual Tuesday run, and was much slower (and sweatier) than usual. Even my peppy playlist couldn’t push me along. Humidity is here. For a cool-down, I cut a few peonies for my first self-made bouquet of the season, pictured above …. I can’t believe I spend so much time waiting for my peonies to bloom, and then it’s all over in the blink of an eye. I’m trying to savor them by taking lots and lots of pictures.
There are two shop updates today that you should know about. First, Mav is updating her shop at noon EDT with some fun stuff to mark the Card Society birthday. I, for one, am not leaving for my Wednesday to-do’s until I’ve had a chance to check out the goods. Second, Martha from Uniform Studio is set to update her shop today as well. I am drawn to her clothing – the colors, the shapes, so lovely, and minimalist. Check out her fashions (and more) at her Flickr page. You may recall the wrapped dress as one of my favorites. Good luck, Martha, and happy shopping, all! Gotta love Etsy …. and for some synergy, Mav’s skirt in her 5/29 post is from Uniform-Studio! It’s a small world ….
