dreaming of summer

I always feel that our last holiday is the best one we had, and it is hard to imagine how the next one could top it, but it always does.

As the weather becomes more and more pleasant around here, strong nostalgic feelings keep coming up about the road trip Jin and I took last year to Prince Edward Island. It was the perfect summer trip.

I can tell that summer travel is on your minds too, as some of you have inquired about the beautiful cottage we stayed at on the island. This cottage belongs to a friend of ours, and he was very kind to let us stay there on our holiday. I am sad to tell you that, he does not rent the cottage to people he does not know. I am so sorry!

But don’t let that discourage you; I know for a fact that there are a lot of beautiful cottages for rent on the island.

I looked back at the photos from our trip and I found these ones that I quite like, and I never posted before. The ones on the beach are taken by Jin through his hat. I like the screen filter it creates. It feels very summery to me. And look how short my hair was! And that cottage looks so sweet at night.

See past posts about our holiday to the smallest province in canada, here.

What are your plans this summer?

T.G.I.F.

It has been a long week. Today, I feel the most beat.
I wish I could trade a day with Mea.

Mea? Could you take my place at work? And I will take your place on the couch.
I could sit by your window, and monitor the neighbourhood activity for you.
You can sit at my computer, and attempt to coordinate that site plan.
I could pick a fight with Mojo, and win for you. Show him who is boss.
And you can figure out that site plan, and tell me what is wrong with it.

Can we trade?
Just for one day?
Please?

T.G.I.F is all I have to say.

and, happy weekend everyone.

Handwashing my favourite scarves and handkerchiefs in our new basin.

All, but one, are from Portobello Rd, except for the second one in from the left. I got that one from Jinny's mom. We have a matching set.

Our bathroom is mostly finished. I promise to show you how it turned out, soon.

flower shop break

I took a break from work and went for a little walk. Spring is all around us, I wanted to catch some of it.

I stopped by my favourite flower shop, Jaidens Petals.

Dani was kind enough to let me look around and take some pictures. I love her style, and she always has the best window displays.

After a little chat, I brought back this sweet little bouquet home

That was a lovely break, now back to work I go.
