Thursday Thrill – Pearl

June, that mirrored breath of both spring and summer, lowers her lashes from that first bloom's blush and casts her gaze toward ever lengthening days, those filled with love's bright rush.

"Then followed that beautiful season...Summer...
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light:
and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood."

Treasury Tuesday – Move This Party Outdoors!

It's officially summer now, everybody!! Time to get outside!!

Everyday now someone is BBQ-ing in the sunshine near our apartment. We take a walk everyday and I find my sniffer wanting to follow the heavenly smell of grilled goodies that seems to linger in the air. We'll walk past neighborhoods where you hear laughter and gabbing coming from the backyards. People sharing an afternoon outside with friends and family is one of the best parts of the summer and today's treasury highlights items that would be perfect for just such an occasion!

Curated by Andrea of sorrythankyou79 (who has a super fun shop full of vintage goodies by the way!), this treasury features fun retro decor items and accessories that would highlight any patio party. I love love love the 50s cat eye glasses and those bar stools are outrageously cute! Making her debut in this party is my starburst hair bow, "Stars in Their Eyes"!
