Disorienting wall-eyed day at work, to a long evening in the sunny living room. Sauvignon blanc & elderflower spritzers, new sunglasses & glasses (handmade in USA!), a scarf the color of my face, striped straw clutch. Gifted Husqvarna from tiny Swedish lady, the manual in Swedish. New china, building Easter baskets for the babies. LILACS.

What a lovely, timely post on this dreary morning. And look at the wide-eye gaze on little marmalade kitters down there! Does he have a name yet? I am still pulling for Colonel Mustard
P.S. I think you may need to do a turban tutorial – that is a perfect specimen, at least from what I can see of the photo!

You had me with ‘elderflower spritzers’ (oooh!) but really caught my attention with made-in-the-USA sunglasses. I didn’t know that such a thing existed, and my husband needs new frames. I’m imagining custom sunglasses for myself…

I did not pay that much – about $160 for each frame. (my glasses are the same as the sunglasses but in tortoiseshell. yes, i look like buster keaton.)
the elderflower is a dash of Belvoir elderflower concentrate into white wine. mmmm.

Lovely photos! I can’t wait for summer. This weekend is supposed to be super nice here in the Boston area, so I have Big Plans for sure. I also have been going crazy over elderflower drinks! They’re so delicious and refreshing!
