i saw these lovely umbrellas in my inbox this morning via daily candy...just in time for the rainy season here

etsy goodness...

a friend of mine from work recently opened up her own shop of her beautiful handmade necklaces...i received one with a turqoise stone as a gift a while ago and i adore it...

also be sure to check out her daughter's photography...and she's only just out of highschool...gotta watch out for this girl...

ashleigh verrier...

something about ashleigh verrier's 2008 resort collection...she's so good with ruffles and girly frills...

a peace treaty...

i know it's summer and a lot of you are dealing with unbearable heat right now, and just the thought of a scarf around your neck brings on heat stroke...but the evenings here have been so refreshingly cool and almost chilly at times that i could totally snuggle up with one of these beauties...
