A little romance 🌸

To soak in the details of every day, to take pleasure in food and wine, flowers and sunlight, to find beauty in cooking and groceries, laundry and cleaning, to gaze at my children in the morning light and dance with them in the evening, to deeply cherish my husband and parents and dear friends and family, to live life with a sense of lightness and joy and appreciation, whatever it’s season 🌸

Fraise des bois for my daughter, Victorian glasses etched with stars from my husband’s mother, golden cider and peonies in full bloom on a warm spring evening ✨

Growing up we went for tea at three every Sunday at my grandfather’s house, and it was a ritual so engrained I still think of him every week at that time. Since having children I’ve loved creating rituals of our own - flower shop visits, evening dances by candlelight in the winter and with the windows open in the spring, certain songs listened to on certain days, crêpes on special mornings (or any morning we want to make special).

Windows thrown open to the cool courtyard and perfumed irises, the last of the wisteria blossoms and the quiet of hot spring afternoons 🌸

Morning light, coffee in porcelain cups, blooming peonies and dreamy pink sheets 🌸
