The weather here has cooled off a bit which seems to make so many things more enjoyable. I did a little day trip a couple of days ago, roaming through the countryside and doing a bit of thrifting along the way. It was just a beautiful day and fun to have a wonder round. Along the way I found these retro dishes that made me smile as they seem so happy and bright. I couldn’t resist the little pair of candleholders either, so simple but always useful. I also came across this little vintage trip journal and thought it was just so sweet; it has such a humble quality to it, beckoning the owner to jot down travel plans. The globe was an earlier craigslist find, just love the older ones. It is always fun to have a little free time, slow down and enjoy some solitude. As I was at the waters edge I felt somewhat transported looking at the way the sun reflected on the waterlilies. It reminded me of a Monet painting, so calming. Hope your weekend is going well. Any plans for day trips of your own? dawn x
