It’s finally here! The first official summer weekend was fantastic! Farmers market, a few good yard sales with vintage, yard work, dinner in the garden with friends, saw the
Sign Painters documentary which was so awesome, and FYI the book is out too. I caught up a bit with one of the directors, Faythe Levine, which I know from my artgoodies gig. Her shop Paper Boat Boutique in Milwaukee, which has since closed, was the first place outside of Grand Rapids that I started working with almost 7 years ago. It was a pivotal moment in artgoodies history and I still can’t thank her enough. Then a fun wedding shower today, and I actually laid in the sun and read part of a book-amazing! Of course, I still worked both yesterday and today, because let’s face it, that’s how I roll. So no travel on the books again this summer which is strange and different yet again. However, this summer I have no magazine photo shoot to prep for and I’ve settled into the rhythm of working with a few larger companies, SO hopefully I can find a relaxing balance this summer…maybe?
What summer dreams are made of. Dinner in the garden with friends. Fresh grilled asparagus, homemade fennel potato salad, grilled veggie burgers, salad from my garden with local veggies, local bread and cheese, and sun tea! Yay for summer, the farmers market, gardening, and time with friends!
Sweet tiny little bouquet from my garden.
Strawberry season, short lived here but so good!
I cannot resist buying fresh asparagus from the market stand that ties a little twine bow around the bundles!
