"Summer afternoon—summer afternoon;
to me those have always been the two most
beautiful words in the English language.”
~Henry James
I had a week's break from work and it was so lovely! I did all kinds of summery things with my family and had a chance to de-stress a little. I went out of town for a few days and did a little antiquing (which is one of my most FAVOURITE things to do!), visited a lake with my sister, brother in law, and a friend, saw movies, went to a FABULOUS bakery, and generally had a wonderful time! I took lots of pictures and here are just a few that I wanted to share with you including me and my sister at the lake, an outdoor cafe I visited, a ballroom in a hotel that I walked through which was gorgeous, and the FABULOUS french bakery my parents and I visited. The beautiful lady in the bakery photos with the eclair is my lovely Mum! I hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of summer too!
Beautiful photos Jennelise! I love the pictures of the lake, very calming. The photo of the outdoor cafe reminds of a photo I took this summer when I was in Tarpon Springs with my parents. And you my dear are the spitting image of your beautiful mum!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos but by far the best one is of you - you are absolutely beautiful, you look like a ballerina.
ReplyDeleteThat big ole buffalo is funny, haha. Can you imagine waking to that everyday? I have never EVER understood decorating with dead things. Bleck. So gross. There should be a fabulous ornate antique mirror there, not a DEAD ANIMAL, what gives with that? Guys, sheesh. Let's just go over here and take a look at the taxidermied (fill in the blank.) Really? Icky huh?
Of course my fav posts are of your AMAZING artwork, but sure is fun to see a little bit of you and your life, too.
Thank you for coming to visit my blog and leaving a comment, I am so pleased you enjoyed my blog and hope you come back for more inspiration as I post regularly.
ReplyDeleteI love your prints, I have just been to look at your etsy shop, I hope I can put some of your work on my blog at some point.

ReplyDeleteYou favor your mom, Jennelise; strong family genes and two lovely ladies you are! Looks like you had such a nice little getaway and I particularly love those colorful bistro chairs!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what kind of camera you have? You take great photos.
