We got a nice shower this afternoon that couldn't have lasted fifteen minutes, but it was enough to cool off the day.
My farmhouse blues keep the mood cool too. A blue enamel basin sits on an old soft flour sack tablesquare with more blue in the vintage print.
It's easy to imagine a time when a farmer might come in after a hot day and splash cool water on his face from a cool blue bowl. Now it just makes things cool and pretty.
The weekend passed so quickly, but I fit in an hour or two of browsing shops, and found this bit of hand sewn lace.
A perfect end to another lovely week of summer.
I hope you have a cheery summer week planned ahead!
Ciao! for now!

I really like the combination of the pink flowers with the blues and white pitcher. I love white enamel ware, have a collection of EW coffee pots above the cabinets in my kitchen.
