summer is ready when you are

It's already feeling like summer here. And I have the mosquito bites to prove it! Also, I'd better make a hair appointment soon before the heat and humidity drive me to a regrettable home hair-cutting act. But summer also means no more boots and tights: just flowy and lightweight skirts and dresses, and delicious Hendrick's and tonics with cucumber slices.

And lots of flowers and color (and some basic black and white, too) in this week's shop sneak peek!

  4. That first dress is just screaming summer garden party! I wish summer would hurry up and begin already, it's weirdly warm and rainy here today, almost tropical, very strange.

  7. Thank you, Marie! I wish you could click on these and go right to the listing, too...because that would mean I had listed them! :D I'm running a little behind right now, but these will begin appearing on Etsy starting tomorrow. In the meantime, you can see my latest listings on the little Small Earth Vintage Etsy Shop mini on the upper righthand side of the blog (click it or the listing to go right to the shop).

    But you've put an idea into my head. Maybe I should be editing the blog photos as I list them to go to the Etsy shop. I'll try to do this!
