{The first signs of summer: ripe blueberries in our backyard}

This was a good week, even though it felt absurdly long (at one point I was convinced the days were moving backwards). But it was also well balanced – with some great meetings, meals with girlfriends, beautiful weather, and a night to myself where I ate caramel out of a jar while watching TV. Sometimes it’s those classier moments that make for the perfect ending to a long day. Have a nice weekend!

    That’s so neat how blueberries grow in your own backyard. Definitely a sign of summer right there. i love the look of all your wrapping paper together. I think it’s the sparkly gold paper that I love the most.

    I love that bicycle wrapping paper! And I am so jealous that you have fresh blueberries nearby. I used to go camping in the Adirondaks with my family and the best part was picking blueberries at the foot of our favorite hiking path ‘blackbear mountain’. Your post was a ncie reminder of that for me, so thanks!

    I am growing heirloom tomatoes this year. My favorite thing is my fig tree in the front yard. I fight the squirrels for the figs though.

    Mmmm … blueberries.

    On a jewelry note: Is the bib style necklace a current fashion trend? I haven’t seen it much lately, but I love the necklace now living on your mannequin.
