ahhh, summer!

The heat and humidity have finally settled in here in Nashville. Summer has officially arrived! Of course, you wouldn't know it if you've been into any stores lately...they've already started to move on to fall merchandise. It's such a shame that retail moves so far ahead of the rest of us! Of course NOW is the time I want to go find a pretty summer dress and buy white-finish furnishings, but c'est la vie. For now, I'm choosing to bask in the present moment, and hoping to have a summer soirée very soon. 

Above are some favorite summer images: flowers and tablescape styled by Chelsea Fuss (www.chelseafuss.typepad.com), firefly girl (love this!), napper and pillow party-er photgraphed by Maura McEvoy (www.mauramcevoy.com).
