much love monday.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

the first week of fairly consistent summer weather.  above 70 degrees every day?  yes, please. 

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {sandals + painted toes + green grass}

 {a vibrant bloom}

 {creeping over the wall}

 {a working sunday.  sometimes a necessity.}

this week's blog love:

•  centsational girl has a great list of things to do this summer.  don't worry, they're all FUN! 
•  i love the branding of the liqueur root, discovered by poppytalk - and i think i need to try this recipe!  
• danielle of breakfast at toast has POPS of yellow in interior design.  love!
• and speaking of color in design, wow! to these fantastic rooms on made by girl.
• design*sponge has an extremely well-written response to the new york times article on online magazines.  it's long, but an important discussion on print vs. blogs, women in business, and the nature of competition. 

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.  

xo. di.
