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:

a drizzly but lovely weekend with the family in northern michigan.

this week's blog love:   

• seriously, how much fun is oh happy days's diy big fringe garland?!
• 101 things i love asks: what would you tell you?  and shares her own inspiring thoughts. 
• i could absolutely live in this tiny stone cottage on an island off the coast of maine, shared by dustjacket attic
• long distance loving's photographs from her recent trip to lucerne, switzerland feel like a fairy tale come to life.
• i'm so glad a diary of lovely shared her visit to the fashion galleries at the victoria and albert museum.  absolutely brilliant.

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