Doilies and dahlias


Lacey swoonerooning …We’ve been indulging in a bit of doily action on the boat this week. The result of my girl crush on these frilly things? Paper panels for a tall shop window – a really stylish but simple backdrop for summer.

It’s this time of year I start the snorefest of feverishly making bunting but this spring instead of getting tangled in fraying fabrics I’m going to whip this idea for a friends wedding in July. Easy peasy gypsy prettiness – how much fun?

Meantime…it’s all about meanwhile gardens, reading La Lady, craving lemon cake and listening to Private Lives.
