it's the weekend...


Last weekend I was here under blue skies and beneath blue seas...this weekend I will be more than likely under an umbrella...the beauty of Europe and her many faces...

Happy weekend, xv.

  2. And isn't it the amount of variety packed into one relatively small area, that makes it all so interesting? A few hours away, and another world awaits.

    Have a lovely weekend under your umbrella! Of course, that could be a rain umbrella, or it could be a sun umbrella too perhaps.

  11. Each has it's charm, but in summer, I know you prefer sun. The weather here has been quite all over the place, as well. Not so much rain as cloudy skies all day, which is unusual for California! Happy weekend, Vicki.xoxo Lidy

  14. Thank you Vicki. Recently discovered your blog and fell in love instantly! It's in my short list of favourites from now on. I admire your style, enjoyed your interview on SRT and share with all my heart your love to French Essence from far away over the pond. This August we'll travel to Paris (staying near Tuileries) and via Loire Chateaux and Provence to south. It would be lovely to have your insider's advice on pre-teen friendly cafes in Paris or hidden spots not to be missed. This will be my son's first time in Paris. What places did Paddy love back then? Thank you for your gift of daily reading joy.

  15. What a beautiful photo! Maybe you can catch up on some reading while it rains. Some quite time alone during a rain shower...sounds good to me right now. Haven't had a day like that in a while.

  16. I quite like a bit of variety with the weather.....a good job that I do , living in the UK !!!!
    We are about to have some really hot weather for a few days which is great, as I am being a couch potato, watching Wimbledon.
    Enjoy your weekend, Vicki, whatever the weather. XXXX

  23. The beautiful photo - almost l'heure bleue perhaps?

    Send some rain this way to North Carolina please - we haven't had a drop for ages and the daily temps. are in the 90's, far too hot.

    I've heard Croatia is lovely - my brother just took a vacation in Albania and loved it there also.

    Happy weekend Vicki.

  25. Oh, Vicki, those splashes of yellow against the blue make my heart sing. I've spent the last week under an umbrella and bundled in layers--we're having a cold, rainy spell in Maine. The forecast today is for sun, so I'll be out in my mother's garden, planting in weeding. For me, that is a perfect Sunday. Wishing you a beautiful week! xo Gigi
