Around here I'm making an easy, breezy documenting summer-on-the-go project. It's all about experiencing summer through the senses. I wanted it to be very tactile and textural, like the feeling of my favorite matt finish magazine, Jamie. I'm doing little water colors on Strathmore, and the photos will be printed on Canson ink-jet Arches. Favorite photos on a rich cotton-y rag ... I'm really excited about it.
Around here I'm cutting, considering, and customizing (from my own point of view) a yellow clutch purse. This is just what I have in mind with a gray dress for a summer wedding rehearsal dinner.
Around here the house has been scented with oregano as my interest in baking fresh things for the kids has been revived by our garden herbs. (a new post has the recipe at one good loaf.)
Around here we're counting down just 2.5 days left of the school year. They're quick to shed uniforms each evening for flip flops in the grass.
Around here we're tasting the flavors of summer: grilled lemon chicken, new potatoes, cole slaw, burgers, and roast asparagus. I do so love taking our meals outside as the day stretches out long into evening.

If you want to mentally get away on summer holiday, I made a summer travel-themed play-list.
