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:

after a weekend full of progress on projects, i am now just one week away from being in northern michigan with the family for the final week of sis's wedding preparations, which is also doubling as my summer vacation so i am. so. pumped.  just have to get through 5 pretty stressful work days as i try to get things done there too. 

pictures worth a thousand words:
 

{farmers' market flowers}

{painted wood slab projects (for sis's wedding) in progress via my instragram}

 {purchased this last week for my growing stamp collection}

 {speaking of stamps: making little details for rehearsal dinner}

this week's blog love:  

• like design*sponge, i'd also like to live in the talented mr. ripley - minus the whole creepiness factor of course. 
• creature comforts introduced me to the beautiful images of photographer leela cyd.
•  since my sister is an august birthday, i loved mrs. lilien's tribute to mrs. peridot: the mistress of august.
• love getting this peep into wit & whistle's sketches for her forthcoming halloween designs.
• besotted brand sets out the easiest way to center your rubber stamps.
• fan of paper and books?  how about shakespeare?  go see what casee marie of literary inklings shared here.

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

xo. di.
