I’ve missed this dear blog and have been longing to put some time aside to post for a while now. I’ve been swept away into the daily practices of work, Summer living, a long awaited home move on the horizon and…more work!

What has been keeping you busy this Summer? Are you longing for a bit of what Fall will bring? Although we’re still deep in the heat out here in LA, I’m feeling ready for this season to close and the onset of Fall to come our way. I wanted to give thanks to the heady, sultry days of Summer by sharing with you some snapshots of my Summer, below.
