Hello, friends! How’s your holiday weekend so far? I hope you have something fun planned to celebrate the not-so-fun end of summer. We’ve only been back to school for two whole days, and here I am, writing the second blog post of the week 🙂 This week’s finds are a curious bunch: books, textiles, home tours (I know you like those), youtube videos… Let me know what you think. First on my list is a two-part tribute to the late design legend Robert Kime. Filmed as a preview to the October 2023 auction of Kime’s personal collection, the two videos honor a lifetime of influential work, and an impressive network of meaningful friendships.  Incredibly touching…

This Week’s Finds

After an abundant June in the garden, with a symphony of colors and scents, and plenty of blooms to pick – peonies, lupine, iris and delphiniums – the garden is experiencing a dip in productivity, as am I. The Shasta daisies and echinacea are the only flowers going strong right now, attracting some of the most gorgeous butterflies I have ever seen. Some as big as the palm of my hand. The limelight hydrangeas have been rather shy bloomers this year and are taking their time forming their frothy panicles. Just when I thought my hydrangea luck had turned.
