I think my brain short-fused when I turned the flower shop calendar over last week… I stared blankly at the new month’s page for a good 20 seconds before I could accept that it is, in fact, August. I saw a meme on Instagram that said, “June and July lasted 4 seconds,” and it gave me some comfort; maybe I’m not the only one who feels like we just celebrated the new year, yet somehow we’re halfway through the summer.
I always make big plans at the start of the season, filled with barbecues, DIY home projects and weekend beach trips, but in reality, the last two months were a blur of work, humidity, brutal summer allergies, and heat-induced lethargy that resulted in a lot of Netflix and Chill In The AC.
Fortunately, we still have plenty of the season ahead of us — don’t even talk to me about pumpkin spice anything until October — so I have some time for a summer redemption.
Maybe I’ll drag myself down to the community pool for 5 minutes this weekend. ;)
Now onto this week’s highlight reel! (Truth: some of these are from last week, too; I started this post last Friday and then forgot to finish it. #summerbrain)




Went back to school shopping with my daughter & had to constantly remind myself I in fact did not need elephant shaped paperclips.
i so love back to school supplies!! & i also have a stationary stash… i guess i should write more letters! ;) love your post! can’t wait to read more!
Beautiful post
WHERE DID SUMMER GO?! I’m on the same train as you
LOVE that button front skirt!
I also love me some school supplies..every day..all year.. The TJ MAXX & Marshalls selection gets me everytime. Wal-Mart had some awesome composition notebooks recently too.
Some days its almost like you feel fall in the air !
Still love your blog Keira!
You aren’t the only one who loves a back to school sale. I go in for my kids but the beautiful stationery and smooth gliding pens just call to me. I’m a writer but I love to hand write things. Good pens (and pretty ones) are life! The macaroon erasers are adorable. Flower shop and bakeries, a match made in heaven.
I love to hand write things, too! There’s just nothing better than giving/receiving snail mail. ☺️
I’ve just got to make my next dinner party invite by mail. I’ve got so much pretty paper here and I need to use it more. Have a great day darling.
That’s a great idea!!
