Shirt is longer so will be a good pairing with the shorts and the Tee.
Canadian Marcelle Mascara
My favourite kind of mascara wand...
basic black and the formula is free of clumps.
~ Little Black Dress ~
I spied this dress on the sale rack at our local Marshall's Shop.
It looked loose fitting, easy to wear and cool for this heat wave that we are having...
I wore it twice this past week and it was a winner!
The Debra K handmade necklace has been in my jewellry collection for about 17 or 18 years...it is a black plastic "FIMO" type base with vintage clear crystals.
Very versatile and a fun piece that makes a statement.
It was an "investment" piece at the time of purchase but if you factor in the CPW
(Cost per wearing)
it has been a real bargain.
Cupid's Dart
happily blooming on the patio
growing and thriving in a big terra cotta pot.
I love the colour.
More lavender sachets...
these ones are smaller as the Dollar Store had sold all the larger gauzy bags.
Great for gifts and perfect to pop into a lingerie or sweater drawer.
Our lavender is having a fabulous year!
The bees are abuzz and so busy collecting pollen.
At any given time there are about 3 different types of bees hard at work.
I tried to get pictures of all the different bees but they were too fast!!
New backpack bag...
great for picnics, beach combing, walks, shopping and holiday time at the cottage.
Lots of compartments, zippered sections.
Ample room for all my basics, a book, water, snack, and some treasures...
hands free shopping!
As I was leaving to go to my Yoga Class....
I spied some hungry visitors.
Twins that were busy munching the Alstromeria and some Hostas!
Too cute to scare away...
as soon as they get bigger they won't fit through the openings in the front gate.
Went to my hairdresser today for a CHOP!
I haven't seen her for several months and my hair was a MESS!
She cut the back up shorter in a wedge (as per my request)
then left the sides a bit shorter
but long enough for the hair to fall in waves and curls.
I look so much like MOM.
( I miss her so much)
Would love to walk along the Esplanade, then go to the Willows Tea Room with her.
We used to do that so often on a sunny afternoon.
