Gra-TEA-tude and a Giveaway!

Well, hello lovely friend.

SO happy you could meet
today by the lake
for a tea and a chat.
I've saved you a spot
in this cozy corner.....


I brought a thermos
of my favorite, Paris Tea
by Harney & Sons.
Here you go.
Cheers!

Schools out, so I've
also brought my
big boy and my
little dog.  They are
going to walk and
explore while we visit.

 

I want to thank you
for the shoulder you
lent me to
lean on
cry on
sigh on
and just...hold on to.

My daughter has now
been gone 48 hours.
She's there.
Italy.
I hope the sun is shining.
I hope she is happy.


Even though she spends
much of her time drawing
and writing in her room,
the house seems so much
quieter without our girl.

We miss her.

But I'm here, with you,
and the wind is on
our face and the tea
is another comforting friend.
I'm grateful for so much.

How have you been?
You look great today!
Isn't it wonderful when
the seasons change and
we can pull out some old
and new favorite clothes?


I am wearing the Shabby 
Apple dress that I won, recently,
on the lovely blog, La Dolfina.
The style is called Da Vinci.
The dress was supposed to
go with my daughter to Italy,
but when it arrived and she
tried it on, we both agreed
that it was really more of
a me dress than a her dress.

What do you think?

I love that it is as soft as
a well-worn tee shirt and
that it can be dressed up
or down, depending on the
accessories that I choose.
It's as comfy as my yoga pants
 but a lot more presentable.


There is nothing like a new
dress to cheer a girl up!
Especially one that has an
Italian name : )

I love it so much, that I
want you to have a chance
to win one of their dresses
for yourself!  If you've never
heard of Shabby Apple and their
then you should know, they
have something for every
age, stage, shape and size,

Here are the three
dresses that you can 
select from ....


The Da Vinci
Think soft.  Think versatile.
The Amethyst
Think faux wrap.  Think comfy.
Details

The Cortez
Think ruffles. Think navy.

{Fine print:  Followers must 
have  a U.S. address to win.}

To enter the giveaway,
just leave me a comment
at the end of this post, 
telling me which dress
you'd choose.

Super-simple.


Are you working on
your summer sand bucket
list?  How is it going?
I guess that it isn't officially
summer until June 21st,
so I've still got time to
check off more of my
boxes!  Here's a few
that I did get to this week:

Laugh over a long
lunch out with my kids....
Check.

Visit the library.  I LOVE
the library in the summer!
CHECK.

Watch the sun rise and
the sun set.  Check, check.


Oops, let me refresh your tea.  
Have a muffin.
 Between bites, I'd love
to know what's on
your sand bucket list.....

xx
Suzanne
