Spring postcard

I  hope this finds you well and safe, and with a positive spirit despite the new reality we are all facing.

I am thankful to be living in the countryside, and being allowed to leave the house for an hour each day to exercise. The dogs look forward to it as much as I do, and it is a wonderful respite to immerse oneself in a nature bursting with young green leaves and fresh grass, buds, blossoms, and birdsong. I hope the images captured along the way bring you as much joy and hope as they brought me, as well as inspiration for a time when we'll be able to enjoy spring and summer the way we did before.

Stay healthy and well.

  1. Dearest Tai,

    What an uplifting, joyful post! You look like Ms. Spring herself, so radiant and full of life. It is exactly what I needed to remind myself that there is beauty and elegance despite these challenging times.
    Love the necklaces, and no matter that I already have a few, I could not resist the new additions. I am diving into my jewelry and scarves now that I work from home and can play with my outfits more freely.
    Also, an unexpected joy of wearing perfume daily - something I would not do in the office environment.
    Hope all is well with all the Swans and sharing a virtual hug with All.

    Special thanks to MaiTai, for generosity and beauty bring joy and make thoughts lighter and more positive!

    Lastly, I just made a leek an onion quiche! it was delicious and our kitchen smells heavenly still.

    Best wishes,

    Aneta

    1. Dearest Aneta, - so happy you like the post and the new necklaces and hope you are already enjoy wearing yours! Spring has been a surreal experience this year. If it wasn't for the daily walk with the dogs, I think it would have gone entirely past me. Your comment reminded me to make a quiche. The smell and taste is so comforting and there is nothing better than pulling a hot dish out of the oven. Be well and safe. xxx

  4. Dear MaiTai,

    My spirits were lifted after viewing your posts and the comments. I've been taking pictures of nature myself. In particular my knockout rose bush. I love how you have built your inspiration from nature all the color infused but soo very simple. I just love it and I'm happier now for seeing it! Thank you for sharing your creativity it stirs mine up.

  5. Love your scarf collection and styling. Would you recommend a plisse Hermes scarf of a silk twill of the Tourbillon design?
