It’s officially summer and peonies are officially on sale at Trader Joes!

Came across the portfolio site of illustrator, Camilla Perkins today. I love how vibrant and whimsical her work is and I am in such awe that she only graduated from college in 2012! Her subject matter spans portraiture, food, animals plants and everything in between. Take a moment to check out her website and blog at camillaperkins.com.

The library building of the New England College of Optometry is definitely a contender for coolest facade on Beacon Street. Maybe if my college library had looked like this I might have spent a little more time there..

I’ve lapsed a bit with my posting over the past week due to a busy work season and a move to a slightly new neighborhood (about a mile from where we were). Amidst all the frenzy that comes with moving I’ve been trying to make time to literally stop and smell the flowers and take in the beautiful neighborhood where we’ve landed. I’m lucky to once again find myself surrounded by some of the most beautiful homes and gardens in the city. It just so happens that one of my favorite flowers is in bloom at the moment. I couldn’t help but stop and take a few photos of these beautiful peonies as I was heading out this morning.
Lusting after historic homes in Providence, RI.

Spotted in the new neighborhood: the sweetest little al fresco dining space.

Soaking up the sun and all the Americana earlier this weekend on Drake’s Island, Maine.
