new summer dresses

A couple of new handmade dresses added to the shop this week. I think I was inspired by all the wildflowers growing on the slope in our backyard. Tonight husband and I sat outside on a blanket as the sun set and the flowers smelled so delicious! I love summertime.

happy day

My birthday was lovely. We put the baby to bed and husband took me out to dinner at Pizzeria 712. If you're local and haven't been there, run, don't walk. Then we went to the theater to see Star Trek which I enjoyed. It got out so late that by the time we got home I wasn't even thinking about the banana cream pie he had made for me earlier (I don't care for birthday cake). But husband wanted to make sure I got my birthday wish, so he surprised me by bringing the pie up to our bedroom with candles lit, singing to me. It was very sweet. He is the best, I loooove him!
