Summer's Here!

Sorry for the long absence, but work's been crazy, and as the title says, summer is here in NC! With a vengeance, I might add...it's been in the upper 90s/low 100s and just killer hot here. I wonder, where does that brief two-week window of spring go? Can't complain though, summer means the lake and the beach and lots of vacations!

Anyway, I've just returned from my trip to Paris and Rome, and it was fantastic! Expect a post later this week full of pictures and commentary. I'm definitely going to have to break it up because we crammed a lot into seven short days, two of which were spent traveling. I can't wait to go back, but it is always good to get home!

In other news, Diana of Simple Elegance is having a contest! Just leave a comment on her blog by midnight, July 4th and you'll be entered to win an awesome blue silk scarf! After my trip to Europe, I've been buying and drooling over every scarf I see...especially the bright ones!

Here's a preview, with more to come!
