. . . and it has been a beautiful, eventful summer so far [hope it has been lovely, lovely for you as well], and with all that has happened lately, it is not the least bit surprising to come upon the realisation that we have already arrived at August . . . And in the mad throes of a few major projects, [some that began over a year or more ago], everything feels as if it were happening all at once, and yet, these late-summer days seem to come with a perfect stillness that compells one to pause, even if only for a few moments, to dream and breathe the heavy August air, to spend stolen bits of time, chocolate éclair picnics in the garden, to catch a glimpse of roses climbing trellises and the way light falls on cut crystal and gilded flatware . . . And so, here too, a few moments of pause to reflect on the months passed, and to tell you of the wonderful things happening around here lately . . .

site news & updates : recently at {this is glamorous}

First off, a fondest farewell to Sarah, who has written the beautiful {take me away} series for the past year.  She and her mother, as you may know, have opened a charming children’s boutique in Vancouver, which has been keeping them quite busy.  She will, of course, be available to attend events on the west coast on behalf of {this is glamorous}, and will also be contributing special guest posts from time to time.  We have also recently collaborated on a fun giveaway from her boutique, to be announced in the coming weeks . . .

and there are THINGS TO CELEBRATE

And in other news, as you know, our home was featured on design*sponge recently [more here], and just came across these lovely posts by Nancy at Marcus Design and Cool Chic Style Fashion — thank you!, and to everyone else, as well, for all the thoughtful comments, emails, pins, tweets, and notes — you’re so very lovely.  Immediately after the design*sponge piece, were inundated with emails from websites & magazines interested in featuring our place, creating a little mayhem and much excitement around here lately.
