up one side and down the other

hi guys! it’s been a whirlwind summer and truth be known, i’m slightly exhausted and am only now going through the pics i just couldn’t bear to deal with while on the road. you bloggers know what i’m talking about. it’s all fun and games taking the shots but editing, resizing, balancing, cropping, and sorting can take all the joy out of it!

so tonite’s the night. my new goal is to do things in real time cause it’s just not the same when you wait, you know?

anyway, going thru it all i remember how much i love californians who let the ÜbeR foliage grow wild even when it’s trimmed.

totally random non sequitor but in san fran i thought it would be fun to start sending stuff from paris to different collectives, starting with this one, past perfect.

they have two locations and happen to have a space available.

actually the shopping there was amazing, with everything from lighting to big furniture.

this is the space they have open:

so changing gears, cause i could stay on cali for another 10 posts but the weekend took us back across the country to a weekend wedding in lake george. i’ve never spent time there but it was an another incredible hotel and the wedding was of course spectacular.

and i have to give them props for the foliage at the sagamore hotel

and though i couldn’t capture the beauty of the centerpeices, they used champagne grapes tucked in with the flowers and it was absolutment charmant!

on the way out i had to stop by the villa marie antoinette antique shop but it was closed.

still there was enough eye candy to amuse me and the staggering beauty of the architecture in our very own country never ceases to amaze me. there’s  much to see and do. what a world!

we took the long way home and stopped at little towns along the way like saratoga and  woodstock which were as pretty as anything we’d seen yet.

but i have to draw the line somewhere and just say ‘when’! besides i don’t need to bore you with my vacation shots but do want to remember these last couple weeks. it seems like a recurring theme to make sure the memories don’t get stuffed in a folder along with the pics and i’m grateful for blogging to give me that incentive to do more than just let the days pass by. hope you’re having a great summer and making memories you’ll always remember too. have a fabulous weekend!
