Summmeeerrrrrttttiiiimmmeeee! Ahhh. I was watering the plants in our backyard last night, and really feeling the summer air. I realized that this is the season where I’m most inspired. In the winter, life is cozy … but summertime really sparks something in my heart: it’s a time to grow, create, live loudly! As I was going through my reader & Pinterest today, these summery things caught my eye. Enjoy!

1 // I love this colorful nook. As I get ready to decorate my new studio space, I am looking for bright inspiration just like this.

2 // These bracelets a great. I don’t love jewelry (well, bulky jewelry), but I love that these are delicate with a pop of color // $22

3 // When John Jenkins posted this image of the beach, I knew I needed it for my home. With his permission, we’ll be hanging it in the new space. It reminds me of summer, and I love it!

4 // I discovered Moorea Seal this week, and man, what a great little curated space. This Poppy Study print by Jessica Rose is so lovely. // $70

5 // Something about this little illustration made me smile. With all of these big changes in our life, it’s a reminder to truly soak in each day.

6 // This does not fall into the gluten-free or vegan realm of my food world, but Jessica over at How Sweet It Is shared a few of her favorite summer recipes. Mmmm, it’s berry season in Oregon, and I want that sandwich!
