These colors creep into my palette no matter what time of year, but nothing feels more summery than navy and white. Sailor suits, magnolia blossoms, blueberries, crisp linen fresh from the clothesline.
- ATOM silver and blue linen pillow cover by Be Still. I saw this shop for the first time over at Jess’s blog, Make-Under My Life. I like it because it looks like a caffeine molecule. It makes us smile.
- White porcelain lotus bowls from Sarah Anntiques. I can picture these full of crisp baby greens and slices of avocado, maybe garnished with violets or nasturtium. I would defy the norm and make fancy salad just because the bowls are pretty.
- Nesting scallop bowls by Element Clay Studio. These aren’t as functional as the others, but the perfect detailing just astounds me! These would look perfect with some floating Evening Air candles for an at-home dinner date.
- Vintage criss-cross cushions from Seesaw Vintage. I happen to think these would be just the right kind of clashing with the ones by Orla Kiely for Target that Adam and I picked up awhile back. Since I won’t splurge to match them, the others the join the table will have to be equally impressive, in their own ways. (Seesaw has a letterpress store, too!)
Summer days are upon us. I can’t believe 2010 is already halfway over! Adam is planning a secret getaway for us–I don’t know anything about it. He’s terribly sweet, and also very good at keeping surprises intact! It’s not for lack of vying for clues on my part, that’s for sure. Something fun to look forward to!

I love the collection! I would love to pull more seafaring colours into my home, but now I just might have to… :)
