August is here!

August... Can you believe it?
I feel like the summer has passed me by... so much has been at stake, I have not had time to plan a vacation this year, and now it's already August....

I dream of beautiful Hydrangea bushes, of a summer day with no humidity in New England...

If you feel like treasure hunting, but can't make it to one of those famous French Brocante's, check out Dreamy Whites ...

This sweet online store has some really pretty items; lavender pillows, wire baskets, zinc watering cans and beautiful Cafe au Lait bowls, as the ones above, filled to the brim with the most beautiful pastel Hydrangeas.

My favorite was the green bowl (first image), unfortunately for me it has already been sold, but the blue one could be yours, just click here. The founder, Maria, also have a blog by the same name, check that out here, it will surely make you want to redecorate with a country/cottage-y flair!

Happy August everyone!

Lavender

I very close friend of mine came to visit the other day, and she NEVER arrives empty handed. She brought with her this large, fragrant lavender plant. (Thank you M.E.!)
It looked so great in this corner, but it took me just under two weeks to kill it.......... yep, that's right, I totally over watered it..... Total bummer, but at least I got a picture ;)

Hope you have a wonderful day,

Pastel love

Yesterday I received the new Coastal Living magazine in the mail. Despite the bright and cheerful cover, this guest bedroom by designer Tim Clarke is what "had me at hello" :) !!

As a Northern Light reader, I am sure you are aware, that I do not often post pastel-y images, not really my thing.... BUT, I LOVE THIS ROOM!   - can't help it....

... and so I figured I would follow it up with an equally pretty powder room...

... and then there was this beautiful image of lavender fragrance and cleaning products, that has been in my file for a little while, now spring cleaning doesn't look so bad, huh?

Hope you have a wonderful day,

Natasha
