Spirit Summer! (Part One)

Summer opens up our spirit to a warmer, brighter place and allows us to explore the beauty of the simple details in our lives that bring us fulfillment, joy, and happiness.
It is in honor of Summer that I wanted to present a series of details that are enveloped in a moment of nostalgia from summers past, or the comfort of creating bright summer crafts, or in delighting our taste buds with the fruits of summer goodies.
Over the next several weeks I will share some of the images that bring to the forefront of my memories what Summer means to me and to my spirit!

                                                                 sheets at night…. Ahhhh……
