Botanica

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.

One thing I am positively sure of when I have my own house, I am determined to have a garden. Whether big or small, I do not care. I just want to master the art of the green thumb and wake up to this in my back yard every summer morning. Speaking of houses, my husband and I just bought one. It's our first and our very own. I couldn't be more excited and feel more blessed.

Anything you darlings would like to master the art of?

Happy Monday my dears!

Love,
at

    Congrats on buying a house! Wow, that's exciting! And here I am excited about renting my own first apartment(with my bf). Up til now I've always lived with lots of other people...

    You look so lovely. The socks are amazing!

    Congrats to you and your hubby on buying a home :)

    I'm not sure if there is anything besides painting that I would like to master. This is so random, but I have always wanted to be good at making those little origami animals and things. I was never good at it!

    PS. Your socks are too cute!

    Such beautiful scenery! I love your darling hat and whimsical socks. My grandmother has a huge garden on their farm that she tends to all by herself-and she's 70 years young! I hope to be like her as I grow older :)

    Your hat is so lovely! Did it come just that way or did you decorate it yourself? And the socks+wedges are adorable!

    These photos are so dreamy... Almost like you're in a secret garden. I'm just crazy over your outfit: it's really beyond darling! Boater hats and sandals with socks, and little vintage dresses always seem to go perfectly together <3

    I love your sandals with those socks! <3 Adorable!

    I would love to have a garden, but, unfortunately, I have no green thumb! My great great grandfather could "stick a stick in the ground and make it grow" but I can't even keep normal plants alive. I am determined to learn how to someday, though. :D
