Countless Joys of Summer

When the Mercury begins to rise,

it is as if an internal signal goes off…

reminding me
that it is the time to toss off my shoes,

and RELAX
in the countless Joys of Summer!

That means,
in decorating terms, that it is time to swap out
the heavy drapes for gossamer white flowing sheers
that will float away effortlessly
in the cooling breeze.

I love to throw the windows open

in the mornings,

reversing the ceiling fans,

and

drawing in the cool,

fresh air of summer.

.
It is also time to exchange the
collections to feature more easygoing,
lighthearted ones.

I happen to prefer Seashells.In my early decorating years,
I used Cherubs to decorate in Summertime.Just use what you collect,
or
think of what makes you
happiest.In Summer,
you will want
a lighter colored theme,
and the more glass-like,
the better.

Of course,
My Bliss is
Blue and White.

I scatter clippings of plants
in vases and pots… all about. I have read that green plants are
universally neutral,
and have found this to be true.
