"It is a wise father that knows his child"~William Shakespeare

Make me the kind of man my Daddy is.
Later that night, the father prayed,
Dear God,
Make me the kind of man
my son wants me to be."

{design inspiration: gracefully gilded}
. . . a little obsessed with the walter lamb armchair -- the original 1940s collection came about as a result of experimentation with bronze and copper tubing salvaged from sunken naval ships, and while the modern version is made of waterproof bronze, it's much too lovely to keep outside . . . and no shelf could possibly be complete without a set of stunning pink quartz and gold bookends -- hardly a more beautiful colour combination and so luxuriously elegant . . .{also:} more gold -- pretty dishes & a coffee table
{p.s.} weekend wishes + links to follow, and still catching up on comments -- thanks so much for the lovely thoughts here xo

. . . and while we're on the topic of sexy summer dresses, peter copping's resort 2011 collection for nina ricci, inspired by jackie onassis and 1960's greece, is pure ultra-feminine gorgeousness, awash in pale and pretty neutrals -- shades of buttercream and blush intermingling with flourishes of ruffles and lace, perfect for early mornings in sunny cafés and late, starlit ferry rides . . .{p.s.} favourite is the sweet sheerest lacy little white dress with a hint of august sunrise beneath -- so lovely!

graduation
2010
My daughter and niece are graduating today-
My daughter from High School
and my niece from Middle School.
June is such an exciting time for students
who are graduating and moving on
to exciting, new horizons.
When my daughter was born,
my father said he hoped he would live long enough
to see her graduate from High School.
Well, he missed it by two years...
but if I know my dad,
he has got
the first and front row
seat in
HEAVEN
for both events!!
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
