Thursday was a lovely day for me. The shoot I had that morning was postponed until the next day due to rain. I decided to head into town anyway and check out a few things. I'm a rare caffeine drinker, but this particular morning I treated myself to a Paris tea and blueberry scone. For those unfamiliar with Paris tea, I've been told its taste is similar to a Monk's blend. With my creamy, sweet blend in hand, I ventured into this lovely city. The images you see above are from a stop at a favourite antique shop. Years ago I was big into auctions and the occasional antique shop, but eventually the desire petered out until recently. After being at the family cottage I realized I wanted a side table reminiscent of the one that's there. The guy who runs the shop is great for getting into conversations about the history of pieces. I spied the bowl above, (I seem to be a collector of bowls) for an incredible price, so I snatched it up immediately. You can't tell from the image, but it has wonderful age to it. For reasons I don't recall I've had it in my head that I wanted bone handled silverware. I wasn't sure where I would find it until lo and behold the girls in the first image wagged their tails at me from a basket sitting on the floor. Happily, they came home with me too.
From early evening onward I spent a very lovely evening with a buddy on the island. We made a yummy meal, walked into the woods looking for her horse, biked to a swim hole and swam all the while admiring the incredible light on the expansive fields and sky above. To say it felt precious is not an overstatement. I biked home that night feeling incredibly lucky to share in this beautiful evening within this unique setting.
p.s. I added two new images to my website if you care to take a peek. They are the last images in galleries "big kids" and "family". I'm experimenting with new editing techniques that I'm really digging. Hope you like it too!
