Happy Friday! It’s been hot + humid here this week, so much so that my sunglasses fog up when I go outside. Time to slow down and think about water: living near it, drinking it, the cooling sensation of rain ….

On with the Five:

  1. one of my faves
  2. Finnish summer
  3. shells from maine
  4. Fogy details
  5. untitled

Don’t you just want to head out to the nearest waterfront right now? I do. Have a splendid weekend.

vintage kennel club

Pleased as punch to have discovered letterpress artist Elizabeth Hubbell is blogging! (and at Facebook) I’ve been a fan of Elizabeth’s work forever, and it’s so wonderful to get a peek at what’s new, as well as get to “know” her a bit. She’s vacationing in the south of France right now, and her watercolor dispatches are a particular delight.
