Happy Sunday, everyone! I can't believe how fast summer is slipping away. Just one more week of Opera here in Santa Fe, plus school started Friday and Indian Market is next weekend. Eeek! But, as much as I love my summer dresses and cocktails on patios, not to mention the gorgeous flowers all around town, I'm looking forward to cooler evenings, Halloween, and getting some hygge coziness in the house.
In the meantime, if you'd like to dive into Millicent Rogers and her glam world, I have a discount link for a hard copy. Perfect for end-of-summer reading! You can find it here
And here's a few things to keep us distracted on this hot summer day!!
