August Rose

i love that name and this post is filled with so many different treats that i cant sum them all up with one title- better to group it all together as something beautiful, like this name.

each day as i drive to my local beach spot through my favorite little town, old greenwich, i pass this sweet looking vintage furniture store called Design on Putnam and think to myself i must stop there and take photos. actually going inside would to me just be torture. seeing all those wonderful things that i couldn't buy as of course i have no house to home them. but today on my merry way i stopped, and to my delight the inside was even more beautiful then the outside, out the back there was a pile of beautiful junk labeled "free" and low and behold there was even a fun little clothes section to trawl through...








definitely worth the stop...so as i continued on my path i found even more reason to also stop at the ice cream shop that had been recommended to me in Old Greenwich, and once again, very glad. i did get in trouble for taking photos (oops) but i'd still recommend you go there, its very sweet and a lot like a place my best friend vickie and i use to dream of creating when we worked together in an ice cream store over our summers, so i had an added little buzz from this place...




then finally to the beach i went which in one word was perfect. after i headed to my good friend Taylahs place. she has been an important and much appreciated person in my life since moving here to the states and it is her last night living in our neighbourhood :( Her house is beautiful and just one of the many breathtaking beauties in this neighbourhood and since she is now leaving this abode i thought i would take some pictures and maybe more for my mum and dad (and the house stalking ritual that has been engrained on me through them) show you a sneak peak inside one of these magnificent westchester county homes....
