There’s nothing that gets me in the mood to make my house and myself look pretty (well, a girl can try) like a Victoria magazine. I’ve been flipping through some June Victoria magazines this morning and now I am totally in the mood to clean the house from top to bottom, getting every little thing just right, and then I’ll sit down with some herbal tea and just enjoy. (Like I said before, a girl can dream!)
This morning I stepped outside to see if I could catch a bladder campion bloom that was open, and I did! The books say that they only bloom in the evening or overcast weather. I’ll be watching to see if that’s true of my little flowers. The sun is bright at this point and while the bloom is still there, it’s withered on the ends.
Yesterday I was looking for new hairstyles and found a bunch of videos on YouTube that I totally enjoyed! They are by a very lively lady named Torrin. If you want to visit her hair videos, you can go here: Torrin’s Page. Enjoy.
I think the infinity bun turned out great. Since I love using only hairsticks to keep my hair up, this is a perfect and easy style for summer. Keeps you cool, easy to do, looks romantic with wonderful white summer dresses.
Here’s sort of a different view for you. Sorry it’s so dark. My hair is rather dark, so it’s sometimes hard to get a picture that shows detail.
As far as summering up the wardrobe, I tried to talk myself into staying away from “GW Boutique” for awhile, but it was calling loudly to me and I found a ton of lovely summer things this week, including a new white summer dress for about $4.00. (“New” is a matter of opinion.) 
Here’s a little closer-up view, so that maybe you can see some detail of the dress. It’s a twirly fun dress that zips of the back, so it fits nicely and looks sweet, if I do say so myself.
I must get busy doing my Victorian-esque cleaning and dressing-up fun today.
Enjoy this day.

Oh so lovely Lynn…I really love the look…
Can you do me a favor…send some of your nice summery weather our way??? It has been cold and rainy lately and we would love even sneak peeks of Spring…we had a little over everything yesterday….pouring rain, thunder and lightning, hail, sunbreaks and I heard even a funnel cloud…not my idea of a good time and my poor little tomatoes are shuddering from the beating they got….poor little things…

Thanks, Carrie! It is so hot here today! Ewww. I mean, I am thankful for a bright and pretty day, but you can be outside for just a few minutes and you’re sweaty. :p I would love to send some sun and some heat your way.
I hope your tomatoes are okay!
Dear Lynn,
What loveliness, indeed! Alas, my Victorias are all packed away, or I would join you for some June-time bliss
. The dress was a great find; it was meant just for you. The hairstyle looks gorgeous on you, too. I’ll have to check out the videos when little Button Nose is snoozing.
The bladder campions are very pretty, and a special souvenir of a special time. We have some campions that are white, but are on a bigger bush. I’ll have to save you some seeds if we’re still here when they’re ready!
Love,
Marqueta
I’m having baby bunny withdrawals
Lynn,
I think you should know that you have inspired me to grow my hair back out! Your hair is do beautiful and natural and romantic! You “summer-up” quite nicely! I was thinking of you today as we are in SC! Blessings to you! Oh, and thank you for sharing the bladder campion! It is so stunning!
What lovely hair! I need to try something different than just putting it up in a clip.
Marqueta, when you do get Becky Button Nose asleep for a little nap, I think you would enjoy the hairstyles! They are so easy once you see them done. I’ll send you some of my campion seed.
Carol, there are now bunny pictures! I’d been thinking I needed to put some new pictures up.
Marla, thank you for your kind comment. Lately I’d been in a “hair rut” or at least felt like I was, so it was good to find the videos and do something fresh!
MamaHen, thanks! I’d been thinking the same thing about myself!
