seize the day


tea-plantation, originally uploaded by wood & wool stool.

This time of year I pick all the flowers from the garden of Villa Augustus on my weekly 'flowerday'.

There is so much in bloom in the garden right now and it's not necessary to get flowers at the flower auction.

It's a little party to take the pruning shears and walk through the garden to pick flowers legally. Sometimes I see people watching from the terrace with a glance and hear them think; is that allowed?

August is the name, because it's the best harvest month and if you plan to ever visit Villa Augustus, this is the moment!

    Such a beautiful photograph. I really love your blog, Ingrid - so fresh and pretty and inviting. Since first seeing your beautiful home on Apartment Therapy earlier in the year, I have been dedicating myself to freshening up my own home - I've repainted so much furniture white! It's much more clutter-free now, and a large part of that is thanks to you. Now I look forward to your blog updates too :)

    Have a great weekend
