such a lovely summery post Helen, I love your sailing boat bag - that cornflower blue colour always makes me think of summer holidays, whitewashed buildings and the sparkling sea... hurry up Summer! hope you're having a lovely day, jenny x
What a beautiful uplifting post Helen, thank you!
I love to collect sea glass too, it's my favourite thing when beach-combing!
I love your blue bag too!
You've made me feel good now! :)

Good Morning Helen, What a lovely splash of summer teasing! I love the way you have organized your garden journal with the dryed floweres, so pretty and really helpful, I'm sure. Great fabric on your summer bag and of course the bright button! Those roses are exquisite, the shade is so cottage perfect. Hope your summer planning goes well. Off to work now, before the next blizzard. Thanks for visiting me always! xoRobin❤
Oh Helen, thank you for such a lovely summery post. So many nice colourful pics.

That's my kind of dreaming, but just a bit of sun and warmth will keep me happy....for a little while.
Enjoy your dreaming.

Are you coming to Cornwall? Hurrah, if so!!! A lovely post helen as always and beautiful pictures. i do love visiting your blog x
Dear Helen, thank you for a lovely summer feeling! What a lovely idea to collect small holiday memories in a jar! And your garden book is wonderful! I enjoy always reading and seeing your beatiful posts!
Summer wishes! Teje
Oh I love how you've preserved a little bit of your holiday in that jam jar! I'm definitely dreaming of summer and days out in the garden. I can hardly wait!
That was as good as a colour post -gave a real lift to the spirits -thank you.

Thank you for the dreamy summery post! I love your bit of a holiday in a jar idea! x
How nice to be reminded of summer. Your photos are always so lovely!
We have lots of snow here today and I am alternating between blog reading and tea drinking and shoveling snow!
Your jar reminds me of the movie with Diane Keaton when she collected a pebble everytime she went to the beach and had a lovely bowl of them on her table. I love your blue bag as well...I can tell you're planning a great summer...wish I was coming too!
I'm so happy to have discovered your lovely blog Helen! The summery images are a perfect tonic to this grey mizzly day.
I love the yellow floral fabric in your last post too, so pretty and summery.

Lovely dreams of summer Helen. We have booked our June holiday...so good to look forward to it!
Sending sunny thoughts,

You and I are very similar, i too have that beautiful print by Julia. it sits on my mantel (currently next to my blue hyacinths in full bloom) and reminds me how wonderful seaside holidays are.
roll on longer days, warmer weather and sunshine!
