The little one got a chance to bust out her spring blouse (the one I made back here) when we had a bit of sunshine on the weekend. And those beautiful spring flowers were a gift from my sister-in-law (she also gave the kids a bunch for their own room- such a nice idea!)

Basically this post is a homage to lemon yellow, which is really helping us get through this last blah bit of winter. 

That, and this evocative Super-8 style music video which I imagine to be somewhere near the French Alps- if you're in Europe, maybe your summertime is looking a bit like this?

    yes, the video looks like my childhood holidays in the 70ies in France ! The yellow flowers at the begginning are called millepertuis

    Just read your last post and have to say that I love the velveteen patches on the jeans. :o)
    So glad spring is coming to you! We are finally having a bit of summer weather before autumn comes. So thankful for that because it would have felt like a year long drizzly winter if it hadnt.
    also LOVE yellow xoxo

    Oh Melissa, I’m just reading this now. I got to see The Tallest Man on Earth live about a year ago. . . crazy beautiful. That song has long been my favorite of his, but somehow, I’d never seen the video. Sigh. So gorgeous.

    Stopping by your blog to say thank you for the amazing fabric (Vita) which I ordered from Spoonflower – just got it in the post today. I am so tempted to try my own hand at making patterns. And yours is just so beautiful!! Hope everything is going well with your studies. 🙂

    I wrote a blog post about yellow today – before seeing yours. How deeply weird – must be the Spring air.

    beautiful… I was in the French Alps in early March and Spring hadn’t shown its face yet; everything was still skeletal, crisp, snow-covered, waiting. I can’t wait to return. The blouse is lovely, so is the new header!
