Thoughts? I'm going for a spring/summer look and was thinking to change the colors of the letters for fall/winter. Although in Seattle there's looking to be no difference between the seasons!  I take it back, a gorgeous Friday was had here.

It's almost the wonderful weekend. I don't know about you but I have two days off in a row and it's time to take a nap! Have a cup of tea.

'themed post' idea: Every Week I Fall in Love

This week? I fell for the art work of Sarah Santi aka Yellow Lion on Etsy.

Sarah's work (prints are available in her shop) invokes for me dry summers, bare sculptural landscapes and a kind of feminine Americana. Gorgeous simplicity. Can't you just see these prints in white frames in a sunny room?

In the spirit of summer to come...

the shop is finally coming together

A little note: If you would like to get my "Grand Opening" email (and a special discount code!) when the Raccoon Rain shop goes live, please send an email message to raccoonrain@gmail.com. This should go without saying but I will never ever share your address with anyone and you can unsubscribe from shop updates at any time.

Thanks for all the love and support you've already shown me with this blog and getting my shop ready. A special shout out to Michael for many a photo-shoot, and many a photo-shoot to come.

This process has been incredibly fruitful as a learning experience and a lesson in checking the details twice (says the gal who has to re-order her MOO cards and bought a domain name she no longer needs). Two steps forward, one step back, then a side skip...and we're almost there.











And a bit(e) of summer too. It's not all work and no play.
