Summer is making a (brief) comeback here in Antwerp. On a hot day like today I wish I lived in a beautiful, cool house with shutters. I love these images above; they feature in my day-dreams where I always seem to be living in Italy or France. I'd pick up some wonderfully fresh vegetables at the local market and cook up a storm, invite some friends over and spend a long, leisurely evening in the garden. Just one long table and lots of laughter and wonderful conversations. Bliss.

Nice dream! :) :) I got some similar ones, in which I'm an artist somewhere in Toscana or Provence... :D
i love the ironworks! They call to my mind Eva Zeisel's 'On Design'... the chapter where she's talking about variety.

@ Agnes: I love the ironwork too! I was actually planning to do a post on that in the near future.
Thank you so much for the reference to Zeisel. I had not heard of her before, but I just did a quick-google and she looks like someone worth investigating a little more! And she's Hungarian!!! :-)

@ Flo, thank you for your lovely comment. I do have to emphasize though that neiter photo was taken by me. For the first one, there is a link to the photographer's flickr stream if you click 'here'.

The shutters are beautiful, but that glorious wrought iron lace has me quite besotted. In both images, but especially the balcony in the second picture. So very daintily elegant!
got the mail E. it made me smile too... : )
