Happy Friday….it is definitely feeling like summer around here today!
Starting next week, I am going to begin a summer schedule of posting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays rather than every day…it’s just too pretty to stay inside writing when I can be outside enjoying the pool or beach!

Here are a few things that are on my radar screen from this week….

Romancing the Vespa – I love everything about this post by Jeanne at Collage of Life…don’t we all dream of riding around on a Vespa?

Strawberry Millefeuilles – this recipe from Sharon at My French Country Home looks divine.

A Travelogue of Venice – Mai Tai Collection shared amazing images of her recent trip to Venice…there are ten glorious posts…start here and work your way through them all. While visiting her site, don’t miss the magic she can create with an Hermes scarf!
These two books are definitely ping-ing my radar this week:
Both were released this week…I am halfway through the Beth Hoffman book and I am really loving it (I also loved her first novel, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt). No doubt Sarah Jio‘s book will be finished by the time the weekend is over. If you aren’t familiar with Sarah – all of her books are excellent. I think both of these are perfect beach/pool books! What are you all reading? Do share…I am always looking for new book suggestions!
That’s all for now…I hope the sun is shining and you enjoy the first weekend of June…wherever you may be wandering!

What lovely blogs to visit. The Mai Tai Venice is really beautiful. Our weather is still cold and grey but I will enjoy reading the two books that you recommend anyway. Bon week-end!
Your modified schedule sounds smart..i have cut back too not by choice but necessity, only so many hours in the day and I always say its quality over quantity!!
I look forward to pursuing your recommendations…..and happy to see some new book titles to look into.Enjoy your day and weekend.
PS- Have followed Mai Tais playbook for a while now…love seeing her wonderful outfits and highlights of her amazing European travels. She has great style.
Great post and I need to check these links and follow along. I totally understand your desire to cut back. You can really get involved in this blogging thing to the point that you miss out on other things.
The books look great and I'm planning to purchase a new book so the timing is perfect! Enjoy your weekend. xxL
What a HAPPY POST MY DEAR! All the images are super and make me want to get to VENICE NOW!
I must go visit French Country Home and say BONJOUR! Anita
Very inspiring post – must check out the venice-link, am a huge fan! Happy weekend!
Loving the vespa. I will be cutting back on my postings soon too….summer should be cherished! Happy weekend
Good for you, Sandy. Get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Summer goes by too fast around here. That image of Venice is so beautiful.
I think the Monday Wednesday Friday schedule is perfect! You definitely should enjoy the nice weather!
You are going to love a summer schedule! I found mine so enjoyable last August, that it became my "normal" schedule. And, thank goodness….I haven't been able to get to my desk all weekend until now!
Just finished reading Me Before You. EXCELLENT! And, now am into Dan Brown's Inferno. Love it for the intrigue but also all the history and research he has done on Florence and Dante. Fun read, so far.
Enjoy this beautiful day!

Hello Sandy,
I think your schedule will be excellent! You are so right, there is so much do do outside, especially a good book by the pool.
Both of these books look excellent! Thanks for the new blog. Venice is a favorite place for me, one of my best trips to Italy was 3 weeks with my mom in Italy and we spent a week in Venice and the surrounding islands. We loved it!
Looking forward to more of your suggestions and posts.
I hope you had a fabulous weekend.
Elizabeth
