{week in review & summer necessities}

I'm planning a restful, restorative weekend for myself as a reward for working hard over the last few days.  I have been cleaning out closets, cabinets, and drawers, deciding which items are more clutterful than useful : )  A charity pick-up is scheduled for tomorrow to cart away everything that needs to go.  I also did some caulking in the bathroom, hand-washing of delicates (I actually love washing delicates by hand!), and a bunch of other home-keeping chores.

On Tuesdays we've been going to the summer Art House movie series and this week we saw A Separation - it was so good!  If you are interested in foreign films this would definitely be a great one to watch.

I've also been making a list of necessities for the summer weather.  I love this sunscreen, this swimsuit, and these comfy French shoes.  I have my eye on this Italian summer scarf and these colorful sunglasses, too!
