Friday Find–September 2

O.M.G.  How did it get to be September?  Wasn’t it May last week?  I’m not ready for September, I haven’t done everything I wanted to do, haven’t gone everywhere I wanted to go, haven’t seen everyone I wanted to see.  I’M NOT READY!!!!

In a vain attempt to hold onto summer, here’s a glimpse of the summer that I dream of:

After a week of antiquing in Paris, perhaps at Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clignancourt, which is the largest flea market in the world:

I would spend a week sailing the Mediterranean:

Do some scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef:

Spend some time  “volunteering” as a wine taster at a vineyard in Italy:

Hike my way through the Scottish Highlands:

Head out on a road trip through the Canadian Rockies:

And once I’m back home, spend a week with all of my family and friends at a huge summer home to celebrate the summer:

Hey … I think I just wrote my Bucket List!  Can you imagine doing all that in one summer?

I hope you had a fantastic summer and that you finish it off in style this weekend!!

  3. Ooooh, I want a summer like yours - it all looks & sounds fabulous!

    My summer has been nowhere near as exhilarating, but I can't complain. I spent more time at the cottage this summer than usual, and it's been great. Swimming, kayaking, reading good books (check out A Dog's Purpose), long walks with the dogs.... if I could have just figured out a way to wipe out the entire deer fly population, it would have been perfect!

    Have a great long weekend - enjoy every last second of summer :-)
