A few images for you to enjoy . . . a bit of June in Bahrain through my eyes . . .

looking at rugs is a favorite pastime . . . a rug shop is like a museum in many ways . . . loved this beauty with its pink, raspberry, plum, salmon . . . rich and yet girly, too.

i loved this one as well . . . a sea blue with a unique floral border.

and this one reminds me of a vintage carpet bag . . . love that orangey red with the flashes of aqua.

gotta love the local toy selection . . . are you taking all this in?

the first Tankersley family pet . . . good luck, buddy.

since we don’t really have flowers here, i’ve been loving these tissue paper flowers . . . adding some here and there around the house for color, texture, and a little splash of beauty.

these came in a care package from my mom . . . so cute . . . metal stencils . . . makes me really miss michaels!

for the first time in over twenty years, i am once again the proud owner of a swatch. my original swatch was raspberry scented and much smaller . . . love this updated, oversized version in olive green . . . a fun neutral that goes with everything.

did i mention we now have a four month old in our house! she melts me.

this is what our house looks like just about all the time. “well-loved,” i like to call it. even a cute filter can’t clean this mess up!

Living and loving the beautiful mess the very best I can each and every day.

What’s your favorite memory or slice of beauty from June?
