April Showers

You know what they say... April showers bring May flowers.  I'm loving these vintage umbrella pics (especially the first one, with Audrey, of course).

I was on my way home last night and the sky was dark and cloudy and tut, tut, it looked like rain.  I doubt we will actually get any rain (the wind is doing a fine job of blowing all those clouds away), but it still reminded me of wet weather that is sure to come.

I mean wet as in those spring showers, not windy, cold, snowy weather like some of you are still having.

So, do you plan on partaking in the floral trend for spring?  If I had my way, that kate spade purse (or any of the others with that pattern) would already be in my closet.  And while I love the J.Crew shorts shown above, the pair I really love are at ZARA.  In the kids' section.  I want them.  I have bought shirts from the kids' section of Zara, but I would definitely need to try on a pair of kid shorts before I tried buying them.  Maybe I'll buy them for the Cat and just live vicariously through her.
Don't forget about the book swap we are co-hosting; my thoughts behind it are
1) I love to read and discover new books,
2) I LOVE getting mail (good mail, that is!), and
3) I would love to connect with some of you out there in blogger land!
I do hope you'll consider joining us!


 And I would like to say that our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the bombings in Boston. xoxo
