~ an afternoon adventure.

for some time now i have been smitten


by glorious gardens


which are hidden in alleyways


& have billowing greenery flowing from crumbling concrete steps...


probably the most fitting description of my experience{this past Saturday} of visiting the Finders Keepers markets...


little girls in vibrant tutus kneeling near crocheted toadstools,


an array of carefully crafted treasures & vintage handmade wares


exquisite creamy ceramics & finally meeting this Kind-hearted Lovely{i now aspire to fill my fridge with ceramic floral magnets!!!}


wishing i had just 10 more dollars because of this pastel paradise{such unexpected loveliness}, & being utterly enchanted by this stunning stall


...a general feeling of flourishing loveliness!!!

some days i lose myself...
&
some days i find myself...
&
some days i realize i wasn't really lost at all...
&
some days, i want to get lost in it all over again!!!
