yesterday was officially the first day of summer and there is definitely golden summer themes going on in the garage this week to match the yellow daisies and hot pink holly hocks coming out in the garden.  a friend sent me some cute hardly worn white and 'lemon delicious' baby clothes as well as some lovely  white 'next' newborn packs to sell on.
