A staycation in July 2011
July came in with warm weather, bugs, thunderstorms and long humid evenings! We went sailing on the Charles river and tended our garden. The CBI has new docks on the Charles, just the place to walk about, sail, sun bathe or go for a coffee to Charles Street. Our new mantra is a staycation in July!

I taught a fashion camp along with two wonderful Lexington High School girls as aides, in July for the Lexington Community Education's Lexplorations. Fifteen teenaged girls arrived to spend their day sketching, brainstorming, painting and creating amazing fashion designs and mood boards. We rounded off the week watching inspiring snippets of relevant fashion shows and classic and new movies on the topic! All in all, a very creative week.

We recently finished a bridal project for a wedding at the end of July. My friend Nafees's niece got married in Lexington this week and though the bridal party was from all over the world, the groom's family was from MA. A locavore feast for the eyes and taste buds was creating by finding all the resources close to home. Lovely summer cuisine from Via Lago, cake from Wilson Farms with fresh white roses and calla lilies flown in by our local Costco. The family did the bouquets and floral arrangements themselves. Local DJ and college student Chips spun some great tunes for the globe-trotting hip young things to dance under the white tent at Gore Place farm in Waltham.
