Good morning all.
I hope you are all well and not melting in this hot weather.

Oh Nic... this is so beautiful... I love everything about it - particularly the vintage image. So sorry I have been missing from your comments this week.. I have had a nasty virus that has laid me low so I've had to take a step back. Will be back to normal soon I hope.

Thanks for sharing with In The Pink this time.. Good luck!
