San Francisco travels
We’re back. We ate too much, saw some amazing sights and shopped till we dropped. A good holiday in my opinion! I have much to share and even more photographs to add but my camera phone needs some serious editing time first. In the meantime I wish you a happy weekend and look forward to…

Whether you’re decorating or picking out an outfit, these colour combinations look pretty darn good! Original image source unknown – if you know please do let me know.
