Ah, that Villa Santo Sospir article!!!

"As Cocteau explains in 'La Villa Santo Sospir,' a 35-­minute montage film he made of the house in 1952, these were not frescoes but 'tattoos.' Indeed, most of them are simple outlines, rendered in thick black lines. 'It was not necessary to dress up the walls,' he says. 'It was necessary to draw on their skin.'"

Thank you, always, for sharing, Ali!

The! Inspo!! I swear, every time spring comes along, I’m always so in awe (and honestly, pretty shocked lol) to see my seemingly dead trees sprout little buds, then bloom. The process is still so refreshing, year after year. So no!!! Floral for spring is *not* obvious. :) it makes perfect sense every year!

Separately, did you get any good outdoor furniture recs from your last newsletter? I’m trying to furnish our yard and it’s so hard!

I suddenly turn into a nature photographer every March and can’t stop commenting on the development of the trees in my yard lol

And no!! Not really. I went on a deep dive yesterday and didn’t really find anything exciting. Why is patio furniture so hard?!

Summer Classics outdoor furniture is the best for long term but so spendy

Well, I LOVE the new celebrity photo theme! If I never see another celebrity pic without flowers, it will be too soon. ❤️

Up until last Fall, I lived next door to Jeremy Allen White for 5-6 years. Both of our properties were on street to street lots and I never saw a single paparazzi. He is the sweetest, unpretentious, laid back guy ya wanna meet and I find it hard to believe he would do something like that.
