That is right!  In just a few short days I’m off to paradise.

I’m going home to Hawaii, to see my parents and sisters, to relax in the sun on the beach, to eat mangoes and raw fish and the best vegetables in the world.

Walking Irises. In Hawaii, even the rain is picturesque.

I’m so excited.

Unfortunately, Mr Dreamy is too busy and important to come with me.

Boo.

Pineapples on my parent's farm

The good news for you is that, even though the internet connection at my parents house will move at the rate of BP’s quick fixes, the blog is all set up to tick over without me.  Over the next couple of weeks there will be stories about textiles, Rate the Dress’s as usual, a few write ups on my wedding dress, and lots of other fun randomness.

And when I come back I will be thawed out and bronzed up, with lots of new photos and stories.

Mmmm...beaches, and palm trees...
