"I have only to break into the tightness of a strawberry, and I see summer — its dust and lowering skies." - Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eyes

Today marks the summer solstice, the longest day of the year and the official start of summer. This day brings forth images of fairy rings, a basket brimming with wildflowers, afternoon picnics, evening bonfires, and a whiff of magic. What better day to announce our summer pick for ‘Seasons by the Book’!

Shell (@booksbythecup) and I would love for you to join us, as we read, ‘Summer’ by Edith Wharton. We’ll be reading at a leisurely pace
throughout the month of July, with check-ins midway through and a final discussion at the end of the month. If you’re interested, grab a copy of the book, and we’ll see you next month! ☀️
I planned lots of reading for my time in New York, but since arriving a couple of weeks ago, I've been so busy I've barely picked up a book at all. However, I've got a great list of NY inspired reads for when I get back to London and resume my usual routine. Isn't this edition of Edith Wharton's New York novels stunning? Have a lovely start to the weekend, everyone!

“Do you remember what you said to me once? That you could help me only by loving me? Well you did love me for a moment; and it helped me. It has always helped me.” ― Edith Wharton quote from her book The House of Mirth.

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” -Edith Wharton
I am just the mirror that reflect the beauty of animal kingdom! Painting in progress

The perfect spring day calls for a visit to one of the perfect American country houses: Edith Wharton’s delightful home, the Mount. I was happy to bring along our Parisian guest and friend of @classicist_org, @vgoux, who has been delighted with his weekend discovering the historic homes of the Hudson River Valley, and now of Massachusetts as well. Inside and out, this home is a masterpiece and a must-visit!

The Mount is a truly great house, but would be so much less without its surrounding grounds. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to explore the landscape, greenhouse, and restored coach house - the beautiful light and gorgeous weather positively brought everything to life! Once again, I am glad to have had the chance to show @vgoux a bit of the best of American country life, along with @classicist_org friends @klismosgallery and @dylanhallnyc.
