Blossom Hunting & an Early Summer Knit Fit

Around here, the Victoria Day long weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer.  Happily, the weather today was magnificently summer-like, which caused many of the trees to finally blossom.  To celebrate the harbingers of summer, the mister and I drove to the beautiful town of Dundas to hunt down some photogenic places with blooms nearby.  Being one who always loves an excuse for dress-up, I donned a top to toe 30s look directly inspired by my beloved knitting and crocheting pattern book ladies (hat is 30s crochet, top is 30s knit [with what I think is also crochet--or lacy knit?], skirt is 30s linen, shoes 30s leather hehe)!  Hurrah for summer! Hurrah for knitwear! Hurrah for outdoor outfit photos!
