…as it is here. Il secondo di giugno, as it is in Italy. June two, as it is in the USA.
The second day of Me-Made June 2011.
Please enjoy my autumnal roses in an old coffee-jar from our own garden, pictured below. This is why I am so enjoying my daily washing-up lately, with this to look at. You see, our rose bushes haven’t yet got the memo that it is winter and still think it’s autumn, so are producing their second flush accordingly.
Tres jolie, oui?
And why is it, do you think, you don’t you ever see charming, olde world blooms with this particular brand of random, haphazard loveliness in the florists?

You're right, I need a pair of plum flares! And while I'm at it, those pants and that jacket you've got on too! 😉
Will post pics of the girls' things I've made soon… too tired to think of something witty today… RDO.
Just went to look at your previous post about the top you made from the Japanese pattern book "Unique Clothes Any Way You Like"; this book is now on my wish list! Your flares look so good, perfect for winter.
Particularly enjoying your roses! Our roses are blooming too, even though we are on opposite ends of the earth. Old roses are so pretty.
Beautiful roses, washing up would be less of a chore with these on the windowsill. Love the corduroy jeans and the whole outfit.
I find it strange that you are starting the winter now …. I'm tired of cold, wind and rain and you're tired of heat and sun, probably … not get used, however, love your outfit today.
the roses- vraiment tres jolie! June 2nd looks good, your self made wardrobe seems to have a bit of everything!
It's so much fun seeing your winter wardrobe! Oh,and in the US, we pronounce "June 2" as "June second". Maybe you knew that. I couldn't tell.
Love your outfit. Perhaps you could make Siena a winter jacket or raincoat!
I love this casual outfit. I remember these pants from a trip with your parents. I loved them then too. That jacket is so great.
I am still coveting your purple jeans. I have been looking for purple denim (or any great color) in VAIN.
Oh, and I didn't realize your area had a drought last year, so I wish you much rain!!
Thank you! Claudine, when we lived in the US I heard "June two" (an so on) enough times to know it is pronounced just like that as well!
I like the shades from the red family, your roses blend right in. Perfect autumn outfit! I feel cooler already.
When I was growing up in PA we had wild roses on our fence. They smelled delicious and when they were blooming you could smell our yard from a quarter mile away. But if you picked them they didn't last hardly at all ….
