Sunday Slowdown




via 1, 2, 3+4
There is something really special about Sundays. It was intended as a day of rest, and I find that it is always the day of the week where I relax the most. It's expected. I remember as a kid the stores were not even open on Sundays. It's as if we all have unwritten permission to sleep late, linger over coffee, putt around outdoors and put our feet up. 

What do you love most about Sundays?

  4. hehe, i'm from germany = still no shops open on sunday :D
    can be pretty annoying and boring, because as it is the day with the most time it would be perfect for some shopping or anything like that. but well in summer there are enough ice scream parlors... that's quite great too :)and in winter you just spent the day with a cup of hot chocolate on your sofa!

  5. That last little outdoor bedroom is amazing! I love that Sunday is always a family day- we all sleep in late and then usually spend the afternoon on some kind of jaunt together...love Sundays!

  15. Gorgeous images...especially that outdoor bedroom. How I would love to lounge in there. We have kind of lazy Sundays. Sleep in a bit, I cook a nice brunch, we take a long walk with our dog and do a little gardening.....nothing that requires a whole lot of energy. Hope you had a lovely Sunday, Debby.

  20. Absolutely beautiful post—so relaxed and lovely... as for Sundays, I like to rest if possible, and if I do not have to work... I really enjoy going for a bike ride and just exploring the city :)
