{ Colors : Ecru }

Ecru, you'll tell me, what is it exactly ? Well, according to Wikipedia
"Ecru describes the shade greyish-pale yellow or a light greyish-yellowish brown. It is often used to describe such fabrics as silk and linen in their unbleached state. Ecru comes from the French word écru, which means literally 'raw' or 'unbleached'."
Ecru is not beige, which is itself a very pale yellowish-cream.
Here are some lovely things I find on Etsy in the écru (or linen, natural looking) color.

It's been very hot these days over here, and it's supposed to get even hotter (up to 36°C in the shade, thanks) so we'll be escaping for three days, on Monday till Wednesday. So we've been preparing a bit this short trip yesterday & will this weekend as well. We're going to & will be staying at Mont Aigoual (elevation 1567m / 5141ft), the highest point of the Gard département. It is part of the Massif Central, and it is located within the Cévennes National Park. I hope to see a beautiful flora, that's why I bought a book about it, two days ago. No matter the weather, there'll be things to do, for instance the Weather Observatory Museum, the Arboretum de l'Hort de Dieu, the Abîme de Bramabiau ... to name a few. There is a river there, named very sweetly "Bonheur" (= Happiness).

We were at my inlaws' today, and yesterday was busy shopping for food & doing housework & keeping the boys busy & trying to finish organizing my creative space, so this weekend, we'll be staying home. I'll be around, I suppose ...

Have a delightful weekend ahead, my friends ! Please take good care & thanks for stopping by ! oxoxo
