collections / rain:

I woke up Sunday morning & it was raining. Just a random little rain cloud that passed through, then it cleared up and was sunny the rest of the day. So that's what inspired this post..

I think many of you may know of my deep love of rain. Like, I really love it! It's so soothing & comforting. When I was younger & it would rain, I would open the back hatch of my mom's SUV, get some blankets & books and just sit in the car and enjoy the rain. I know some of you may think I'm crazy and wondering what's wrong with me. But I am sure there are a few of you who are right here with me in loving the rain too ;) Anyone else out there love the rain as much as I do?

    I love rain and I adore these images you've posted! Ths photo of the woman in the rain is priceless. Is that Leighton Meester?

    Jon and I got off work early one day (such a treat!) and opened our window, listened to the pitter patter and couldn't help but take a nap. It was the... most.relaxing.nap.ever!

    there is nothing crazy about enjoying the rain! i love rain, the air right before it comes down and afterwards, the glittering everywhere.

    kissing in the rain is eternal love.

    as a child, i used to open the front door, sat on a chair, my eyes closed, breathing in and out very consciously. inspired me to enjoy being alive and to write short stories and essays.

    The photos you've chosen are perfect. I, too, love love love the rain.

    However, I would really like for it to stop before Saturday, which is graduation day. That would be just fabulous.

    Your blog is awesome!

    I wish I had your love and enthusiasm for rain, it would make where I live (Portland) all the more amazing.

    I do, however, love summer rain, and I really enjoy summer storms. Everything smells much sweeter afterwards.

    Pretty photos! Rain is nice. Seattle rains too much sometimes. =)

    And that black and white photo of the couple kissing with Big Ben in the background is actually snow. The author is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kayodeok/4258335781/in/set-1213575.

    I use that as one of my blog images back in december, here: http://onefinedae.typepad.com/onefinedae/2010/12/index.html

    And the other image of the woman in the gray trench coat is Leighton Meester from the show Gossip Girl. I believe that exact scene was a recreation of the scene from Breakfast at Tiffanys when she was looking for her cat at the very end. Sadly, not sure where the source is...but I assume IMDb would be of help?

    Hope that helps! =)

    I love the rain! My favorite EVER rain kiss is from the note book. I cry at that movie every time even though I've seen it a million times. I am so excited I found your blog today! I look forward to going back and reading older post so I can get to know you better. I would be delighted if you would visit my blog and tell me what you think. I am also having a giveaway that you might like.

    Thank you

    I'm with you on the rain love but it has to be a proper rain shower - none of the miserable drizzle that we get so often here in Ireland. I always open my window wide so that I can listen to it.

    I know exactly how you feel. I love the rain. It's like all the yucky stuff just gets washed away and we have a clean start...and it's pretty...and rain boots and umbrellas are cute...and rainbows come after! :)

    I Loooove rain too, which works out pretty well living in Seattle. Falling asleep to hard rain on the roof is one of my favorite things.

    Sometimes I love the rain. Sometimes I hate it!
    Living in southern california makes me appreciate it since we get so little of it. These past few days of rain have been a nice change!

    I think the reason I love rain so much is that it's perfect excuse to pull on a cardigan an ignore the days to do's + instead, lounge around.

    love the pretty images, too. :)

    I am with you on the rain! I love it too. I grew up in the south and we would have these massive thunder storms in the summer. Wild wind, rain, thunder and I'd be on the front porch curled up in the swing with a book. It was peaceful...and this sounds weird, but I loved the smell of rain and the wet driveways / streets in my neighborhood.

    I don't think you're crazy at all. In fact, I completely Love that you would do that as a kid. I certainly Loved having my own little hiding places that felt totally magical. Soothing rain is the best :)

    Hope you have a wonderful day!

    Its been raining for eleven days straight where I am in New England. A little rain shower may be nice, but try living over a week with no sunlight!

    I love rain, umbrellas, rainboots, all of it! I'm glad you made this post. All the photos are beautiful!

    It was raining yesterday, but my iphone tells me it's going to be sunny for the rest of the week! I think I'm the only one of all my friends/family who is bummed about that! I just bought new rainboots, too! Ha!

    Anyway, I'm going to try to go to BazaarBizarre this weekend and it will be lovely to meet you and be able to finally browse your shop in person! :-)

    I adore the rain when I can watch it from somewhere warm and dry. Being stuck out in it on the other hand is icky.
