a lazy saturday...

I really loved the light coming in my bedroom this morning, so I decided to take a few more photos of my orchids. They really brighten everything up... so pretty!
 It is always nice to have a Saturday without any plans!

inspired by: regency fashion...

One of the my favorite things about watching all the Jane Austen movie adaptations is to see all of the beautiful Regency-style costumes! I love the dresses from Pride & Prejudice, like in this photo...

Well, here are some beautiful items from ModCloth that seem to be inspired by the fashions of Jane Austen's day. The colors seem so fitting & I love the empire waists. The details are so pretty... the pleating, ruffles, & lace! What a beautiful collection & all of these would be so perfect for spring!

6.  The craziest thing that ever happened to me while traveling is    HA! Well, I have had several crazy things happen in Mexico... The driving over there is so scary!! Once, while in Cancun, we saw a completely destroyed car in the median, staged to look like a really bad accident scene. They even had a fake body hanging out the window. Yes, It freaked me out!

inspired by: Mignon Kitchen Co.

 I recently discovered a beautiful shop called Mignon Kitchen Co. created by Rachel Ball!
I love what this shop says about itself:
"Mignon Kitchen Co. was created out of a love for making and sharing food. 
The shop carries a selection of curated goods for prepping, baking, serving, 
and sharing food... " 

As someone who loves to bake & take photos, I found the photography of their products to be so beautiful! They have everything from brazilian sea salt & orange blossom honey to pretty packaging & kitchen tools! These shots have definitely inspired me... So pretty!
They also have a cute little page with tips & tricks for happier baking! 
:)


P.S.
to win a photo print from my shop!!
