The Place I Feel Most At Home.

We barely scratched the surface when we were in Rome.Even though we were surrounded by millions of people who spoke another language, I've never felt more at home in any other place. Italy holds my heart, and I miss it with every breath I have in me. :) Have a wonderful Monday!

Sunday

Just a little photo that made me smile today. I want to know why Josh and I missed out on Laduree when we were in Paris. These macaroons are beautiful, and I am determined to learn how to make something similar. I don't care if I don't like them, they are just pretty to look at! If you want to check out more from Laduree go here part of the excitement of the treats from Laduree is the packaging it comes in. Oh, the packaging is spectacular! Enjoy your Sunday. I'm off to grab my book and some coffee! Au revoir!

A Room I Wish I Had

Do you ever have that feeling of nostalgia that you just can't figure out where it's coming from? Being in a place you've never been before, but feeling drawn to it, like there were memories there, but you know you haven't had them? As soon as I saw this room, I felt something. Cheesy, right? I know. I keep coming back to it in my files, and to the blog that I originally found it from. I don't know what it is about this room. The floor to ceiling book shelves, the colors, or the floor to ceiling windows (I love myself a good set of windows) and I love natural light. Everything about this photo just makes me want to spend the day curled up on that chair with a good book.

I Still Can't Get Enough

Of Kate Powers' work. This pairing might be my favorite two photos from her entire site. I really can't decide though, as I've said, I can't get enough. There's something so fresh about her images, and the clothing? Divine, of course. Everything is pure magic. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I Saw This...

and almost died... Isn't it the most wonderful thing you have ever seen? My heart almost stopped beating when I saw this beautiful chiffon necklace. It's stunning. So if anyone wants to get me an early Christmas present, or even for an anniversary gift, since I already have my gift from Josh. It would be so much appreciated! Anyway, you can take a look at this necklace, and other pieces by Untamed Petals here.

A Quote For Thursday

I wish autumn looked like this in Washington. I do love the rain, but it makes my job so much harder. This photo by Kate Powers is pure magic.

Just a little something to brighten up this gloomy day!
