a few wishes for fall

Last night as I finally submitted my last piece of homework for my construction class (for this week anyway), made hot cocoa and sat down to watch the premier of the second season of Downton Abbey , I promised myself not to get too busy and hurried and miss out on my favorite season of [...]

wednesday loves: only three

I’ve been gathering so many images for an inspiration book assignment that I’m experiencing a bit of an overload. Too many pretty, interesting photos on the internet!

At the very top of today’s Loves is Woody Allen’s  Midnight in Paris. I went to see it Sunday night with my friend Abby and her friend Alyssa and I loved it! I loved every second of the film and it’s such a good one to see in the theater. I’m sold, let’s all move to [...]
