Good morning! I have heaps to share with you this morning!

First off, I have a guest post to share with you over at the ever enchanting Design Lovely, and I have to implore you, if you haven’t seen all of Rachel’s gorgeous wedding and honeymoon pictures, you need to. You’ll feel so inspired, I guarantee it! Thank you, darling Rachel!

Second, P.S. Erin (such a charming blog) taged me in a game of “meme” this week!

Rules of the meme: Respond and rework on your own blog. Replace one question and add one question. Pass it on.

1. My current obsession: Whimsy & Spice Earl Grey sandwich cookies

2. One item from my wardrobe I wear most often: Chacos

3. The last thing I bought: Fancy schmancy paper

4. I’m listening to: Libera

5. Any Pets? Why or why not: My parents have to siberian huskies, does that count?

6. My favorite holiday spot: Petoskey

7. 4 words to describe me: Youthful, curly-haired, spritely, otter

8. Guilty Pleasure: *whispers* I love being n’ked

9. The best thing I’ve had to eat or drink lately: Curry madras hot chocolate

10. Favorite film: Pursuasion

11. Favorite song: Adagio for Strings

12. Favorite Flower: Lily of the Valley

13. Who makes me laugh: Gob from Arrested Development

15. First sign of spring: When the air smells like worms--and don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m talking about

I’m going to pass this lovely tag onto these beautiful ladies: Scissors Paper Glue, Reading my Tea Leaves, and Wunderbug.

And thirdly, if you’ve made it thus far, I was given a Kreative Blogger award from the ever-delightful Down and Out Chic! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m going to pass this onto some new sources of inspiration and delight: oh hello friend, old sweet song and two brunettes!

Have a wonderful weekend you guys!

XOXO

I LOVE lilies of the valley!! I'm trying to find some to put in my garden. And Arrested Development is pretty much the funniest thing to ever exist!

Gob from Arrested Development is hilarious! The episode where Gob, Michael and Buster were all supposed to ride in the stair car, but Gob didn't want to ride with Buster's stump (missing hand) just kills me!

Oh and I loved the rest of you blog, too. Just had to throw out a little Arrested Development love! :)
