I only heard about this show a few weeks ago, and in that time I’ve managed to watch all of Season One and catch up on the currently airing Season Two.

I’m a huge fan of period pieces. Particularly being over the moon about Pride & Prejudice (the book, the BBC mini series, the 2005 movie). And Downton Abbey is exquisite. Just the clothes alone are to die for. Swoonworthy regal elegance. I love watching this show while I edit weddings especially. It puts me such a romantic frame of mind.

Now hand me a cup of tea and I’m good to go.

You can catch this series on PBS Masterpiece. Watch it, love it. Go buy yourself a hat afterward.

I think life is too short not to indulge in the little things that capture your fancy.

A few months back, my parents asked me to finally pack up all the stuff in my childhood bedroom and tuck it away for storage. This was a strangely traumatic experience, and I won't get into that. But I did find wedged under my mattress my high school diary. Now that was interesting to read through.

But that discovery did spur me to find a new journal. And hopefully one that I would actually stick with past the first few weeks or so. When I saw this beautiful little journal, I immediately thought, “oh, it’s like twitter in paper form! I can do that.” So here’s to boiling down the essence of a day into 2-3 sentences for the next 5 years.

And that crown? That lovely little thing. I’ve been searching for it ever since a client mentioned last year that such crowns could be found at a Napa winery. But which one? I finally stumbled upon it at the gorgeous Castello di Amorosa and I’m in love with it. Just looking at it perched on my bookcase is like a small dose of romanticism. Which I think everyone needs in their day-to-day lives.

I love doing smaller weddings because they’re so heartfelt and intimate. And Anna and Chris were so amazingly laid back and relaxed on their wedding day. Nothing but smiles.

I’m sure many of my fellow crafters, bloggers, and photographers have already become addicted to this site and with good reason too. It’s brilliant. I’m a total mess when it comes to keeping track of all my desktop folders and firefox bookmarks. And it drives me up the wall when I see something lovely on a site and then completely forget which site I saw it on. Which then leads to me furiously digging through my browser history for hours, trying to figure it all out.

So just the concept of a website that could single-handedly keep track of all the little bits and pieces of the internet sounded fantastic to me. I quickly got myself an invite and have been pinning away to my heart’s content. I’ve been spending waaay too many hours pinning recipes, crafting ideas, places I want to visit, and wish lists of things I want to get my hands on.

Also have a board on their with ideas for my own future wedding. Never too early to start planning, right?

Such a super useful tool for keeping track of various ideas, wants, and inspiration, with links back to the original content, and laid out beautifully for you to pore over.

If anyone wants an invite to try out Pinterest, just leave a comment! And if you want to follow my pins/boards, you can catch me here: http://pinterest.com/hannahsuh/
