Sweet Photos

What is better than yummy sweet treats?  Gorgeous photos of yummy sweet treats by Elizabeth Messina!  Well, maybe eating the treats is better, but the photos are a feast for the eyes.  Happy weekend.

Simple Saturday

Weekends are best spent sleeping in with the one you love...

Garden Goodness

I love this series from Elizabeth Messina.  It is beautiful inspiration for a garden wedding:

Simple Saturday

Sometimes I see a single photograph that I just love or am completely inspired by.  In an effort to dislocate my laptop from my lap on the weekends and spend more time having fun with my husband, I am going to start posting one every Saturday in lieu of a full post.  They might be photos a friend has taken, or that I took myself, or that I have found from one of my favorite blogs.  Today I am posting one of my favorite photos from one of my favorite photgraphers.
