Easy like Sunday Morning

The hubs and I had a very relaxing and quiet weekend. I just love when the cold weather sets in and the temperature is just right for snuggles and cozy blankets, don't you?  Sometimes on days like these I just want to keep things simple and skip right over the chore of cooking up a weekend breakfast.  This morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast that was as easy as could be - a warm buttery croissant with sweet strawberry preserves, hot coffee, and a crsip glass of apple cider. How do you get your easy Sunday mornings going?  

Country living

Mike and I spend a great deal of time on the south shore of Massachusetts visiting family and friends,  and we're actually thinking of leaving city life for a slower paced one out there soon , hopefully by the coast!   In his home town there is a pretty little horse farm that I just love and I snapped a picture last time we were near by. It's the little things like this that make the idea of leaving the city so much sweeter.  

 

Lady's Lace

One of the many perks of being a floral designer is the leftover blooms that I get to enjoy around my house.  I  was delighted to find that this Queen Anne's Lace has been lingering on my dining table for nearly two weeks. I'm happy to have her as long as she stays.  

Antique Romance Inspiration Shoot

Earlier this month I had the chance to collaborate with Taslim from Bring to Light Photography to put together an antique inspired styled shoot that was featured today on Ruffled!  I'm lucky to say that not only was she my super talented partner in pulling  this off, but she is also a dear friend! Funnily enough, she happened to grow up in the same small town that I did, but moved away at the age of 10 before our paths had the chance to cross.  Later in life fate brought us together in College, and I truly believe that we were meant to find each other.  The world is funny like that.

 

We share a similar love for collecting antiques and our inspiration came from that shared love and this beautiful time of year while the warmth of summer fades and the leaves begin to turn.  And so, after lots of brainstorming and elbow grease our antique inspired shoot was born.  Jump over to Ruffled to see the rest of the photo's from this dreamy early Fall session!
