oh my… i’m in love. this 10 things i love sunday, you’ve knocked out of the park! i’m off to dreamland now.
love you.
I’m in love with that chair!
They are rice paper lanters.We have a rice paper lantern festival here every year. They are pretty easy to make too.
I get rice paper bags from my local chinese spice shop and you can also fill them with sand (to weight them down) and put tea lights inside. They look so sweet scattered in your garden at night. 🙂
Love all of this, how cute is that study set up with the map&the books? Love!
My favourite is the Princess and the Pea-photo shoot. Sooo gorgeous!
those are sky lanterns – so much fun!!! we’ve used them a few times before too. enjoy your fondue book xxx
love the ‘Princess and the Pea’ themed photoshoot!! so magical!!
That Princess and the Pea photoshoot is amazing and soooo inspiring. You always pick the most beautiful things to showcase. 🙂
Those are some gorgeous photos! I love, love, love that princess & the pea shoot… it looks like it came out of an Anthropologie catalog.

That princess and the pea shoot is so fun!
so cute! <3<3<3
My momsy-in-law is a true real-life swiss lady, and taught me how to make fondue as the swiss-due: Cheddar and Swiss cheese, dry white wine, kirsch, flour, nutmeg...and stale bread. The idea is that it's what the shepherds would scrape together after a whole season up in the mountains looking after sheep, when all they had left was some cheese, wine, and stale bread. Mine doesn't taste exactly like hers yet (she's not the type of cook to measure precisely) but I'm working on it.
LOVE the princess and the pea shoot! I never liked how my wedding photos turned out (long story) and I would love to do some cute couples photos like this. Sigh...
Cheers!

hi elsie… actually, those are mini hot air ballons.
LOVE the princess and the pea shoot!
:))
LOVE PIC 4 too. This blog is so inspiring. I feel like I want to be in the photos.
The rice paper lantern in the picture is the one that is sold by Uncle Sam’s fireworks (in Arkansas). If you still have some tents open in your area, you might ask around. Many of the different companies have the same suppliers. It is usually called a sky lantern.
Wow! I’m in love with Wildflower Photography! Just checked out their site! Amazing!!
we have those balloons in holland too! we call them wishballoons, you have to write your wish on the balloon, and then you put something on fire, and then the balloon raises up!
they’re really cute, we had them on my b-day!
XO
Hey Elise! Sometimes those lanterns are also called paper hot air balloons or chinese flying lanterns. You need to google image the Loy Krathong festival in Thailand. I went last year and it is one of the most amazing things ive ever seen!! For days the evening sky lights up at night with thousands of these things floating around for as far as you can see….its amazing!
Elise you need to post the recipe for the peanut butter choc fondue
xo
nly problem with this design is it still needs a runway, which makes it unsuitable for use as a real commuter. I have been working on my own design which does not require a runway, as it is helicopter based, using my own rotor blade design.
I like these articles , democratic countries formulate policies are both team and the interests of the people of power, http://www.jerseysky.com , I like the western and northern state policy.

Thanks for the kind words Alice Q. I concur, and therefore, the menu items that were off would not deter my patronage. Thanks for taking the time out to write it! I think spirituality is really important too, we certainly agree on that point. A leader without spirituality is missing a key element.
wow. it is unbelievable. I love it so much . Thanks for your sharing. cool .great. I sure I’ll come back soon.
You are too great a writer man. I am in love with all your articles and wait for them to appear. But, this article of all that you have written until now is my personal favorite. I shall surely have the same article forwarded ahead and spread the information to one and all.
Those are nice 10 things you adore. The dream cars’ design that you’ve just posted is cute though. Thanks for sharing this post, it’s been a while since I’ve read something very lovely.
Well, those really are lovely! I also like the vintage cars; those were my dream wedding cars for our wedding in August. =) And if we never get to have that car, we’ll just use jeep, instead. Pretty cool for a wedding!
Oh, so your dream cars are vintages? That’s a pretty good choice. You have to do the restoration work yourself in some cases, but it’s kind of exciting to rebuild the vehicle and see it shine again in its dreamy state.
