A Few Of My Favorite Things

There are some things in life that make me smile so much my eyes crinkle up. These are some of those things. And I don't worry about crow's feet.

My wedding dress.
It's Maggie Sottero and I got it for FREE. Yep, you read that right. I never thought I'd be one to borrow a wedding dress, but when the one I picked out came in... I didn't love it. So I started searching around and was talking to my co-worker about it. She'd just gotten married a few months before and when I described what I was looking for, her eyes got big and she said I'd just described her gown. I tried it on, it fit, I wore it down the aisle. =)

Gerbera Daisies
They are just such a cheerful flower, don't you think? I love them, they are hardy and they stay bright and pretty despite my black thumb.

Candles.
I love candles. Ask my friends. I have them burning year round, almost every day. True story. I love the ambiance and the fragrance. I usually burn vanilla, but during the holidays I go for pumpkin spice or apple cider. Nothing overpowering, just something to make my nose happy. Sometimes, I'll even just put a pot of water with cinnamon and nutmeg on to simmer and that does the trick nicely, too.

Jack Vettriano Art
I love his work. Period. End of sentence.

S'mores.
I make these more often than I'd like to admit. I get graham crackers, milk chocolate chips (SO much better than semi-sweet, in my opinion) and dab bits of marshmallow on top then brown under the broiler. So good.

A good book.
I love to read. Love is an understatement. I don't watch TV; too much drama. But I could easily settle in with a book or seven and be content for the next 3 days.

Diamonds.
It's shallow, I know. But I do love me some bling. This ring is the one that I'm currently in love with.

Coffeemate.
I have a little coffee with my creamer every morning and I wait all year for the Peppermint Mocha flavor to come out.

Sun rooms.
I just love the light, warmth and coziness of a sun room. I want one.

Thanksgiving.
My favorite holiday of all. The food! The ambiance! The family! Love. It.
