"pick your diamond pick your pearl there is beauty in the world...."

its a happy friday! FINALLY.... this week has drug on ( super sad face) & next week is going to be even harder with some unfortunate things happening at work... here's to hoping it doesn't affect me... Although i'm going to try & remain positive & enjoy what life has handed me so far in my life... because let's be honest i'm a pretty lucky girl & have some pretty amazing people in my life.... which i'm so completely thankful for.... & worst comes to worst... i know i'll be ok... i mean i always am :)

so here's to fun times this weekend... it's supposed to be thunderstormy tonight & B is on a 24 hr shift at the fire house tonight ... and i've been feeling out of it... so a low key night at home is what i'll be doing... but i'm more excited for our first spring trip to Boordy Vineyards on Sunday with good friends for their Reds, Whites, & Bluegrass festival.... B loves Bluegrass & i love vino ... so i think its a perfect pairing!

Growing up there was a little amusement park type place called the Enchanted Forest.... it had all these neat creatures & castle's & such all around... it closed down...but most of the pieces were bought by a farm.... i'd love to have this print of the castle to be able to reminisce of the times my grandparents took my sissy & i there...

Nothing is sweeter than some honey.... but i'm all for the natural products.... & this Maryland Wildflower Honey has me drooling....

gorgeous dahlin...

Team Jacob.... but i'll take this...

Just saw on Lovely Little Things that Stephenie Meyer is releasing a new book based on the vampire newborn Bree Tanner from Eclipse (the short second life of bree tanner) which was my absolute favorite book in the series...  I CAN NOT wait.... and i just might have to pre-order my copy from B&N myself...

Synopsis- "Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to its unforgettable conclusion." - B&N
