5 things I love right now

This is my best friends' little sister's blog.  She is hilarious, and an amazing writer.  This latest post cracked me up.  Read this if you need a little young love/first kiss anecdote to finish off your St. Valentines holiday.

This movie was a library find.  I had low expectations and watched it on a whim, and I was happily surprised by it. (Plus Skeet Ulrich is very hansom and sweet)

I am a sucker for a good costume drama, and the BBC has put out a couple lately that I love. This one is called Lark Rise to Candleford. It is beautifully filmed and it has a lovely cast, and lovely costumes. I think Lark Rise to Candleford is kind of a mix between Anne of Green Gables and Jane Austen.  For more information click here.

The second one, a little more scandalous than Lark rise is called Downton Abby. It is a little less country and a little more beau monde. Masterpiece Theater just finished a series of this lovely show. Included in it's cast is Dame Maggie Smith, which makes it a winner in my eye, not to mention the cloths are to die for. It has been out in the UK for a while so you can  buy the series at Costco for cheap, or watch for free, and learn more about it here.

This was not love at first bite.  I was a little iffy to say the least, it was much sweeter and less salty than the canned stuff I was used to. After a few bites though, my mind was changed forever. This soup with change your life.

Isn't this paper airplane necklace adorable? I want one. You can find it here at MxM Jewelry on Etsy. There are also some really cute and innovative windmill earring that I am smitten with.
