and, picking up where I left off...

Look at this! Came across a fun, cleverly styled photo shoot, one that is also doubling as a couple's engagement location.  A clearly adoring man proposes to his fiancee in a re-created, woodland version of the couple's first date - a local Starbucks.  She: a photographer from Vancouver who often does styled bridal shoots.  He: takes her unknowingly to this secret location of the proposal under the guise of a casual day date, where afterwards she is able to capture all the sweet details herself.
That is some effort.

Oh, and do please ignore the awkwardly spaced pictures. I know there are brilliant ways of creating a gallery of images, I've just never gotten around to doing it. I should put it on my mental 'one-day to-do list'.

And then there's this...

 A lovely and kind nod from a fellow blogger, Cowparsley.  What a charming name, appeals to the small town farming girl in me!  My blog has sat dusty on the shelf for very close to two months now, and I had meant to pick it up and put it to some use, this was just the reminder!

When you are someone who doesn't even win the door prize, you can be tickled pink over something like this!

Here's to a wonderful week!
