this is a bit old, but still lovely. a family in germany has been collecting eggs & decorating their tree for decades - stunning! 


why i heart the queen



not too long ago, her majesty was attending a function honoring seniors at a local county hall. in the next room, a couple were getting married - she decided to pop by and offer her congratulations. love.

happy thappy!


i'll be across the pond celebrating the anti-thanksgiving, but have a great turkey day nonetheless!

phew!


by my calculations, i'll be tacking on another 11,000 air miles over the next two weeks. JFK-LHR-ORK-DUB-LHR-JFK-SFO-JFK.

thankfully, i love a good, long plane ride. aaaah...my "me time."

oh, wills & kate


the royal wedding is just days away! plenty of time to play with your william & kate paper dools. poor william looks like he's aged to his late forties. and kate looks about seventeen.

the royal jelly bean!

what two things are taking place this month? why, easter *and* the royal wedding.

so amazing to see that a gentleman in the UK has discovered the perfect merging of the two...a jelly bean with the likeness of kate middleton:


"As Jessica opened the jar, I saw her immediately. She was literally lying there staring back at me."

literally? oh, those crazy brits.

sad!


i'm not partial to cute things...but i've always had a soft spot for knut, the german polar bear. sadly, he passed away this week at the berlin zoo. goodbye, knut!

is it just me...?


or does princess to be kate (now catherine) middleton have man hands?

i know, not very nice. but just sayin'.

maybe it's just an awkward angle her fingers now hang with that flossy rock on it.
