A few of my favourite things...

On BHLDN

Little Leaf Placeholders

(I think these would be adorable on the tables.

Maybe I could make something that looked more real)

Glass Swallow Confection Jars

(These would be great if you wanted candy as your favours)

Crinkle Fans

(A nice idea if you're having an outdoor wedding.

Helps the guests stay cool, and could double as

a wedding favour.)

Sweets For Your Sweet Bag

(Again goes with the 'candy for favours' idea)

Sliced Vine Lanterns

(Wouldn't these look darling hanging from tree branches for an

outdoor wedding?)

Giving Tree Votive

(A bunch of these of differing heights would look gorgeous

as centrepieces on the tables with some foliage around them)

Offshoot Cake Server

(Sweet little twiggy cake server - I love outdoor themed decor!)

Stick Together (Song)

Here's a song I wrote on my ukulele at the start of the year...

Stick Together

He said, ‘Girl, the way that you smile that smile,

Well girl, you just about drive me wild.

And girl, the sparkle that lights your eyes,

It keeps me awake all night

Thinkin’ ‘bout you and the way

That you make me feel inside

‘Cause one look at you and I know

We’ll always be alright

We’ll stick together like paper and glue

I wanna stay here forever with you

Whatever comes are way, baby

We’ll see it through

‘Cause we go together like good food and wine

Whatever the weather we’ll be just fine

I’m yours forever and darling, you are mine’

She said, ‘Boy, the way that you hold me tight,

Well I feel I could dance all night.

And boy, your love for me shines so bright,

That boy, it fills me with pure delight

To just think about you and the way

You make me feel inside

‘Cause one look at you and I know

We’ll always be alright

We’ll stick together like paper and glue

I wanna stay here forever with you

Whatever comes are way, baby

We’ll see it through

‘Cause we go together like good food and wine

Whatever the weather we’ll be just fine

I’m yours forever and darling, you are mine’

So In Love...

Here's a song that I recently wrote...

V.1
I don't know if you understand
What you're doing to me
Just the simple touch of your hand
Distracts me so I cannot see
Anything that's around me
All I see is you

Ch.
I have looked all over the world and found
There is no-one like you
One look from you takes my breath away
I'm so in love with you

V.2
This sweet anguish of passion
Is cutting me straight to the heart
The look in your eyes is heaven
And I feel the love you impart
Every day you astound me
'Cause every day is new

Chorus

Bridge
We'll be together forever and no-one can sever
The love that we share
You show me that I can know that
Wherever I go you will always be there

Fade Away

I close my eyes, and I see you standing before me.
I reach out my hand to touch you. Eyes and fingers trace every detail of your face, yet somehow, you remain a mystery.
We embrace; bodies together as one, cheek on cheek. My arms encircle your neck, and yours about my waist, yet I feel no warmth. I feel nothing but longing.
You smile tenderly on me. I wonder, who are you? You are an enigma. So close I can almost touch you, but too far away to know you.
My eyes open; you fade away like a memory.

The Day We Meet

I wrote this song about the day I meet my future husband...
November 15th, 2009

If I could see your face right now,
I wonder what I'd say
Would I confess undying love,
Or would I run away?
I'm waiting for the day we meet
I'm hoping that I'll know
That the two of us were meant to be
I'll feel it in my soul.

I will wait patiently
For you to come and be with me
But I long for the day we meet

If I could hear your voice right now
I wonder what I'd hear
Would you say you don't want to live your life
Without me near?
Maybe I already know you
Only as a friend
One day we might just wake up
And see love around the bend.

So I will wait patiently
For you to come and be with me
But I long for the day we meet.

Happy For You

So, I just finished writing another song...
The inspiration came from a friend.
Disclaimer: The emotions and thoughts portrayed in this song are not necessarily those of the artist. =:^)
Enjoy!

Happy For You

Verse 1
Well I heard just the other day that you got yourself a girl
That little bit of info put my heart into a whirl
You see that really wasn’t what I wanted to hear
I used to have some hopes and dreams of a future with you near
But from me all you’re gonna hear is

Chorus
I’m happy for you. Don’t worry ‘bout me
You’re the only one who matters, don’t fear for my sanity
You’re not gonna see me cry, and you won’t hear me complain
Even if I have to lie, I will look at you and say
I’m happy for you

Verse 2
You used to be a real good friend, before you went away
Didn’t know how much you meant to me until it was too late
Now I’m left here wishing I could say that I wanna make you mine
But you’re with someone else, so I’ve gotta leave those words behind
And now I guess all I can say is

Chorus

Bridge
I’ll never know how great we could’ve been; together, you and me
But I’ll get over it eventually, wait and see

Verse 3
Well I heard just the other day that you got yourself a girl
So I’ll just wish the two of you all of the love in the world
Cause…

Chorus

Mrs. Darcy

Just watched Pride and Prejudice again, for like at least the 5th or 6th time... Don't think I'll ever get tired of watching that movie; I never catch all of what they're saying anyway, so each time I watch it I understand more of the dialogue. They talk so fast in that accent, sometimes it sounds like a different language! Watching Pride and Prejudice always makes me wistful. It makes me wish I was a "Mrs. Darcy" and that I had a "Mr. Darcy" of my own. Not a Mr. Collins, or even a Mr. Bingley, but a Mr. Darcy. The drama; the wit; the biting sarcasm and clever put-downs... The contempt-turned-to-love... The happily-ever-after...
Sometimes I find it hard to enjoy being single, even after over three years of practice. Maybe its because I wasn't for so long... Who knows. All I know is that I'm looking forward to meeting my 'Mr. Darcy' and having moments with him where we're both "completely and perfectly and incandescently happy."
