”A woman’s always younger than a man
At equal years.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861), British poet. Aurora Leigh, bk. 2 (1857). An explanation follows: … because she is disallowed Maturing by the outdoor sun and air, And kept in long-clothes past the age to walk.

Some over the top pretty just before I dash out to a shoot – thanks! I needed some more inspiration. Also…..I feel like I need to remarry my husband. I love that bridal aisle/altar image via Style me Pretty. You’ve really brought the girly out in me
ohhh i love, love, love the Honey Trees! their sound, their videos, their lyrics, so dreamy. perfect for a music Monday. i also love getting sneak peeks of your homes too. and miss Abigail has truly outdone herself with that outdoor setting, hasn’t she? eeeee, and that wedding aisle photo has inspired me to do a “once upon a time” pin board, and i am entranced by those brilliant striped deck chairs for a reception! and of course, you had me at Elizabeth Barrett Browning, aww…. a literary genius with a magical and very honest style. leaving all other poets before her in the dust. many poets followed after her, even my beloved Emily Dickinson, but none were ever able to match her brilliance in my humble opinion. mostly because i believe that she was born a poet; having written her very first poem at the age of 6! lastly, thank you , thank you, thank you for including our home in this love fest! you’ve made my week. love you ladies & your fantastical blog! oxo
