Thank You Martha!

My work lunchbreaks (ok, and much of my actual work hours) are now spent planning/freaking-out-about-how-much-planning-there-is for my wedding. I got off to a bad start with a Cosmo Bride magazine which really wasn't my taste and almost convinced me that I'm not a wedding person. I have only just started visiting the Martha Stewart Weddings site and it has already rocked my world and reinstated my love of all things bridal. I am particularly enamored by these Cherry Blossom themed ideas which make me want to elope to Kyoto.

Nothing says spring like...

I'm currently celebrating the start of spring the way that the Japanese do. They sure do love their cherry blossoms and it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement. These are just some of the hundreds of cherry blossom photos I took on my last visit. I'm recapturing the moment with a big bunch of cherry blossoms on my sideboard.
