Ladies in Lavender -- DVD Movie Recommendation

I watched this movie over the weekend and LOVED IT. For some reason I decided to look in the Foreign Films section at the library and it was filled with movies made in Great Britain in English with no subtitles. I was so happy!

Maggie Smith and Judi Dench are wonderful as is the story and the scenery. Look for it at your library or find it on Netflix. You can thank me later! Click the second photo to enlarge and read the description. xo

I actually posted a close view of this painting at lunchtime today on Instagram but I forgot to include the code to make it post on my blog. You can see it here and read the title on the plaque.

A Gorgeous Mansion

This architectural wonder is really beautiful, isn't it? It's not too big either. I would love to see the interior. The outside is elegant simplicity. See you later. xo via

Peony Friends

I figured out a way to automatically post my Instagram photos to my blog so my readers won't feel left out. I used an app called IFTTT which stands for If This Then That. You create "recipes" to trigger an action. I created a recipe to automatically post any new Instagrams to my Blog. I know many of you don't subscribe to Instagram. Now you can enjoy my photos the minute they are live. This saves me the step of having to repost to Blogger. I continue to enjoy learning new things! Have a great Sunday.

Princess Charlotte Waves from The Palace Balcony

She's a natural, isn't she? Prince George looks puzzled. What a beautiful family!

Something's funny here. Wish I knew the inside joke. It was quite a day in England with The Queen's 3-day 90th birthday celebration and Prince Philip's 95th birthday today. It was also Princess Charlotte's first public appearance from the Palace Balcony to an adoring audience. Both photos from Vanity Fair. Read more here.
