Merlin Season 5: The Last Season

BBC announced this week that season 5 will be the last season of Merlin. I'm sure going to miss this show! I'm sad it's coming to an end, but I am glad that there are at least 5 seasons to watch over and over again. 

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all ends through the next few episodes. It's going to be hard to wait! And then I might just have to go back and start Season 1 again. ;)

Les Miserables

I am getting so excited for Les Miserables to be released in theaters! Every trailer I see looks better and better. Not to mention this featurette which talks about how they sang live for every take, no pre recording! It looks incredible! I get chills every time I watch it.

 It opens December 25, 2012 in the US. I'm hoping to get to see it while I am at home visiting family for the holidays. My sister and I used to play and sing the songs growing up and I became obsessed with the 1998 version and the abridged book when I was 12, so I'm looking forward to seeing it with her. I'm reading the complete unabridged book now (yes, all 1463 pages of it!) but I don't think I will finish it before I see the movie. It's really good though! I'm enjoying it.

The Willow Nest Photo Shoot

I have been super busy the past couple months, working on winter stuff for my shop and I was able to do a fun photo shoot with a friend while she was here with some of my items! (so much easier then taking pictures of things on myself!) We had a lot of fun going to the park, drinking Starbucks  and eating pumpkin bread. I think we need to live in the same town and make this a regular habit! ;)

Ella Beyer Fine Art

I know I've already posted about this on my other blog but, for those of you who don't read it, I wanted to share with you the art of my dear friend, Ella. She paints the most vibrant and inspiring places, I want to live inside her paintings!

She and her husband just moved across the country (much closer to me now!) so she is settling in to a new place and new life. I hope you will hop over to her inspiring blog and say hello and check out her Etsy shop! She has been such a huge inspiration in my life, I am excited to follow along on her blogging adventure!
