This blog post was written a few years ago, but the sentiments remain the same. It’s a gorgeous day in TN, so enjoy this little post and do some picnicking or novel reading today.
It’s happening again…
I’m pinning Regency era empire waist gowns on Pinterest. I’m listening to classical music. I’m sitting on a bench in one of the rare gardens in NYC and sighing. I’m itching to paint. I’m reading Austenland.

In the past two years I became a wife and mother. We also moved from the Big Apple to a little town in Middle Tennessee.

Speaking of which, I published my new personal website recently. It features an entire page dedicated to my short films. Take a look!
