~a little Friday inspiration & a whole lot of jane~

hello everyone!

just a quick hi & some pretty Friday

inspiration for you!

first up.....because I wish my sewing room

looked this fabulous!!!

I don't know what I like more,

the chrome chair, the painted floors (really?;))

or the cute little trashcan......

ok, OR the darling vintage sewing machine....

OR

the little bin w/ wheels...

OR

that cute little table.  OK  I guess I love it ALL.

~*~

here's another cute little work table

now that has got to be the most awesome

 light fixture....

I'd love to find me one of those!



and because I'd love to still be sleeping in a wonderful bed such as this......

and I think I've even

posted this picture before, but is it

not worth swooning over some more?

or this one would also work for me.....

look at those awesome floors.....

and I do believe that is a big-o pole

right the middle of the room....

ya see it there?

built in coat rack!

~*~

now you weren't expected any rhyme or reason

from me today were you?

good ~ cuz I don't have any.

how about this living room?

I kinda like it.

what about the palm leaf in the vase?

hmmmm....I guess it gives it kind of a beach

feel ~ ok....

I like the large-ness of the coffee table...

I do not have a coffee table

~gasp~

and it's getting quite annoying not having

something fabulous to arrange all the cool

stuff I find on.....

{I am certain that was a huge run-on sentence but I'm lettin'

it ride today....;)}

~*~

ok new subject.....

"what I've been watching while working on

pillows & dust ruffles......"

do you recognize this cottage?

I have watched sooooooooooooooooooo

many Jane Austen movies in the last couple weeks...

 the cottage is from Sense & Sensibility,

the Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet

version.

love that movie.....if you have not,

for some unimaginable reason, seen it

go get it today!!

you don't even want to know how many times

I've watched it. 

but I also like to watch the BBC version

with David Morrissey, Janet Me Teer & Hattie Morahan.  Also very good ~ 3 full hours of goodness.

and watch

my beloved Jane Eyre

almost 4 hours of fabulous-ness

and of course Pride & Prejudice

6 hours of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett....

Mr. Ticking and Toile much prefers

the Kiera Knightly version.....

well, yes, I like it too, but it's toooooooo short!!

but the proposal at the end is magnificent.....

and the music is totally totally totally

amazing~ in fact I had the soundtrack on my blog

when I firsted started ~ because it is so beautiful

I could listen to it non-stop.

let's see what else I've watched or have tried

to watch........

well I've tried to watch many of these

but really have a hard time getting into it.

I was about 2/3rd's the way thru

Pride & Prejudice 

{it's at least 4-6 hours of very bad acting}

and Mr. T & T turned it off saying it was

the worst EVER.

{just so ya know, he isn't all huffy like that...he just

knew I wasn't loving it while I was sort of watching it....;) }

I couldn't disagree....I just wanted to see if I could

get thru it....

I am now trying to get thru some Charles Dickens

"Bleak House"

and it is also 6 hours.....Dickens is hard

to focus in on, but I'm working on it.

I should have bought the Gillian Anderson

version, but $6 was a lot less than $30!

I watched this too,

an old standby...

which is great ~  but ...um....well....

it's not an 18th century love story....

.............is there anything else?

well yes....I do have an open mind to other

genre's.  I also watched this....

Yes, I know technically it's kinda the same genre as all the Jane Austen's..... but, it's pretty good too.  Have you seen it?

I'd love to get your opinion on it.

~*~

well I hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

if I've missed a super fabulous movie you think

I must see, please let me know!!

xoxo,

Shellagh
