Friday Five

1. Paragon China on Etsy: I've been craving this pattern ever since my dad brought the tea set back from England in this beautiful pattern.  It's always been my dream to have it as my wedding china.  Unfortunately, Paragon china went out of business years ago so the only way to find the set is in pieces on Ebay, and apparently now Etsy; which makes me very, very happy!  

2. Children in Need special sneak peak:  You're just going to have to get used to seeing the 50th anniversary be mentioned every few days at least until November 23rd.  



3. These gorgeous minimalist posters that show the differences between Paris and New York.  They are absolutely perfect!  Now if she'd just create some London ones I'd be pretty darn happy!

4. Smitten by Britain: My new favorite website.  I spent hours on it the other day.  Who knew there were others out there as crazy as I am about all things England and Britain?

5. Usually I'm grumpy about the whole Christmas time coming before Thanksgiving but this year, I'm totally up for it.  I already have my Christmas tree up at work and I've made some pretty good head way on the shopping.  And you all might think it crazy, but I was actually listening to Christmas music last weekend.  Bring it on Santa!  I'm ready this year!
