Inspiration Board: A Romantic Engagement Weekend

Last week I was overjoyed to participate in a very special Valentine's Day post over on the always-so-sweet Hank & Hunt blog called "A Rainbow of Inspiration". I simply adore Jenny (the super sweet and always inspirational crafty creator of H&H) and was honored to be asked to participate alongside some absolutely fantastic inspiration board building bloggers. My color of the rainbow was yellow - a departure from my usual fall backs of blushy pinks, burlap tone toned, and creams.  And as I began to search and gather images I felt a story emerging... and my inspiration became a romantic weekend mini-break away at a chic b&b in the countryside. Best of all; it included a surprise engagement with a canary diamond ring.


What do you think?  Was I able to capture the story in my head with these photos? And if you missed it please go and look at Jenny's wonderful blog and all of the beautiful other colors of the rainbow of inspiration!
