Hidden Inspiration

Lately I have been running into inspiration in the strangest places. I have been cleaning out the house of "stuff" I just don't need anymore and ran into something that has been a hidden inspiration in some of the beautiful things I am finding myself gravitating towards while planning my wedding: Anne Shirley. I have always loved "Anne of Green Gables" and almost anything associated with L.M. Montgomery's fantastic series of books about the most wonderful, redheaded, optimist I have ever had the pleasure of "meeting." Because my Mom just reminded me how my Grandmother always used to ask me when I would find my "Gilbert," and my matron of honor told me about a bride she knows who used "Anne's Theme" in her wedding ceremony, I thought it appropriate to delve back into the series as a treat for doing well on my midterms.
