    Congratulations, Erica Lea, on your engagement. A lovely ring and lovely photos!
    I’ve been ‘lurking’ on your blog for a while now and really like your photography. I recently started a photography blog also (see link). A question: how did you get the effect on your self-portrait photo? I am always happy to learn!
    Thanks and blessings,
    This Good Life.

    I just discovered your blog through, sigh, Pinterest – I’m getting sucked in.
    So, basically I don’t know you at all but I am a sucker for falling in love and marriage. Congratulations. I’m so happy for you.

Engaged!

I am pleased and happy (excited!) to announce that I am engaged to be married! Words cannot describe my complete joy.

Here’s my gorgeous ring. It’s white gold with my birthstone (garnet) and two tiny diamonds on the side.

We have yet to do an engagement photo session, so ya’ll will have to be content with these photos for now. :)

With love,

Erica Lea

Longing for Spring…

These days, I find myself longing for spring. There is still so much snow on the ground. But patches of grass are beginning to show…

Here’s a bit of cheer: I just purchased this adorable dress from eShakti, my new favorite online clothing store.

What brings you cheer this time of year?
