A Little Heaven on Earth (i.e. our rendezvous with luxury, history, photography, and a ridiculously comfy bed!)

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super excited to share these next photos with you!  If you recall, two weekends ago Matthew and I celebrated our one year anniversary in a little old historic German town I later revealed to be Fredericksburg, TX and, being a new photography enthusiast, I was just thrilled to document our little trip through photos.  I don’t pretend to be a fabulous photographer (YET!), but I think these fun pictures tell a story all their own – not many words are required! 

We stayed in a bed and breakfast called Paradise Loft, and it was exactly that: paradise.  This particular B&B was perfectly situated in the middle of Main Street (the major tourist attraction of the town) and just above one of the street’s many eclectic little shops.  Guests at Paradise Loft enjoy their own private entrance off the street, where you open a heavy  wooden door to reveal an old and narrow wood and rock staircase.  At the top of those stairs is the entrance to the suite, which literally took my breath away when I walked through that door for the first time. 

The whole experience was just a delightful little indulgence for my design eye, for my love of the old and eclectic, and of course, for the romantic in me.

But I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.  I hope you enjoy them, and if you EVER get a chance to go to Fredericksburg, I highly recommend it!  Not only is the shopping and touristy stuff fabulous, but there is also super fun hiking at Enchanted Rock nearby - and if you dare, spelunking in some pretty badass old caves.  I’ve done it, and I lived to tell the tale (Matthew and I are going to go back and do it together when the weather gets warmer)!

These photos will be sequential for the most part, and I’ll only butt in to explain what it is you’re seeing every now and then. :)

And I guess that’s it for now, folks.  Sorry for picture overload! 

I’m ready to go back.  Like, tomorrow.  Day trip to Fredericksburg, anyone?  Just remember: I have a camera.  And a blog.  No one is safe.
