Who wants mail?

Hi ya'll! I'll be going on vacation next week and thought I'd send you lovelies some snail mail. If you want a postcard, just email your address at elysiepiecie {at} gmail.com.

XO.

PS...we're so close to getting to see Harry Potter!!!

Fill in the Blank Friday!

It's Friday! YAY! Hopefully I will be in Washington DC in a couple hours hanging out with my lovely cousin, Laura. I'm so excited. In lieu of getting ready, I'm actually doing this. I'm a perpetual dawdler.

1. The last movie I saw was Midnight In Paris. I've got Dali in my head saying "rhinoceros".

2. I want to learn how to stop worrying. It's hard and the harder I try, the more I worry.

3. Surprises are okay. I don't really like them. I like planning surprises, but I don't like people surprising me.

4. The best accessory is a good pair of shoes. And I don't mean a nice pair of heels. I mean, cute, comfy shoes. If shoes aren't comfy, it ruins my day.

5. My favorite warm drink is apple cider. I even love the instant apple cider.

6. My favorite cold drink is a Coke Icee. Yum! Can't wait to go home for the summer and get my fix of Racetrac Coke Icees.

7. Currently loving Katy Perry. I've always loved her, but I'm on a high after going to her concert. Seriously ya'll, she is amazing. Stay tuned for a post...

I hope ya'll have a lovely weekend! If you want to play along, make sure you link up here. And a special little shout out to my new followers! ::waveshello::

PS: I leave ya'll with what is currently making me happy/sad/nostalgic...enjoy!

Harry Potter

We're less than 19 days away to seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.


Just thought you'd like to know!

PS: I know this has nothing to do with Deathly Hallows (unless you count blowing up things, which equals fire...and ya'll know where I'm going with this), but I love it so!

I Solemnly Swear That I'm Up To No Good.

In honour of the Boy Who Lived's birthday, I must tell you the story of one of the best Christmas presents I ever received. This present was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone from my Grandma. I quickly devoured the book. Harry Potter was one of my first fictional loves, followed shortly by Ron Weasley...I'm a Weasley girl, through and through. When I heard Universal was opening up a Harry Potter theme park, I flipped my lid. So what did I do? I did what ever good Muggleborn witch does...I grabbed my Firebolt and flew straight to Hogsmeade. Brace yourself for the amount of pictures that follows...

My first stop was in Hogsmeade...






I did some shopping at Ollivander's,



Zonko's, Honeydukes,



and sent some owl post at the Owlery.



I also had some lovely Butterbeer. It's this nonalcholic concoction that tastes like cream soda and butterscotch. It was yummy, but I definitely wouldn't be downing that stuff everyday. On the other hand, there was some nice cold pumpkin juice that I could not get enough of. Seriously, they could have set me up on an IV drip with that stuff and I'd be a happy camper.

Then it was straight to Hogwarts to start my wizard's training.



I was greeted by the wonderful Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore. He made me feel more than welcome as a First Year.



I also met Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who took me on a tour of the castle and grounds. Seriously, if you go on one ride, go on the Forbidden Journey. It gives you a complete tour and you even get to play quidditch (even if the Dementors interfered and tried to kiss me).



Those who sent me their address, let me know when you get your postcard :)

Happy Birthday Harry Potter...and Mischief Managed.

Harry Potter!!!!

So, later this month I'm heading over the Magical Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or as I call it Harry Potter World. I'm so stinkin' excited to go and I want to share my good fortune with ya'll. So here's the deal. If ya'll send me your address to elysiepiecie{at}gmail{.}com, I'll send you a postcard from here...



I promise I'll not send creeper stuff to you, but you may get a random birthday or Christmas card :)
