Thanks for the roundup! I especially loved Sara Lindsey's photo stream from LACMA.
Those fashion pictures are totally to die for.
I also really liked the last link, the one to the Tudor house. Imagine living in a place that gorgeous!
Oh, cool! I have always been a nerdy history girl :-)
Oh, boy. You two are in trouble now! I had to stop twittering because I wasn't getting anything else done. Here's hoping the blush wears off the vine soon for you two!
