Happy Friday! Did anyone get snow last night? Looking at the weather it looks like all of Raleigh got snow but me. Yucky rain was all that fell on my house.  I’ll be heading to the mountains this weekend, I’m sure I’ll get my snow fix. Any of you have big plans?

Sorry that I’ve been a little slack this week. I’ve been busy fellow-shipping with friends and family. I’m sure you’ve been partaking in the same.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  It will be the new year before you know it. Time is flying!

Over my break I did a little Pinterest cleanup. I reorganized a bit and deleted some boards. One of my new boards is ‘Jewelry.’ I was tired of jewelry being lumped in with ‘My Style.’ I’m actually tired of a lot of things being lumped in there, but I’m still figuring out how I want to subdivide. Anyway, this Friday I took the easy route in regards to ‘Friday Favorites’ and just provided you a link to my new ‘Jewelry‘ board. Go check it out and let me know if there are any staples I’m missing. Here is a teaser:

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Hopefully I’ll have time to chat with you again before the new year, but if not, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas Wish List / Friday Favorites / 11

Instead of the typical ‘Friday Favorites’ I decided to share my ‘Christmas Wish List’ with you. Some big and some small. Some realistic, some not.

What is on your wish list? Mine always has room to grow, so I’m open to new ideas!

1. Bonjour Mademoiselle Red Print from blancucha on Etsy to add to my gallery wall.
2. Patagonia Women’s Los Lobos Vest
3. I want a small rechargeable vacuum  this one is by Shark. I didn’t do much research, not sure if it is the best for moderately priced handheld vacuums or not?
4. Patagonia Women’s Torrentshell Jacket
5. Kate Spade Gumdrop Stud Earrings in Black (I lost one from my last pair.)
6. Peplum Stripe Top from J.Crew
7. 3.5 Cup KitchenAid Food Chopper
8. Brita Pitcher Replacement Filter
9. Patagonia Women’s Better Sweater Vest
10. I need a new work bag and the Dooney & Bourke Wilson fits the bill (one of my big, unrealistic items) UPDATE… The bone color is on sale for $199 for today only while supplies last.. check it out .. uh.. bone will do for me.. haha
11. Bandage iPhone 4S case by Charlene McCoy on Society 6 (It was the winner from your votes.)
12. The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman
13. New Wigwam Socks
14. LED 3 Cell D Maglite (my old incandescent one just isn’t cutting it anymore)
15. A new umbrella. I like this one from Totes because it is retractable and has the wooden handle.

This definitely isn’t all that is on my list, it could go on for days, I just ran out of room. You find anything you like?

Have a happy Friday! Don’t forget to share your wish list items with me!

Friday Favorites / 10

I finished 99.9% of Project #2 before the soiree last night (thanks to all that came!). 4 out of the 5 items were completely finished. The gallery wall was lacking a bit. I posted an instagram photo of what was accomplished before the deadline.

I still need to fill a few frames and a few spaces.

When I shared with you guys that I know my personality and I know that I would get more done if I set myself a deadline and let you guys hold me accountable, I forgot to mention that I am a full blown procrastinator. I always end up getting things done and meeting deadlines but it always comes down to the last minute. AKA… my hanging the gallery wall yesterday during lunch. I should have known that this part of my personality would result in less blogging. I should have planned accordingly and started this particular project earlier. Again, another lesson learned. I have plenty of progress photos though, so I will be sharing them with you and the diy instructions next week. Thanks for sticking with me as I find my blogging flow.

Down to business… I still wanted to share with you guys some things I came across this week.. Without further ado.. Friday Favorites!

1. Colossal Gold Wishbone from Anthropologie
2. Tackety Pitcher, Round from BHLDN
3. Open Bloom Top from Anthropologie
4. Goodly Whale Bottle Opener from BHLDN
5. Vintage Blue and White Ceramic Ginger Jar from EstateEclectic on Etsy
6. Christmas Knit Pattern Wrapping Paper from NormansPrintery on Etsy
7. Milk Glass Vase Collection: Beeswax Candles from freshpastrystand on Etsy
8. Womens Ambrogia from UGG Australia
9. postcard wood- one deer card from formesberlin on Etsy

Hope you all have a great weekend. Anyone doing anything special?

Friday Favorites / 7

I’m sorry that I haven’t had too many exciting posts this week (or many posts at all if I’m truthful). I’ve been rather busy at work. I know that isn’t really an excuse, but it makes it a little harder to get motivated at night. As a cancellation prize I have lined up some good stuff for next week. Thanks for sticking around!

Don’t forget to go and vote for which new iPhone case I should get. I’m desperate! The purchase is going to have to happen this weekend.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Do any of you guys have big plans? Have a drink for me on Saturday to celebrate my birthday!
