Here's Your (Favorite Friday) Sign

Already it's been quite a day.

The littlest love woke up with terrible growing pains in his hip. Poor kid can barely walk! Luckily his pain tolerance is crazy high and thinks it's funny that he can't really walk vs crying. I woke up at 6 am to a phone call from the school announcing a two hour delay. At least he gets time on the couch with a heating pad! 

 In better news, our daughter got her school issued iPad yesterday and we put a picture of us on it. Because we're awesome parents like that. 

Bring on the Friday Favorites! 

This week is brought to you by my hatred of the signs that say 'Simplify'. I feel like that defeats all purposes. Why are you buying something to remind you not to buy things? Just don't buy it. A wallet that says 'simplify' would be much more appropriate.

Via

Via Perfect for any small business owner. We never really close.

Via

Via I grew up with a hunter and have an irrational love of faux taxidermy. In any form.

Via I've bought a gift from this shop before and I loved it! She does a killer job. And this sign is exactly what I need in my kitchen for my not picky but finicky family.

Did you find a favorite? Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!

Favorite Friday- Tea Towels!

For the baker in all of us.

My Grandma has never used a dishwasher. We were the dishwashers and tea towels were the bane  of my existence. I had to dry because my sister was/is a perfectionist and would anger me by putting things back in the water that had a speck on them. So, to keep my mom from prison, I was the dryer. 

With tea towels. 

Or something as equalling thin and useless. Why buy new when we've lived through the depression? To be fair, she did have better, she was just saving them for the next depression. To this day, she's basically a full service department store and I've already claimed living with her should there ever be an economic reason. Cookies for decades? Yes please!

Moving on.

To honor my favorite upcoming holiday- Back To School!

Sheep!

For my Main Man. To get the hint.

My style of cooking...

Hello wedding gift/present of any kind!

Any of these can cover rising bread in my house this Fall. 

Which one is your fav?

Friday Favorites- Pre-Fall

I'm an adult and I get the hiccups. There I said it. Does that embarrass anyone else?

Moving on…

Yes, it's still July, but here in Indiana, it's been a few chilly mornings in a row. So this weeks favorites are cozy without the winter weight.

Lightweight and ready to warm up your favorite summer shirt

Oak tree sweatshirt, for those of us with long hair. Hoodies are the worst.

Dress it up, or not.

This tunic comes in lots of colors and a customizable length! 

Why yes, this does make me want to nap.

Does any of this make you ready to give up warmth for cozy? Are you dreaming of apple cake? Because I have an amazing recipe if you need it. ;) 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Favorites: The Unexpected Mason Jar

Growing up, seeing a mason jar meant one thing- peaches. 

Down from the depths of the cellar, and later the basement, of my Grams's house would come wonderfully preserved peaches. A jar might last through lunch. 

Because I could eat every single one of them from the jar, with a fork, by myself.

But these days, old is the new, well, new. 

I bring you, the unexpected Mason Jar.

Spoon rest or general holder.

Can you imagine the refracted light? Even the lids have great detail!

Sweet smelling jewelry.

The beauty of Etsy is that if you don't want the tags to say 'Parenting Advice', message the seller! I'd take them blank.

Hello summer party!

Which is your favorite? I can't wait to give the spoon rest to my mom who never has one and hates a mess.

In other quick news, I mentioned last week we may be moving. It's a no go. The job was not available much to everyones surprise and disappointment. That's okay, I was sad to leave my giant single bowl sink. More on that later...

Friday Favorites of the Small Variety

By Monday, we should know if we are moving two hours to the north. The whole area is picturesque, surrounded by several lakes and zero fast food. What a fun adventure, right? 

Wrong. 

Mostly. 

Because we would have 2 weeks to do it. That's right, pack up a family of four and my office to move to a town where rental properties means on the lake for a cool 2 grand a week. 

That's not in my husbands' teacher's salary. 

I looked. 

Basically, if this is God's plan, than it'll work out. Do not try to change my mind, I might lose it.

Onto Friday Favorites! This week, it's all small, easy to pack things.

At least I appear friendly.

Which room can't this go in?

Can you tell anchors are a current favorite of mine? Since you see your phone all day, everyday, why not remind yourself 'not to sink'?

Coordinates of anywhere you want to remember. Vacation? Last home? Where you met your great love? I'd pick the last one.

Wear this and show the world you're ready for adventure!

Come back Monday. I've been working on a whole new version of removable wreaths that I can't wait to show you!
