Friday Favorites from the Lake

August 22, 2014

This week has been spent vacationing at the lake, and like all vacations it has flown by and there are only a little over 24 hours left. Where does time go, really? And how do I get it back?? But, thanks to the time we've had, there have been some great moments that amount to favorites from this week! And because it's Friday, I'm sharing them...

[two] The leaves floating down with the breeze. There's nothing I love more than a swirl of cascading leaves, unless I"m standing in the middle of those falling leaves. It makes me fall in love with autumn all over again (see what I did there?).

[four] Big projects in the works. I've got something new brewing and I can't wait to share it with you! For a hint, read this post and try to discover what it might be...

[six] A hot cup of coffee in the morning. I've recently discovered a new favorite at Starbucks thanks to the suggestion of a barista. I loved me a dark caramel latte, but it recently was discontinued. Then I was told that ordering a caramel latte with half caramel and half white mocha is super similar. It's ahhh--mazing!

[eight] Crafting fall wreaths to adorn the doors of my home. If only every door in my house could use a wreath! I just can't seem to stop making them and coming up with a million new designs. I've made three this week alone. You can see two of the collection of five here!

[nine] The appearance of fall clothing lines. Let's just say that I need to get to LOFT as soon as humanly possible!


I hope you have had an incredible week full of favorites! And here's to the weekend! Join us next Friday with your list of Friday Favorites!
