Happy Friday!  Today I’m headed to….

…the last day of VBS for my kids.

…the barn to open the shop for the day.

…Surreybrooke to drop off the flower Sweet Clover did for the Sophie and Madigan Butterfly Gala.

…the park to play with friends.

…the liquor store bed so I can do it all over again tomorrow and Sunday, and then maybe sleep on Monday?

In the meantime, I wanted to share with you what caught my eye this week.

This office from Simple Stylings is just perfect!

Shelley’s amazing DIY pressed and chrome painted botanical gallery wall knocked my socks off.   I was actually wearing flip flops when I read it- with socks, and it knocked them off.

Katja helped her friend make over her living room and the result is glorious!  Not to mention, Katja is one of the most talented photographers I know!

I love this beachy bedroom makeover from The Wicker House.  Would you believe the headboard is a $10 yardsale find?

And finally, this is a must read for dog lovers.  Please grab your box of tissues before you read- you will need them.  I just read it again in adding the link and am once again crying.

Have a fabulous weekend!  Life is short; live it up and spread some cheer.

XOXO

    Also, stop trying to make me read that dog post. I keep scrolling past it quickly when I see it on FB. I just KNOW it’s going to be a bad idea to read it.
