Two Weeks of Friday Favorites

A double whammy compilation of Friday favorite things. Two weeks worth of terrific tidbits around these parts. These parts meaning my four walls…I don’t leave. I have four kids.

 
I watched the 1974 version of The Great Gatsby. It was surprisingly really good. I say that because I don’t always love old movies and I really wanted this one to be good. And it was. I thought the casting was terrific. But I wasn’t too sure about Mia Farrow. Kinda weird. She was weird. I don’t know. I can’t wait to see the new version too!

I’ve told you I’m switching and tweaking some things in our townhouse and I thought for a long time our desk needed to be smaller. A couple weekends ago we made a spur of the moment decision to go get the one I had my eye on at IKEA. I love it and love how it looks size-wise in our space. More on that when I get it all done….

Sissy pants and I have been doing some pretty amazing crafts from her craft of the month boxes. We’ve been doing some reallllly fun fairy projects. Here’s a sneak peek at her fairy shoes we made. 

 
Breakfast with neighbor friends that turned into a candlelit breakfast when the power went out. Still super fun.

I got tickets!! Serious bucket list material here: Mumford & Sons tickets!!!!!!!!! I am very very pleased about this. Very.
 
 
This salad!! Its spring lettuce, apples, bacon, chicken, and pecans with a balsamic/garlic/olive oil dressing that was so good I almost died. Not even kidding.  You can find the recipe HERE. 



Last night we went blueberry picking. It was gorgeous. Definitely summer bucket list item achieved here. We have enough blueberries to last for at least two breakfasts now. The colors they are on the bushes….amazing. All shades of purple and blue.

This we was full…I guess they all are. I completed a plate wall I’ve been afraid of doing and it looks good! Pictures to come. Also, we’re having an impromptu tea party. Impromptu, as in we decided Tuesday…that’s pretty spur of the moment for this planner. I need more time than that….but we’re going with it. Better go get set up!

Alright, lovelies, have a fabulous Friday and an even more fabulous weekend! Woo hoo!!
