Link Party

My friends, It's {almost} Friday… Time for Friday Flair! You know I do believe that this is my favorite day of the week. The week is winding down and everyone is gearing up for some R&R over the weekend. We are in full 4th of July gear-up mode here for next week and I thought I would share a simple and stunning dessert idea from Baker's Royal as our inspiration photo this week.

Hey Ya'll it's {almost} Friday… Time for Friday Flair. I have to say "ya'll" because I am down here in Atlanta at Haven. If you don't know, Haven is a blog conference for home bloggers.  The tag line is "Haven, because home is where the heart is!" It's been a ball so far… The keynote speakers were Sherry & John from Young House Love. fabulous. We had a great photography and styling class with Layla & Kev from The Lettered Cottage and learned hands on, how to build furniture from Ms. Ana White, truly a highlight! I'll have to share more next week on all the fun.

Now, for my favorite inspiration photo for this week… I'm totally getting into the red, white & blue mood these days and I am so in love with these patriotic ice cream sandwiches from A Farmgirl's Dabbles…

Hey guys… It's {almost} FRIDAY, time for Friday Flair!!

I'm currently knee deep in baby shower preparations for Sarah's shower on Saturday. No, she's not having twins… she has been blessed to adopt a sweet new baby girl and during the adoption process was blessed to also become pregnant!!  Her and her sweet honey have been trying for years, so they have been doubly blessed with two little girls who will be 3 1/2 months apart!! How fabulous is that? I've gone with a pretty nontraditional theme for this shower.  Here's a bit of a sneak peek…

That's all I'm going to share for now… The fun invite created by my friend Kristin with two cute cars {what cars for a girls baby shower?}  You'll just have to wait and see.  Below that, I have some Instagram pics of the party prep… cutting miles and miles of crepe paper to make fun tassels, and yes… dip dying paper plates and wooden skewers.  Going to need some fabulous skewers for everyone to indulge in some tasty Velata!! It's going to be sooooo fun!! I can't wait to share next week!!

Also, don't forget to enter this weeks fun Kaboo Bags giveaway… LOVE those bags!!

Now let's get the party started!!

Sweet… it's {almost} FRIDAY, time for Friday Flair!! School is out, the days are warming up {some place more than others… yea,Vegas kinda stinks this time of year!} Time for late mornings, homemade popsicles, crafting with the kiddos and lazy days by the pool.  

I'm also dreaming of Chesterfields!!! I have been looking high and low for the perfect sofa for our living room and I found this one that is PERFECT, but only available in the United Kingdom… BOO!  Oh well, the search continues.
