FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hi there, I hope you're having a great weekend! Caleb is in town for a friend's bachelor weekend so we got to spend a few hours with him yesterday, that doesn't happen often enough these days! Other than that we've just got a weekend around the house and church Sunday morning , it's SO hot that not doing much of anything sounds perfect to me! Here are my Five Friday Favorites for this week! 1) It seems like this summer has been particularly humid, and I had almost forgotton about my secret weapon hairspray.  I use one that's a bit lighter day to day, but my hair has been a wreck lately and I remembered to pull this out of my cabinet! It holds curl in humidity better than anything I've used.  It's serious, though!  I like to spray it in quick bursts, scrunch my curls, then let it dry and lightly comb them to tame strays if needed. It's good to have on hand for bad hair days- add to your cart on Amazon , Walmart , or Target . Weather Control Hairspray ......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Weekend! Since I'm back with you after missing a few months, I've made quite the list of things to share with you over the next few Five Friday Favorites posts! With holidays and semi-annual sales coming up in the next few weeks too there are some great deals to be found.  I'll be working on sharing my best picks from those with you as well, but for today here are some favorites I've been loving lately!  I keep a couple of planters at our back gate and some of them have been worn out for a while, I just hadn't found something I liked to replace them with.  I recently came across this darling woven wicker look urn style planter with a scallop top edge and thought it would be perfect for the spot!  It comes with a plastic liner if you want to plant directly in it, but I usually just drop the plastic pot inside so I removed that to let water drain. My one concern was that they might tip over in the wind, but we've had some very high winds the past week or so ......

Happy Friday!  It's a beautiful day in OKC, hope it is where you are as well!  We're kicking off Spring Break this weekend and we're looking forward to Emily being home for the week.  It's bittersweet- her last one home before she graduates with her MBA in May and starts a full time job.  Then we'll officially be empty-nesters! I've got some good things to share with you today, let's get to it!  If you've been around for long you know my love for Bordallo Pinheiro dishes.  I've loved collecting them over the years but they've soared in popularity over recent years and can be quite expensive and harder to find now.  So, when I recently stumbled across these  cabbage dinner plates  I had to try them out!  And let me tell you, I could not be more impressed.  They're affordable for a set of 4, dishwasher and microwave (light reheating) safe, and spot on for the originals.  I have several Bordallo serving pieces, bowls, round charg......

Hello friends, happy weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you are doing something fun today with the people you love.  We are going to poke around some thrift and antique stores and have no big plans, we'll just see what the day brings- sounds perfect to me!!  Coming to you again on a Saturday instead of Friday for my Five Favorites this week, but you don't mind... right?  We do have a birthday to celebrate today too... this guy turns 14!!  We adopted him and his brother when they were 6 months old after they had been in a shelter up until that point.  We lost Scout in 2021 and still miss him!  Chief is still working hard at finding the best spot to lounge in the sun every day and settling in to watch tv with us at night (he'll only sit beside you on your left- he's not a lap cat!). 🤣  He got an extra splash of milk in his bowl this morning to celebrate.   Speaking of Valentine's Day (our first date was 34 years ago today!), I rec......
