FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hello everyone, happy Friday!  Time gets away from me, it's been a bit since I've shared a Five Friday Favorites list with you but I have some good ones today!  I'm currently sitting in a waiting room while my Mom has surgery to repair a torn meniscus... my sisters and I are about to be on nurse duty for the near future!  In between caretaking we're also squeezing in a trip to the OKC Arts Festival this weekend where my niece has an exhibit of her paintings .  We're so excited for her- if you're local and are going, look for Evie Griffin's booth! OK, on to this week's favorites! I'm loving this mix of  pink and red tulips !  I think they are incredibly realistic and I've found about 5 places around my house that I want to use this arrangement... ha!  I peeled the petals apart and bent them on just a few stems to make them look more realistic.  The two bunches that I bought gave me this big arrangement and about 10 stems left over that I put toget......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

I haven't shared Five Friday Favorites with you in a while so this one is a doozy and packed full of good things! If you're newer here, 99.9% of the time I make these lists up of things that I personally have and love and am confident recommending to you! It's always a random list and I hope it's helpful and you find some good things you'll love too.  So here we go!  1) I shared this photo in yesterday's Valentine's Day Porch post .  This leggings + button up + sweatshirt combo is my standard  winter "uniform" several days each week when I'm working around the house or just running errands.  I needed some new winter warm leggings this year and have tried out several... there are 3 different ones that I ended up loving!  My basic requirements were I wanted pockets on the leg for my phone, a smooth buttery fabric that wouldn't attract fuzz, cat hair, etc., and as streamlined as possible with no crazy seams.  I found all three to be true to si......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

1) Ruffle Trim Pillows-  I've picked up the cutest ruffle trim striped pillows lately!  First my Grace Harris Collection  block print ruffle pillow covers  that I shared earlier this week, and now look at these striped cuties!   Sadly, this size sold out before I could share with you, but good news that  this print is also available in a 16x24 size .  Love that size for chairs or the middle of a bed or front of a pillow stack on the bed.  The description says "Orange Striped" for the color, but I think it's a very reddish orange and could totally pass for red depending on what you mix it with.  Either way it's adorable!  I found some other fantastic things from H&M home right now, too.  I have some hot pink pillow covers from Ikea that are no longer available and I always get asked about them-  these look like a near perfect match !  I added a monogram to mine, there are other good solid colors to choose from too.......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hello friends!  I'm publishing this post late Sunday afternoon even though I didn't change the title of Five Friday Favorites... busy few days and even though I'm not on time I still wanted to share some great things with you this weekend!  I hope you've had a great one, the weather could not have been more perfect in OKC and it finally feels like Fall!  So, let's get to the goods... My daughter in law told me about  this sweatshirt  and I love it so much that this is my second color to buy.  I bought the green and navy stripes with yellow trim for my alma mater colors, but also fell in love with this pink and orange option.  So fun for team colors or just pick your favorite color combo!  It's a look for less of a pricier Free People sweatshirt, and I can't imagine how the real thing could be any better.   Striped Sweatshirt  wearing sz. L  ||  Affordable Prescription Bifocal Sunglasses I haven't mentioned it here ye......

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hello friends, happy Friday!  We are scurrying around today taking care of a variety of things but excited to pop over to Stillwater to see Emily later today too.  We've also been cat sitting Ollie while Caleb and Kenzi have been on their first anniversary trip.  Even as empty nesters there's never a dull moment around here!  I'm sure many of you can relate.  😂  I'm excited to share some this week's Five Friday Favorites with you, so let's get to it! I recently spotted this book while traveling and it reminded me that I wanted to read it last year for Advent but discovered it too late and it was sold out everywhere.  I'm glad I was reminded to snag it now!  It's a gorgeous hardcover 25 day devotional for the Christmas season, Ruth Chou Simons has written (and illustrated beautifully!) some really good books. It's such a great price you might want a few for gifts, too... give them early so they can join you in reading for Advent!   Spe......
