Friday Favorites
Good Friday morning to you!
Where I am in PA, the weather seems to have jumped from early August to late November temperatures in a matter of about two weeks.....and this girl is not loving it! It has not been a peaceful transition to say the least.
The change in the weather has reminded me that Halloween is quickly approaching, so for my Friday Favorites post today, I wanted to share some of my favorite ideas for incorporating a little of the spooky into your decor. While I don't normally decorate for the holiday, I do always love to see how others are embracing their inner witches and ghosts.

Friday Favorites | No. 2
Can you believe that next week at this time will be Christmas?!?! Crazy how fast this month has gone......and the whole year quite frankly.
The weather has been extraordinarily warm here and Christmas day looks like it will be in the mid-fifties and sunny. Not typical weather for a day in central PA when most expect snow, but to be quite honest I'm totally fine with it. The older I get, the more I think I'd be perfectly happy living in a warm southern climate.
I've still got a few posts planned for next week, but I'm also planning some time for just sitting back and enjoying the season and time with family and friends. Since the holidays are falling on Fridays, this is it for the series this year. I'm guessing we all have a few more interesting things to keep us busy for a couple weeks!
So here is the final Friday Favorites of 2015. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend my friends!

Friday Favorites #45
Good Friday morning, friends. I hope that your week has gone well!
This past week, I took a little social media break. If you follow me on Pinterest or Instagram you may have noticed that I wasn't really around. I don't know about you, but there are times when I feel like I am on inspiration overload. With so much to look at, it starts to get a little overwhelming and unenjoyable. Sometimes I like to step back and focus on my own projects and creating my own inspiration. Do you ever feel that way?
Friday Favorites #42
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by for another week of my Friday Favorites. I love sharing the things that have inspired me through the week in the hope that they might be something that you enjoy as well. I find that I am at my most creative when I am surrounded by things that constantly make me look at things in different ways.
There is a bit of everything here today including a Thanksgiving craft, some industrial farmhouse decorating ideas, and a little something for your taste buds.
Do you see anything here that is your favorite, too?
Friday Favorites #41
In case you weren't aware, today is Friday. Can anyone point me in the direction of where my week went?
After posting six (and a few times seven) days a week through September and into October, I think I finally mentally crashed and needed a bit of a break. The past few days of not posting has given me a chance to regroup and just relax a bit. I actually had a few minutes to spend reading some of my favorite blogs and browsing Pinterest, which doesn't happen much anymore.
I'm ready to enjoy the weekend and then get busy again next week. And just as a little FYI, it is looking like it is going to be a week devoted to things to hang on the wall. It wasn't intentional that all of my projects ended up falling under that category, but it happened. I think we all have some walls that could be decorated, right?
Friday Favorites #39
Hi Everyone. Can I say that I am super glad that today is Friday? It has been one of those weeks. You know the kind where you just can't wait for it to be over?
Heavy rains moved into my area on Tuesday and it put down well over five inches......a couple inches of which ended up in my basement. It was quite an unexpected shock because when I was in the basement at 4PM there was nothing, but by 6 the water was over the entire floor. Needless to say there was quite a mess, but luckily anything that can get ruined is stored up off the floor. It is just a job to get everything moved and dried out.
Friday Favorites #37
Good Friday morning to you all. I'm so happy to have you stopping by to see some of my favorite things that I've found this week while browsing through the internet. My hope is that you'll always leave here on Fridays inspired and maybe even introduced to some different blogs. One of my favorite things to do when I have time is to actually click through the pins I find on Pinterest (crazy, I know!) and browse around some new blogs. There are times that I can just tell that a specific pin is going to lead me to an inspiring site. A couple of today's favorites are from my must-read blog list, but a few are from websites I've never visited before and I really enjoyed having a look around a new space.
Friday Favorites #36
Happy Friday friends! I hope that you have all had an amazing week. This one was a busy one for me trying to get some projects and posts done. Next Wednesday I'm participating in a Farmhouse Fall home tour so much of my time has been spent trying to prepare for showing off a few spaces for you. I also finally got around to painting the Hobby Lobby pumpkins I purchased after Thanksgiving last year. They are looking fantastic and fitting right into my vision. Isn't it a great feeling when plans actually work out as you expect?!?!
Friday Favorites #35
Happy Friday to you all. I hope your shortened week has gone well. I must say that I'm happy to see that the weekend is here again!
Today I'm back with another post on my weekly favorites. I hope you enjoy all the things I found interesting over the past week.
See you back here on Monday!
Friday Favorites #34
Happy Friday, everyone! Today starts the beginning of the end of the summer season. Can you believe how fast those months went? The upcoming week looks like it will be warm where I'm at, though, so I'm not giving up on summer quite yet!
I'm out doing some antiquing today with my mom, so there will likely be some great finds showing up here next week. I don't typically come home empty handed from anywhere! I hope to share a few of my favorite shops and purchases on my Instagram page over the next few days.
Friday Favorites #33
Ah!!! This week's weather has been glorious!!! Sunshine. Warm temperatures. If I didn't know what the date is on the calendar, I'd swear summer was here. All that has really made me more productive and I got a few things done to share with you next week.
In other not so bright news, I've made the hard decision that this will be my last Friday Favorites post. It takes a lot more time to individually contact each blogger that I'd like to feature. As much as I enjoy spreading the love around and promoting my fellow bloggers, it is taking time away from creating and posting my own information. Plus, a lot of my favorites are from photographers and magazines that are not willing to have their pictures on other websites. My favorite things to pin (which is what my Friday Favorites started out as) are the things I'm not allowed to share. I may still do a favorites post once a month, and I'd like to do a few posts introducing you to some of the blogs that inspire me. But a weekly roundup must come to an end.
Friday Favorites #32
Would you believe that yesterday, April 23, there were blizzard-like conditions at times in PA? I posted this picture to Instagram in utter disbelief.
Today's forecast is much improved thankfully. It is difficult to work on a spring post while it is snowing outside!
Friday Favorites #31
There is really nothing that puts me in a positive and creative mood more than being able to take a walk through the neighborhood on a beautiful day. I've gotten to do that a few times this week, and my mind seems so much clearer. It is amazing how a simple walk can make it feel like anything is possible once again.
I'm lucky enough to live in a neighborhood with little traffic that is also a very short distance from a cemetery with a paved path. Some people may view walking through the cemetery as a little morbid or freaky, but can you really think of a more quiet and peaceful place to be?
Friday Favorites #30
Good morning to you friends! It feels so good to finally be back to sharing some of my favorites posts on Fridays.
As much as I love creating and sharing what I've done, it is fun to be able to share what my friends and other bloggers are doing as well, and I'm so happy to be back at doing that. (In case you hadn't been following along before, my Friday Favorites posts were put on hold for about a month. Even though we all love Pinterest and sharing things we find interesting, some creators are not as interested in their images being shared and choose to sue bloggers over their use of pictures in posts. I took a few weeks to figure out how I wanted to continue with my Friday Favorites.)
Friday Favorites #28
Happy Friday!
This week started with a plan and a list of things I wanted to accomplish. But as typically happens, that plan was taken out of my hands and "altered." Needless to say, things that I wanted to get done didn't see completion. The downside of working part time as a substitute teacher is that when you most need an afternoon to snap some pictures and finish a DIY, you are called in unexpectedly to teach. But there is no sense in complaining, especially since it looks like those circumstances are going to continue into the upcoming week. So, posts may be a little sparse....Or maybe I'll surprise myself and get everything done. I guess you'll just have to wait and see!
Friday Favorites #27
Did you realize that today is Friday? It seems like just a few days ago that I typed the last Friday Favorite post and now the day has rolled around again. Don't get me wrong....I LOVE Fridays and anxiously anticipate the end of the week. But I just don't know where my time is going lately.
In case you didn't notice, today is my first post for the week aside from yesterday's link party. I've been in a real mid-winter funk lately and just can't seem to get motivated to blog (or do much of anything else). Anyone else feeling the same way? The worst part is that I even have a couple posts pretty much done.....I just couldn't work up the enthusiasm to finish them. There is always next week, I guess!
Friday Favorites #26
Today's post is going to be short and sweet. Thursday was and birthday, and I normally try to do this post then. But who wants to work on their birthday, right?!?! Luckily, I already had some favorites picked out so part of the job was already done.
My mom made me a fabulous turkey dinner (and yummy cheesecake) to celebrate. It is hard to believe I'm 32 because I don't feel that old. And I was told by someone last week that they thought I was 25, so I guess I don't look that old, either.
I hope you enjoy my slightly shortened post today and have a fabulous weekend. It sounds like it is going to be another frigid one in my neck of the woods, so I'm seeing a few days of curling up under a blanket in my future!
Friday Favorites #25
How are you surviving through this lovely winter weather? So much of the country seems to be having their fair share of snow, cold, and wind. The snow on the ground around my house is now as high as my porch, so any more snowfall and I'll be shoveling up onto a pile to get out of my house. And the snowplow piles are about twice that high. It could be so much worse, though, I suppose!
I'm really excited about all the things I've been seeing on Pinterest lately and have been pinning like crazy! So that I don't overwhelm my followers and so that each week's favorites can be a surprise, I have a secret Pinterest board just for my Friday Favorites. Right now it is so full of inspiration that I can take a break of a couple weeks away from searching.....but the liklihood of me staying off of Pinterest that long is pretty slim! If you're interested in following along with what I'm pinning, click here.
So, here are these week's ten favorites......
Friday Favorites #24
Well, yesterday ended up being another snowy day. Luckily there wasn't the ice in my town that some places saw, but the roads were still slick. And there were still crazy drivers, one of whom thought he might pull out in front of me. Slamming on my brakes made my car do a little sliding dance in the road, but luckily it was just a short dance without any collision. Believe me when I say that I turn into a ninety-year-old woman driver when the snow starts to cover the roadways and would prefer just to stay home.
That's enough weather talk for today, though. I'm trying my best to embrace the good things about winter.....hot chocolate.....cute scarves.....furry snow boots......pretty snow-capped trees......OK, I'm out.
Friday Favorites #23
I don't know about the weather where you are at, but it has been cold and snowy here. Today looks to be like it will be a clear day, though, so I'm rejoicing. Every clear day puts us one day closer to spring. Normally I'm much more in the mood to get projects done when the sun is shining!
This week just flew by. I can hardly believe that we are once again to Friday. I'll be back next week with a new series that I'm hoping you'll love, as well as a post on something that I'm doing to find a little joy in my day. Have a great weekend!
