High Five For Friday!

Well, it's been a great week.  With the 4th of July providing an extra opportunity to hang out with family and ample time to have some DIY fun, I'm a very happy camper.  It's weeks, days, hours like these that make me feel incredibly blessed...for so many things.  And even though I need to work on feeling this way through all times (even through the hard stuff), there have been days this week where I have thought to myself, is this really my life?  I have been just so completely happy and full.  It's nice to feel this way.  Utterly happy.

I have some fun things coming up on the blog for you next week.  Of course, I will be posting some entries this weekend, but next week we're talking easy ways to decorate with seashells, a Pinterest Challenge project that I completed, another Nancy Meyers movie interior (if you missed the first one, click here), and an easy-peasy (and inexpensive!) DIY summertime wreath.  It'll be fun -- so I hope you come back here to join me!  ;-)

Today I'm linking up with Lauren from From My Grey Desk with my High Five For Friday post.  :-)  Head on over to her lovely blog to join in on the fun!

High Five For Friday

I kept my birthday flowers alive for another week -- aren't they pretty?
Sadly, they started to look a little lopsided yesterday...

And then they started to shed...

They are on their last leg, but I'm proud of myself for keeping them alive for as long as I have.  That never happens!

Our 4th of July celebration at my sister-in-law's house!

The chalkboard in their kitchen was perfectly festive.

We sat here and ate yummy barbecued ribs, watermelon, corn, coleslaw, and potato salad.  Nummers.

Their doggy Tater celebrated with us, too.  ;-)

My hubby comes home for lunch in the afternoons -- one of the perks of working right down the street from our home!  ;-)  I am loving cooking for him.

I got a little festive with my outfit on the 4th.  Red and white polka dot top with blue shorts.  Around mid-afternoon, it started to rain, so I switched the top to a blue and white button-up and topped the look off with a swipe of red lipstick.

I finally bought the Anthropologie table runner I have been swooning over for the past nine months.  You can read more about that here.

What was your favorite part of this week?

love,
maria

High Five For Friday

This week, I am joining in on the fun over at From My Grey Desk and writing a High Five For Friday post!  Thanks for being the host, Lauren!  You are awesome!  :-)

Here are five of my favorite things from the past week...


   





1. Getting to snuggle in bed on a Friday and check in with my favorite blogs.  A great way to start the morning.

2. Organizing all of my magazine tear sheets and putting them inside of my very own DIY coffee table book.  

3. Finding a new home for my upholstered bench.  Next week I plan to begin the search for some different fabric -- we're changing up the colors in the living room...finally!

4. An outfit pairing that I loved.  My Damier Louis Vuitton with pretty thrift-store animal-print flats.

5. Neutral nails for summertime.  I don't paint my nails often, so this was a nice change of pace.

Happy Friday!

love, maria
