Friday Favorites

As someone who has always been a lover of paper and stationary, yet is fairly new to snail mail-ing, here are my most recent loves that I would totally buy if I didn't give up shopping for lent. lol

1 // I love this little mail pad, so perfect for those quick letters. (via Urban Outfitters)

2 // Kraft paper envelopes are so cute when paired with white ink or stamps! (via Etsy)

3 // How adorable is this library themed notecard set?! Also comes in its own cute little drawer themed box. (via Modcloth)

4 // Totally new to snail mail-ing and have nothing to get started? This Stationary case includes all the essentials (and a cute whale too!). (via Kikk K)

Happy Friday my lovely readers! We have a play date in the park later this afternoon, so now we're going to have sushi for lunch (yummm!) and take a nap before the park. Did I mention, I love the weekends? Have a good one and hopefully you get the chance to soak up some sun!

Next Thursday marks the first day of Spring for this year. Are you ready? Here in Northern California we've been hitting temps of 70's this week, so it looks like things are warming up around here! Here are a couple of things to help you get ready for the warmer weather and the sunshine. (I know those of you with snow storms are sooo ready for it, right?)

1 // I don't know about you, but I'm ready to spend some time outside and let my little one run around when he's able to start walking. How 'bout this picnic blanket though? You'll come to see that I have a thing for stripes. Thinking about sewing my own picnic blanket after I tackle my first quilt. But we'll cross that road when we get there. LOL. (via Etsy)

2 // I have this thing with sunglasses where I feel like I need to try them on every time I see some in a store. I've always loved tortoise frames, they go with everything. (via Urban Outfitters)

3 // This floral print is perfect for pen pals and for spring. Just the perfect amount of color to break the wintery white season! Makes me want to bust out my watercolors and give it a try! (via Etsy)

4 // Time to shed those coats and sport some dresses! Pair this dress with a bright colored cardigan and you'd be good to go! This dress would also work well with some leggings in case your area hasn't realized that it's time for Spring. (via Modcloth)


This weekend I'll be working on a great blog post on how I put together my Project Life spreads and also be working on the quilt I started. I don't know how quilters on Etsy get them done so quickly! I am definitely learning as I'm going along, but I feel like it's going to take me forever to finish it, haha. I guess we'll see how far I get! Anywho, I'm ready to spend some QT with my loves so I hope everyone has a great weekend!

1 // Love this look for springtime. Wearing a crop top with a high waisted maxi skirt is on my to-try list. Also it's perfect for me, someone with #shortpeoplestruggles, because usually maxi skirts/dresses are too long for me. It's been in the high 60's this week in Northern California, I think winter skipped this region of the world. (via modcloth)

2// Inspired by modern quilts by Rad and Happy. Thinking of doing a plus design as my first quilt because I don't have to worry about cutting out triangles, haha. (via Etsy)

3// Love Danny Dek's Tumbler. It's full of script that just makes me want to bust out some sharpies and sketch. (via Tumblr)

4// Lusting over vintage typewriters. Hope to have one, one day. Would be great for snail mail and for project life. (via Etsy)

Hoping to start my very first quilt this weekend! Finally got the chance to wash the fabric I bought, now I just gotta iron, and start cutting!! Eeep! We'll see how far I get, our weekends are usually pretty busy and it seems like there is a never ending pile of laundry and chores that need to be done (#mommylife).

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have a good weekend!
