Loves on a Thursday-Dreaming

Lately it always feels like there is something to push through. Something to figure out. Some problem that needs attention.

I've been longing for a break, a little getaway to refuel and hopefully come back clear headed. I am hoping and wishing for a beach trip this long weekend...we'll see what happens!

For now all I can do is dream and drool at some peaceful, tranquil soothing photos....

Loves on a Thursday-Bead & Bauble Heaven

Happy Thursday! So many things to be happy for lately...now if only I could wrap my head around all my thoughts and actually produce a decent inspiring blog post! One day...I promise...

Today however I want you all to meet my Co-host, Sarah from The Linley House blog! Please give her some love and check out what is making her smile this week!



I have been going gaga for beads, and although I am not a 'beader', I think I may have invested a small fortune is some pretty sweet beads lately...shh...don't tell my husband! I will be using some with strands of fabric for a few upcoming creations in my shop and I have already made a few necklaces for myself that might actually make it into the shop as well...not 100% sure yet...but maybe...

Here are some bead-alicious creations I discovered on Etsy...

If your anything like me and love to drool over pretty interiors, you need to take a little yonder over there and snoop around. Plus, you need to go see what she's loving this week too!

Thank you to everyone that emailed about the L.O.A.T hosting position! I've contacted most of you and just wanted to let the rest of you know that there are BIG changes (all good!) happening for L.O.A.T...but you'll have to wait a little bit to find out! Just another reason to keep coming back week after week, hehe!

Today is a pretty special day around here!

A certain little boy came bouncing into our lives 4 years ago...

Loves on a Thursday-RETURNS!

First things first though, Colleen, my ole' partner in crime is busting out some pretty fabulous things for her new shop and is rather busy, soooo, she's decided to step away from our weekly gathering. 

What does this mean for Loves on a Thursday? 

It means that I am on the look out for a permanent co-host! 

Do you love curating pretty collections? Are you and energetic and punctual blogger?! Email me! I am opening it up to you guys to nominate yourself if you think this would be up your alley! The ideal candidate should have a strong blog following and be up to date on social media. You must also be committed to posting weekly Loves on a Thursday posts. I can't wait to hear from you!

OK, so I've fallen for pastels...again...I am seriously crushing on these pretty shades!

Loves on a Thursday-Outdoor Parties & Decor

Hehey! The last few days in my part of the world the weather has been fantastic and then...it rained. Then it snowed. Blah...so sick of this!!! Bring on the sunshine! So ye, Lately I have been day dreaming out pretty spring dresses. Flip flops, manicured toes, afternoons lounging on the deck. Flowers blooming...you know, all that happy stuff!! I'd also love to give our backyard a bit of a face lift. Don't get me wrong, I love our backyard. But it just needs some finishing off and a good place to store toys. Oh, so many toys...Plus, I want to party again!!! Mike and I used to throw amazing summer parties prior to kids and I would love to get back to that now that the boys are a bit older. We have a big anniversary coming up-10 years in July{btw have you entered my blogging anniversary giveaway?}and I would love to have a little soiree ;)


So, Colleen is taking a little break today BUT we have Krystal from Krystal's Kitsch hanging out with us! Please give her a warm welcome and check out what she's loving this week!

Please welcome our Guest Host this week, Krystal, who hangs her hat at Sunny Soirees and Krystal's Kitsch! So happy to have you here with us! Head on over and spread some love and check out what is inspiring her this week :)

This week has been busy... design work, regular work, random diy projects, planning birthdays, cleaning, waiting around for the money tree to grow, you know...the usual.

On a side note, I just read this post...about the reality behind a blogger's on screen life. You should go read it :) I find myself trying to project a pretty and perfect life, when in reality it's far from perfect, but still so perfectly imperfect, that it's perfectly fabulous...you know? Beneath all the smoke and mirrors...this is my spot to day dream, inspire and capture the 'little' moments. The stuff that makes life good :)

Anyway...my loves this week include...

1//Rustic Stacking Rings
2//Silver Arrow Necklace
3//Coconut Strawberry Lime Smoothie
4//Business Card Holder
5//Super Adorable Shoes

Loves on a Thursday-Nope, not Spring yet...

Good morning friends :)

 Unfortunately, my partner in crime for L.O.A.T, Colleen, is taking a break from LOAT this week due to some personal things. PLEASE, PLEASE send all your warm thoughts, hugs, and prayers her way to help her family through a tough time...

My loves are quick this week and mostly spring related, because well, it's spring and I am yet to see it out my window...

Fun with Photoshop- kinda cool for those of us that like to fool around with layers and effects in PS!



I'll take all of it please!

Kinda loving anything that would go under a jean jacket lately, like this dress, too bad it's a little outta my price range!
