HAPPY FRIDAY people! Any big plans for the weekend? We have NO plans and I’m actually really excited about that. Aren’t you impressed I’v finally managed to get my Friday links up on FRIDAY??? (Seems like I’ve been doing them on Saturday lately) OK guys, it’s time to check out some fun linkies.

1. ADLER FOR PENNIES.


JC Penney is trying to go Target, with cute lines from designers like Marchesa and Jonathan Adler. The Adler “Happy Chic” line is really cute—and way more affordable than his “main” line of goodies. Bedding, kitchenware and much much more. See it here.

2. SILLY SELFIES

This is hilarious. Selfless Portraits is an art project where strangers across the world draw each other’s Facebook profile pictures. My friend John’s illustrations are awesome….or as he says, “awesomely humbling”. See the entire gallery here.

3. TREE TOT AWESOMENESS

Oh yes….the guy who wrote this Tree Tots profile is totally my kinda guy!! Read more about the glorious Tree Tots here.

4. HANGING CANDY

How cute is this candy filled garland?? See how to make it here.

5. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES

My friend Rusty’s little girl Scarlet is awesome. While only in 2nd grade she wrote this excellent guide on “How to Be a Cool Person.” It totally made me smile. Read it at Laughing Squid here.

6. LOVE THIS HOME

Isabelle’s beautiful home is colorful and comfy. See more here.

7. TANGY & TASTY

Emma is cooking up so many tasty treats these days. This wasabi parmasean edamame looks SO GOOD. See how here.

8. SNURK HAS SNARK

No one likes making their bed, but if they had cool bedding like this, I think they would! Each piece has some clever little twist. LOVE. Straight from the Netherlands  See them all here.

9. BANANAS FOR MAD MEN.

While I was a little late to the party,  I ADORE Mad Men. I was intrigued to hear of the Mad Men inspired line of clothing at Banana Republic, but I was even more intrigued to read Carlos’ post on whether this take on “mod” is authentic or not! It’s a great read. Check it out here at Mod Male! 

10. KATE’S KEDS.
I love these cute Kate Spade for Keds sneaks….especially the pointy toed ones.

Oh yes! It’s the weekend people!! We are having another vintage blow out sale (things are priced to SELL friends!! See the next post for all the details, if you are a local….). Even though it was a busy week, there were a bunch of things that caught my eye. Take a gander, and have a most excellent weekend! xoxo

1. UNO

I’m loving this clever/cool idea for kiddo art over on Small Fry.

2. DOS

Color with Mimi has these really fun printable coloring pages. SO cute.

3. TRESS

They had me at “carmelized apple cider vinaigrette”. YUM. See more here.

4. QUATRO

Lately I’ve seen lots of “A Photo a Week of my Children” series, which I think are so special. But I was very charmed by Ashley’s clever take on it. A Photo a Week of her husband! When you have kiddos it’s easy to put your relationship on the back burner (life gets consumed with diapers and feedings and consoling little ones and just all around silly play time). I thought this was a really beautiful way to stay connected. See more over here.

5. CINCO

These Swan Lake shoes were The Shoes of Tomorrow in 1957. LOVE! See more past future shoes HERE. (via Honey Kennedy)

6. SEIS


This is so stinkin’ clever. You can recycle/reuse old glass bottle and jars—but give them a wee face lift with the Snug Vase! Get yours here.

7. SIETE

Dottie shared this fun link with me. The New York Times blog “The City Room” has been holding a “Kids Draw the News” contest, where they ask children to draw the latest headlines. It’s SO charming and sweet. I would have been allll over this when I was a kiddo! These photos were for a story about a runaway zebra.  See more here.

8. OCHO

This cracked me up. A family took a group portrait that was special to them….and within a year or so, the son got a divorced. His mom wanted to remove the ex-wife from the photo (apparently it wasn’t a pleasant divorce) and had someone do some photoshop wizardry on the pic. Instead of holding the arm of the ex-wife, she’s holding a beer! HAH! Read about it here.

9. NUEVE

I mean….what’s to say about Awesome Soul Train GIFS but OH YES. See tons more here.

10. DIEZ. BONUS VIDEO

I think this British commercial with Audrey Hepburn is extremely charming. It’s getting mixed reviews (using her likeness when she isn’t alive etc) but her sons said she adored chocolate and they though she would have approved of it (as did they, since they are in charge of her estate). I think it’s rather tastefully done! (I like it so much more than that Audrey GAP ad from years back.)
