5 On Friday

{one}

I ventured out to a mall to Bath and Body Works to stock up on my favorite scents of the season. I got the Leaves candles (they are amazing and make your house smell so yummy for fall!). I also had a coupon for a free product and chose Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin body cream. I dont usually like pumpkin stuff but this smells great! The have a coupon out right now for $10 off a $30 purchase. Google it :)

Exactly one month from today we will be at the beach. I am soooo ready! We are heading down to 30a. I swear I could live there!

We went to Minnesota in July and visited Joe's grandpa at his farm. He so generously gave us 2 vintage  milk crates and 2 chippy milk canisters. I LOVE them but they were way too big to bring back on my Delta flight :) Luckily Joe flew his plane up there this week and met his mom/step dad for lunch and brought them home. LOVE them!!!!

I know how lucky I am to have a hubby that is so handy. I can literally show him a picture on Pinterest and he will build it for me. I wanted a way to display sweet sally's art and saw some pictures I liked online. I showed it to him and he built me two frame. I attached the clips and they look so cute in our laundry room/pantry area. He is selling these now so if you want some, let me know.

I got some great thrifty finds this week. I grabbed a pillow that I plan to recover for the mudroom area and a book of sheet music. Sheet music you say?? Yes. I have plans....you'll see :) I also got a case of the small mason jars (perfect for individual desserts/salads at picnics) in the clearance section at Kroger. SCORE!!

P.S.

Today is my birthday and we have a whole weekend of fun planned...yay!!

Funny Friday

Thoughtful Thursday

Hello September!!

I seriously cannot believe it is already September. Summer came and went way too fast and fall is upon us. September is one of my favorite months. The weather starts cooling off, its my birthday month, and there are a lot of fun things to do in the Memphis area.

Here are some things on my calendar:

I joined MOPS and went to my first meeting. I sat with a girl that I already knew and everyone at my table was so nice. I really look forward to getting to know everyone better. We had a cute little bag (you know I LOVE Dr. Seuss!) filled with some goodies (I already managed to eat all of the Hershey kisses!), and a few folders full of info. about the upcoming year.

We made two crafts....a beaded name tag holder (which we left there) and a sugar scrub. I made a chocolate one.

My birthday is on Friday and I plan on celebrating with dinner out and probably some ice cream :)

Germantown Festival and Copper Young Festival....the next 2 weekends. I am there.

There are consignment sales galore and I hope to pick up some new toys for Miss Sally!

What do you have going on this month?

Summer Bucket List: Go To The Farmers Market

On Saturday morning Sally and I loaded up and headed downtown to the Farmers Market. You can find farmers markets all over the Memphis area, but in my opinion, the one downtown is just the BEST! They have dogs for adoption (and dogs are always cute!), gorgeous flowers and live music. I especially love going on a crisp fall morning with some warm apple cider in my hand. They normally have bluegrass music going and pumpkins everywhere and its one of my happy places.

I only ended up getting some flowers and Las Delicias chips but I would consider the trip successful. It was super hot but we had fun.

When I got home, I decorated one of Joe's boxes with my flowers that I got and added some from our yard as well. I LOVE it! Joe has been making and selling these boxes to people all over town. Let me know if you want one. The big ones (like this one) are only $20 and are perfect for your dining room table, mantle, etc. I cant wait to fill mine with mason jars and mini pumpkins!
