{TGIF Peeps}

Check out some of the links that I've been lovin' on this week:

- Wool and the Gang! I love this idea of getting a full kit to make a scarf, hat, etc. You'll be seeing this again in my Christmas Gift Guides, starting during the week of November 28th

- Speaking of Christmas Guides - check out Goop's...

- The next time I give flowers, I will package them like this...

- Do I love my Addison enough to make these for her? You bet I do!!!

- I love these but I can't find them in my size - maybe David will be able to...

- Wouldn't this, this and this make the cutest holiday cards? I'm definitely keeping this in my back pocket for when my Prince arrives on his white horse...

- Finally as you have a little down time this weekend - be sure to check out Lonny's Holiday issue...I know I will be!

Enjoy your weekend!!!

{Proof of a Lovely Weekend}

Since I dedicate my Monday posts to the Blog of the Week - today I thought I would share with you some of the pictures from my weekend. Every Friday I post about my weekend plans, but very seldom do I give you a report of the happenings. So today...here's a glimpse of lovely weekend:

Durham Farmers Market

Fosters Market

One of my favorite places to visit in Durham is Foster's Market - created by Sarah Foster, a former associate of Martha Stewart. Not only is the food excellent but the place is also just a great place to hang out and relax. They have vintage candy too!!!!
