fff vol 61


Favorite finds from the past week:


Etsy find of the week:


I don't actually usually use a bag/purse. I throw my wallet in my pocket and am on my way. But this bag is really gorgeous. The craftsmanship is amazing. I'm always in awe at fabulous sewing skills. While I have a nice machine and can sew, I don't really have the patience for it. I never took the time to really get good at it. So when I see amazing handmade items like this, I'm in awe and jealous of their skills. This shop actually has shoes too. Their entire Etsy shop is fabulous.


Please can I move in?


I am craving spring to hurry up and get here. Next week it is finally supposed to be "spring weather". I want to get working on our gardens and back yard makeovers. This backyard is stunning. If this were my backyard, I don't know if I would ever leave it!


Get in my belly!


I've been so busy lately that I havent really found the time to bake. (which is probably a good thing for my waistline!) But these look so yummy..and they have fruit..so that doesn't count as bad-for-me food right?!


Tee shirt of the week:


I am completely smitten with this tee shirt. It looks so soft and cozy. And I always love aged looking shirts. This is definitely on my "buy list". They have soooo many great shirts. I need to watch my wallet when I order!


I have a feeling this weekend is going to be a whirlwind. Farmers market, working some extra hours for my day job, making soaps and creating new products for the shop, working on our gardens (weather permitting), finishing touches to The Hive now being on Facebook - check me out here the list keeps growing.

What are you all up to this weekend? Is it finally showing signs of spring where you are? Have a great weekend everyone!

it's been pouring ll day here and only in the high 30's so we'll see what the weekend brings, fingers crossed it starts getting nicer

xx
Busy weekend indeed!! Yay for the farmers market being back.

I love that bag. It's gorgeous. I only use purses that sling across my body. You won't catch me holding a handbag. That's just annoying! I couldn't stand having my wallet in my pocket either, though. Ick!

farmers market isn't back outside (every weekend) until May 4th - this one is still the winter market we go to - it's only twice a month.

i usually wear like army type pants - pocket goes in a side pocket and you can't feel it ;) or i put it in my jacket pocket. i have a cute tokidoki bag that i use when i go places during the summer without a jacket - its a sling across my body type messenger bag deal.
That bag is so awesome! I was the exact same way, wallet in my pocket, until I started biking last year. Now I love big hobo purses, messenger bags and backpacks. :D That outdoor area... sooooooo dreamy!!! Also, I love that t-shirt. It's been exactly what I have been looking for!

yup wallet in pocket or messenger bag- always been my style =)

isn't that shirt perfect? its definitely on my must buy asap list!
Oohh there's the pictures! (I couldn't see them earlier.. seems to be a 'bug' going around blogs recently)... we sound the same about sewing - I see things I WANT.. and dream of making.. but know it won't be nearly as awesome if I attempt it.. especially a big cool purse/bag! I have an owl 'burlap bag' for my purse 24/7.. love it.
Ohhh I'm so ready for spring already.. anything green has me green with eagerness for it. So, of course, its been freezing rain/hail/power outages here so far this weekend! ugh.
Hoping for a better time tomorrow.. need to paint with some real 'light' outside!
have a good one Don .. I mean, Trisha!! lol
