Friday Faves

{ditto}

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone is enjoying the gray, rainy weather that has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest. I have to admit, I’ve been pretty excited to dig out my sweaters, raincoats, and Hunter boots this week (driving in the torrential downpours, however, not so much).  The forecast looks like more of the same for the next few days, so I hope your weekend plans include lots of fun indoor activities (building a fire in the fireplace, carving pumpkins, maybe making lasagna or apple crisp).  In the meantime, some links and pics to get you to 5 pm a little sooner (hopefully!). Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

• So glad it’s finally baked potato weather

• If you haven’t gotten into Serial yet, you need to start asap.
• Can’t wait to make this

So, we made it through another week.  It’s been sunny and gorgeous and HOT here for the past few days, so I can’t complain, but I’m heading to the beach with some friends this afternoon and the forecast is mid-sixties and rain. Gotta love the Pacific NW!  I was in Spokane last weekend for my cousin’s college graduation and to see some friends – I attended law school at Gonzaga so it was fun to go back and to see how much has changed.  Luckily some things haven’t, like my favorite bar at the Davenport Hotel…or my old apartment, which was huge and beautiful and somehow only cost $495 a month.  Sigh.

Some fun links and pics from the week.  Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. xoxo

• I would like someone to make this salad for me for lunch today
• Fun Instagram tips (you know I love me some Instagram!)
• Watermelon popsicles
•  I need a new bag for all my weekend trips this summer – how cute is this one?
• Food halls of NYC – this makes me want to plan a trip back!

Friday Faves

TGIF, everyone! It’s a week before Valentine’s Day, and I have yet to do or make anything fun and festive. This week was taken up by post-Superbowl celebrations, including the parade (of course).  We spent four glorious hours in the freezing cold to cheer on our Superbowl champs, and now I have the cold to prove it.  Hopefully I’ll have my act together in time for next Friday – I have two types of brownies and two types of cookies on my to do list, and I’m going to be at a bachelorette party all weekend, so wish me luck!

Last year’s Valentines brownies and cookies.

‘Tis the season for gifting flowers.

Dying to try these Nutella cookies.

This website will make sending Valentine’s cards so much easier.

Great idea for a Valentine’s gift.

Love this lip crayon in Roman Holiday.

I just downloaded this book – can’t wait to read it.

And my favorite images of the week:

Happy Friday, guys! Happy (early) Valentine’s Day, and Go Hawks!!
