five things...

 

well it's after 8p and i'm just posting this, but hey at least it's friday : )

 

 

braids

i am obsessed with braids!!  i mean look at that hair!  i've been growing my hair out for like 3 years just so i can braid it again!!  i try each week to make it work, but this week it finally worked!!  i can braid my hair again, it's not this pretty but it's getting there.

 

 

skeleton keys

i love finding super fun skeleton keys!  they are just so neat, and all the history that you just don't know.  mysterious little things aren't they?  this one can be found in my shop.

 

 

surprise packages

i love to send out packages!!  that is no secret, but i really, really love sending out packages when the receiver isn't expecting one!!  there is just something special about snail mail.  this one went out today.  do you ever send secret packages?

 

 

screenprinting

this started out as a hobby, when my hobby turned into a business.  but it has now turned into work as well.  but it's cool...i love doing it!  this is a new shirt in the works for greythread.  i love capturing something onto fabric forever!!

 

 

words

this is definitely my go to for everything good or bad!  i've found myself telling myself and others this a lot more lately!  i do trust that even if i make decisions or detours God knew i was going to.  and if he is the one who opens the door for us it will be.

 

 

on a side note i'd like you all to take a look at my nomination for martha stewart's american made awards.  the voting doesn't start until september 7, and i have to make it through a round of judging.  but you should still keep it on your radar : )

click here . nomination

 

well that's it for this week!!  i hope you all have a great weekend!!



five things...

this fridays favorites are...

 

wood crates

I am thinking of building a few of these to work into my craft show display.  i love the rustic look.  i'm thinking i'll add nails to hold necklaces...yes??

or better yet...does anyone have any they want to give me : )

this place

i pinned this photo on pinterest a while back, and i just keep going back to it!!  isn't it so beautiful?  we live in a townhouse {i thought it was the right thing to buy} so we don't have an area for a hammock.  oh but if we did, this is where you would find me!!

coffee and doughnut cupcakes

oh my gosh!!  i haven't made these yet, but don't think for one second that i don't plan to as soon as wedding season is over {i'm busy!!}. are you already drooling??  well i am!!

 

this quote + photograph

1. the photograph is obviously beautiful. 2. i love this quote!!  it's so, so true!!

 

rain

we've been having pop up storms this week!!  i love summertime storms.  the chill they bring, the water, the thunder, and the out of control lightning!!  i snapped this photo in the grocery store parking lot yesterday, just to remind me that God controls all of the out of control.  He is always there, to bring you through the storm.

ps...this puddle was a good 4in deep!!

most of this weeks favorites are pins from my boards.  there are just so many wonderful things in this world, and i'm so glad pinterest keeps them all in one place!!  if you are on pinterest leave me a link to your boards and i'll follow!!

i've been thinking about offering packaging supplies in my shop greythread.  is that something anyone would be interested in?  such as kraft boxes, bakers twine, and washi tape...since everyone seems to really love these items!!

Five Things...

This weeks five favorite things are...

The Rifle Paper Co.

I recently purchased a sticker booklet from Anthropologie, so of course being the curious gal that I am I looked up to brand!!  And let me tell you I'm obsessed!!  Hello...they have Scottie dog notecards!!

Package Exchange

I recently signed up to do my first package exchange!!  I signed up at Oh Hello Friend, if you want to watch for the next one she host!!  My partner did not disappoint!  I received my package today and was so excited!!  I will post more on this later, She should get hers today, I certainly hope I don't disappoint her : )

Shop Displays

If is no secret if you know me, or follow me on pinterest, that I one day want to have my own shop!!  Well Pinterest offers so many pieces of inspiration.  Take this one for example!!  Come on, what's not to love!!

Vintage Goodies

It's also no secret that I am a Junkie collector.  I love stuff!!  I found these super old light bulbs last week at an antique store.  I am so obsessed and keep trying to find things to do with the ones I bought.  Here is the link to this necklace!!

Snickers Ice Cream

Okay, I am allowed to have a silly favorite right??  I've loved these since the first time I tasted them!!  And I don't even like the candy bar, weird I know!!  But over the past few weeks, probably because I think its 200 degrees here, I can't stop eating them!!  I think I've gained 10 lbs!!

What are you in love with right now?  I'd love to hear about it!!
