THIS FABULOUS FRIDAY, I HAVE FOUND…
“It’s So Fabulous!” Design Favorites of the Week: This week, we have been learning about Staffordshire pieces, and although I have shared several pictures of my personal collection, I saved my 2 very favorite pieces for Fabulous Friday! Here are they are….
This piece is actually quite tiny... not more than a few inches high. I treasure him so much for a few reasons. First my husband purchased him for me as a very special gift, and I actually ended up using him as the sole inspiration for my son's first bedroom design! Second, this little guy is not just a figurine, but he is also a whistle! So FABULOUS!
The large figurine in the back of this grouping is one of my all-time favorites. He is just such a charming gentleman, isn't he?!
“It’s So Fabulous!” Gift Idea of the Week: I have been told a time (or one-hundred!) that I am a difficult person to buy gifts for!? However, I recently received an absolutely FABULOUS and CREATIVE gift from a dear friend that I am so excited to share with all of you.
At first glance, you might assume that this is simply a beautiful pillow. However, upon closer investigation, you may be able to tell that it was once a scarf that my sweet friend had made into a custom pillow sham! Isn't that a FABULOUS gift idea?
“It’s So Fabulous!” Inspiring Nature Photo of the Week: This photo is actually one that a friend shared with me after returning from a camping trip. I thought it was such a peaceful scene. And after all, who can’t use a little more serenity in their life, right? Exhale….
The reflection of light off of the water is so calming. I can almost hear the frogs croaking their songs.
“It’s So Fabulous!” Recipe of the Week: As many of you may already know, I am a bit of a health food addict, and as a result, my youngest daughter, Grayanna, has started eating healthy, as well. When we dine at the restaurant in our local health food store, she typically orders the all-natural peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Her love for this delicious lunch made me wonder if she would possibly enjoy this new recipe I found for PB&J Muffins…. Hmmmm…. Definitely worth a shot! Drop me a comment and let me know if you have a chance to try this recipe before I do! (Found at www.Deliciouslivingmag.com).
