The Friday Files

Hello, dear friends.  Are you happy that it's Friday?  I am.  But I'm  even more excited about the fact that it will officially be Spring in 18 days.

I took a couple of pics on my walk yesterday.

I ran into some neighbors on my stroll.
They weren't in the mood to talk, though.

  

Do you see what I see?
It makes me so happy!

Speaking of happy, if this bedroom were mine, I would wake up with a big ol' smile on my face every morning.  Lots more stunning bedrooms can be found here.

Tory Burch has tapped its new foldable ballet flat as the ultimate walking shoe.  I never thought that their regular flat shoe was comfy, but I may have to give these a whirl.

This is Ember.  It is a coffee cup new on the market that is sold at Starbucks.  For a mere $150 buckaroos, Ember can be yours.  You may have to wait awhile because they are sold out in most stores.  For $300, you could buy me one too.

Woohoo!  TJX Cos. is opening 1800 new stores!  They are also opening a couple of Home stores that will be different than my beloved Homegoods. 

I knew 2017 was going to be a great year!

Feast your eyes on this renovated 19th Century dairy barn which was moved from Montana and reassembled stone by stone in Wyoming as a home.

I would definitely mooooove in.

Wowza!

This is some bathroom!  

You can tour the rest of Bill and Giuliana Rancic's Chicago pad here.

I've got good news for all you gardeners out there.  It's not only good for you physically but mentally, as well.

Do you want to know some of this beautiful lady's beauty secrets?  I've got them right here.

Your welcome.

I follow Grapevine Interiors on Instagram.  They are a local full-service design firm.  I love everything they do.

They are coming out with a line of therapeutic dog beds.  You can find out more info here: louisa@grapevineinteriors.com.

What a fiasco that Oscar show turned out to be!  I'm glad I went to bed.  I'm also happy that I wasn't one of the accountants. 

On the whole, I thought the dresses were beautiful.  The theme of the evening was less cleavage/more class.  This one was one of my favorites.

And if it has pockets, it's pure perfection.

Do you agree with the most iconic restaurant that was chosen for your state?

Even though I am not a whiz in the kitchen, I love to look at mouth-watering photos of food.  Sometimes I even send the pic to the Mister with a note that says... can you make this?

It was love at first sight when I spotted this cherry tomato and olive tart.

If you want to be the queen of the Easter Parade, these Cadbury Egg Cupcakes could be your ticket.

And how about these Bunny Ears Cupcakes... almost too cute to eat.

I said almost.

I found these two posts on Instagram.  

They remind me so much of my girls.

They loved their little car so much.

It was the object of many brutal battles.

Like this little girl, my #1 always came up with creative ideas for managing her baby sister's time.

Have a great weekend.

Until next time...
