Things To Love Friday

Here are some things I have been loving all over this week:



Pancake Parties!




Everything looks better on a Cake Plate




Boat Shoe Love







Homemade Chalkboard Paint! (I need to add this to my chalk board dream)






Indoor Potted Citrus Trees!


I am excited for this weekend because unlike last weekend I am not working! Saturday I am going to Santa Cruz for some shopping, eating, and drinking by the pool and Sunday I am seeing my first Giants game of the season in SF! What are your weekend plans?

    Sounds like a great weekend! Enjoy the sun and wear sunscreen! :)

    Love the boat shoes. So preppy. My mom would have get a kick out of that statement. I wouldn't have been caught dead in them 5 years ago.

    Homemade chalkboard paint?!!! Brides - you should do it. I would have. That's so brilliant! And I've always loved Ashley Meaders work (first pic) - so versatile and who doesn't love little pancake flags?

    Your weekend sounds awesome! I'm working on some craft projects, watching The Masters, and dog sitting a little rascal.

    Happy weekend, sweetie!

    Love the pancakes! So cute! I'm singing in a choir concert this weekend, and the new President of my college is being inaugurated today. Should be a good time.

    Oooohh, I would be so thrilled if my potted citrus trees ever look like those!

    Our weekend plans include the husband's tennis match and a trip to Ikea. :)

    Such a great post! It's true about cake stands, love the boat shoes, and absolutely have it on my to-do list to get chalkboard paint, you know, so I can write out my to-do lists :)

    Have so much fun in Santa Cruz and SF - two of my favorite places!

    Those pancakes are the cutest (and sweetest too)! Never thought of having a pancake party. And that photo of the boat shoes? Sweet. Been wanting to snap a photo like that for quite a while now - totally not the main point I know. But I've an affinity for shoe shots like those.

    Have a lovely weekend!

    p.s: stopped by from {Where We Love} Happy Hour.

    Boat shoes love indeed! I am looking for a great pair right now, but might have to wait until I am back in the states. They are just too perfect for summer :)
