Friday Five

Another Friday has arrived which means it is time for another Friday Five. Here is what I have been loving this week:

1. Karen Adams Easel Calendar

My mother gave me this calendar set last year and I simply LOVED it. I was so excited that she gave me the refills again this year as I had looked for them everywhere in Dallas in October and they were already sold out. The photo does not do this lovely justice. Each month has a different icon and a little bit of sparkle to brighten even the dreariest of days.

2. NEW Elizabeth McKay Scotland Dress


The Scotland became a staple in my closet long before I met its' wonderful creator. I bought the Red Dancing Elephants dress when in NYC and LOVE it. I am a real sucker for anything with elephants. I have never thought I was a red girl, but this dress is slowly making me change my ways.


3. Valentine's Candy


Though my Target still has yet to put all their Valentine's treats out I have spotted some pink sweets when out and about. I can hardy wait to stock pile these goodies and fill my apothecary jars with new items in preparation for February 14th.
4. Glitter Shoes


With a fun soiree on the calendar next Saturday night I am all about the glitter shoes right now. In fact, I am so in love with the look but not so much the price tag that I plan to make my own pair this weekend. Stay tuned for a DIY yourself recap next week!



5. The Hunger Games


I saved the best for last. If you have not read this series quit telling everyone that recommends it to you that you are not into SciFi. That was me for two years, but I finally gave in and am HOOKED. These books will suck you in at any age and keep you up all night. I am still Team Prim and Peeta! If you have an electronic reader, you can download these this weekend through Barnes and Noble (kobo) and save 30%. Use code jan12us30 to save (one code per customer).

I used a DIY glitter technique from Pinterest a couple weeks ago. The shoes turned out cute, but the glitter flaked off everywhere! I'm interested to see how you make yours, and perhaps I'll try again. Let us know how it goes!

Definitely Team Peeta from the beginning. I don't know if you've read all 3 books yet, but let me tell you, I never changed my mind about that! They are definitely meant to be together. I can't wait for the movie to come out!
