Friday Five

This is my final plea and mention of the Elizabeth McKay contest (last time to annoy you all). I am SO appreciative of the votes as they shot me into the lead, but it has gotten SO close not to mentioned heated and I still need your help. In fact, more now than ever as the contest ends at midnight tonight. Time is ticking! If you have a few seconds and can vote (remember it can be done from your phone or tablet so you can be on the go!) please, please, PLEASE help me out by for my photo voting here!! 
If you have already voted the good news is you CAN vote again and of course you can still vote for multiple people. Every vote counts and I need YOUR help to pull this one off! Keep them coming ladies and gents!!!

The weeks are flying by these days and summer is just around the corner. It is hard to believe I only have one more Friday Five after today's.... This week's Friday Five seems pretty cheerful in subjects and colors...let's see if you agree:

 
I have always loved all things Anna Griffin, but just noticed how large her invitation line has gotten. It could also be that no store I have been in carried so many options, but regardless is it SO darling and feminine. I loved the display Needle in a Haystack has going on (this was just one of three or four Anna Griffin shelves they have).

 
I won this clutch about a month ago in an online contest and simply ADORE it! It is the perfect size and holds everything I need (phone, keys, wallet and lip gloss). The pink color I won is vibrant and matches the majority of my wardrobe perfectly. I now have my eye on an orange as my next purchase.

 
3. Lilly Pulitzer Home at stelladallas
I went to the opening of stelladallas on Wednesday evening. While the company, food and macaron favors were delightful, the real show stopper was the Lilly Pulitzer home line. I had only seen these items in magazines and online so I was really looking forward to seeing them in person and they did not disappoint. If I had to pick one thing I think I would just go with some pillows. They add a punch of prep and color to your room without overdoing it.

 
4. Pink Goblets
I spotted these pink gobletss at Macy's last Sunday and just love them. I believe that they are Martha Stewart, but am not 100% sure and I was unable to find them online. I actually have water glasses in the same color and am thinking these goblets might be a good addition to my collection. They were $12 or $14 each so it is time to keep my eyes peeled for a coupon or sale I guess.

5. Growing Tomatoes
My little plants are getting strong and really growing. Since taking this photo I have spotted three more little fruits. I cannot wait until they ripen and I can start using them in salads and other dishes!

Have a lovely weekend! I am excited to be spending some time outside at the Byron Nelson and then catching up on my DVR and going to a flick or two in the theater too.

I love pink goblets! I found some at Anthropologie a few years ago and love them. Good job on the tomatos, we love ours, yum!

I've got the All-in-One Bag too, and LOVE it! I was torn between the orange and pink one too! Good luck on your tomatoes. I need to plant some. Tomato/Mayo sandwiches in the summer are the BEST!

What lovely things! Have a great weekend, and I hope you win the contest. :)

Growing tomatoes is the best. We have a little tomato forest in our garden!

The Lilly home collection looks amazing!! Is that store only in Dallas? I'll have to go there next time I'm in town!

I also love the Gigi All-In-One bag! I definitely plan on getting it soon!

I love that clutch, it does look like the perfect size! I saw a few pieces from the LP home line over the weekend in the window of a store in Wellesley, MA (sadly the store was closed for the day so I couldn't go in and see more)--but I especially loved the pillows. They could add some Lilly fun to almost anyone's decor so easily.
