Happy Friday everyone! This week, the last week in September (reeeally?!) went quickly and was full of windy weather, reunions and birthday celebrations. Overall, a pretty good week indeed. :) Here are my favorite finds from around the web this week! (Could I say week one more time. Oh wait I just did.)
Favorite memory maker: Index card journal. I am toootally starting one of these on Jan 1, and for my children when we have them!!
Favorite splurge: Bikini Killers. I can’t get over this name…or this idea!!!
Favorite clever idea: Google Maps Envelopes. The only caveat is your addressee has to live to the east of you…
Favorite seasonal decor idea. Keep the frames and just change out the letters depending on what season it is. Super cute mantle decoration?
Favorite Dining Concept: Outstanding in the Field. You guys. This is the coolest thing EVER!!!!
From their site:
Our mission is to re-connect diners to the land and the origins of their food, and to honor the local farmers and food artisans who cultivate it.
Outstanding in the Field is a roving culinary adventure – literally a restaurant without walls. Since 1999 we have set the long table at farms or gardens, on mountain tops or in sea caves, on islands or at ranches. Occasionally the table is set indoors: a beautiful refurbished barn, a cool greenhouse or a stately museum. Wherever the location, the consistent theme of each dinner is to honor the people whose good work brings nourishment to the table.
Ingredients for the meal are almost all local (sometimes sourced within inches of your seat at the table!) and generally prepared by a celebrated chef of the region. After a tour of the site, we all settle in: farmers, producers, culinary artisans, and diners sharing the long table.
Favorite acceptable frozen meal: Kashi Mayan Harvest Bake. I had this cough twice cough for lunch this week. It is unbelievably delish.
Favorite giggle. OMG.
Favorite kitchen item. I squealed when I saw this. It’d go perfect with my pink Kitchen Aid stand mixer!
Favorite sweet treat: Apple Toffee Blondies. I link to this blog almost every Friday. This is why ↓
Favorite inexpensive DIY decor. Dollar store wicker balls + a string of Christmas lights. No glue or anything else necessary!
Favorite dainty ring. Beautiful.
Favorite easy DIY artwork. Canvas + masking tape + spray paint = EASY!
Favorite bite: Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries. Try and tell me your mouth doesn’t water at the sight of this picture!!
Favorite Couple: Jim & Pam. 8 years later and still making my heart go pitter patter. :)
Favorite Outfit Accent. The colors in here are mesmerizing and I loooove, love, love lockets. So sweet. :)
Favorite lazy lounging place. I will build my future dream home around this couch!
Favorite secret spot: Phuktal Monastary – Yugar, Zanskar. Blows my mind that places like this exist around the world.
Favorite idea. Why didn’t I think of that?! ;)
Favorite cozy glow: Tissue Paper covered hurricanes. Don’t you love the soft, warm light?
Favorite witty pup. May I trouble you for a cup of tea and a scone, hmmm?
Have a great weekend everyone! Supposed to be a beautiful one around here! :)

What are some of your favorite finds from this week?
Going to recreate lots of these ideas and recipes…btw I still love Jim and Pam too. :)
The huge lazy couch is amazing! We are wanting to do a movie room and that would be perfect! Where did you find it!?
These Friday Favorite posts have definitely become my favorite posts of yours – I’m looking forward to the next one! :)
The Apple Toffee Blondies look delicious and I love Izze sodas.
I love this post! I’ve been so into DIY lately and pinned half of these ideas on my Pinterest account!
I love the index card idea! Since the first year might be kind of boring, I’m thinking it might be fun to do it monthly as well the first year (i.e., you have one card for the 1st of the month, another for the 2nd, etc…).
I love this post, so many great ideas!
That index card journal is so cute, I want to make one :-)
And the outdoor dining looks amazing, where can I sign up?
Definitely want to try both the Apple Toffee Blondies and the Baked Garlic Parmesan Fries, they look delicious!
Omg, those Bikini Killers look so so fantastic! Can’t wait to whip up a batch or three. :)
yay! awesome list. What kinda puppy is that?
I think it’s a dachshund!
Love the framed letter idea, cannot wait to get to the craft store! My favorite “find” of the week, Malibu Rum, Orange Pineapple Juice, with a splash of cranberry juice and a splash of lime. Makes me think of some place warm and sunny as the weather gets colder by the minute.
Loving the index card box, the cookies and the masking tape canvas….I might have to steal these!!!
Your next big trip should be to Greece to see the Meteora Monastery – It’s pretty much Unbelievable. It was so crazy – and we couldn’t take pictures so i don’t have many… but it was so cool.
