Friday Feature: Lemons & Loves
Thank you all for your sweet comments this week & for delurking with something of a gusto!
It’s been a long week – Mister and I have been running off our feet, we haven’t had an evening in since last Saturday- and as a homebody who needs home time, in bed, reading, to feel sane? I’ve been crawling into bed at about 10:00 pm every night.
The relentless cold has the puppies driven half mad from being inside, so they’ve decided that as they have energy to burn by the end of the day, they’ll go to sleep on time but they’ll be waking up at 5 AM. And barking.
This week I’ve needed some pretty things to make me happy. Here is what I’ve fallen most in love with:
Yellow Blossoms Clasp Clutch $60 {Jenniferladd via Etsy}
I think that this clutch would add sufficient sunniness to any day, even if I was under caffeinated.
I love you more than (blank) {via Blogger}
This blog is kind of like Post Secret versus microblogging and cotton candy. There are more things that fill in the blank than you would think.
Milk Glass Based Wedding Cake Stand $23 {Songbirdcafe via Etsy}
I would make vegan cupcakes everyday if I owned this beautiful thing. And it would be too much fun for photography. I bet Mal would fit on that sucker.
An Amazing Smile {via The Sartorialist}
Beautiful outfit and a dreamy expression on her face. I would like to take her place in my pocket.
Weekly Planner $24 {via Papaya Art}
The new planner I bought for myself this week! Nilsa posted about this shop last week and I couldn’t resist. And I can’t wait to get it!
I hope your puppies are letting you sleep in – and have a great weekend either way!
LOVE that clutch! I adore how bright and cheery it is! Great find!
my puppy always lets me sleep in. unless i’m sleeping too late and her back teeth are floating because she has to pee so badly. poor jers.
guess what cutie pie? i gave you an award. :)

congrats on winning best blog design, kyla!
Thanks for stopping by! My pups are losing their minds…right along with mine thanks to this bitter cold (with NO SNOW, might I add). We are in desperate need of sunny days filled with dog park visits and romps in the yard. Or at least romps in the snow, for crying out loud!
I hear ya on the puppies! Gary the kitten loves to play (lick, bite, claw) with our toes about 4am or 5am. Always exactly 45 min before the alarm goes off. Too late to go back and get a good sleep.
If we lock him out of the room he wines and scratches the carpet under the door waking us up. Needless to say, it’s like having an infant who can’t sleep through the night! Not looking forward to it.
alas, i’m not twenty something but if i were… i’d definitely vote for you. your blog just keeps getting better every time i drop in and the design is fabulous. the only problem? i don’t have enough time to stop by as much as i’d like to :)
I love the clutch. Love.
This is why I’m afraid of Etsy. I would spend every dime I make.
I’m so excited that you bought that planner! I love Papaya Art. I have their file folders, notebooks, and a few sets of note cards. They have such beautiful things!
(my puppy woke me at 5am this morning! ugh!)
My puppy is NOT letting me sleep in, which is really aggravating since I go to bed late (and she likes to wake up EARLY.) I’m hoping that we can do more physical activities this week since it’s warmed up a little.
Also, I love that planner! Do you own it?
I just wanted to thank you for the link to papayaart.com. I’ve been looking for a new planner and haven’t found any that I love. Thanks to you that might be all about to change!
(Good luck in the awards! I’ve voted for you for “best blog design!”) Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much for adding my clutch to your “wish list”!! It was so nice to read everyone’s sweet comments about it. I think it’s one of those creations that will make me just a little bit sad when it sells. Part of me just wants to keep it for myself!
:)
Love that bag! And I discovered “i love you more than” blog earlier this week too. It is so adorable.
that yellow clutch is just so beautiful and cheery I love it.
thank you so much for the beas knees!
hope you are having a great weekend too!
Thanks :) Bride Wars was funny, like a proper comedy more than a romantic comedy as there wasn’t really a romance.
I love the little clutch, and I’m soooo glad it doesn’t get that cold in Ireland. I hate winter!
Such lovely things you found! I adore that clutch – if I didn’t just buy a new purse, I would have had to snag one. I love the bright colors – very cheerful for a dreary winter.
And I agree – that girl has a lovely smile! If only we could each have one for our pockets. Heehee.
i am loving anything yellow right now, that clutch is adorable! boo for the puppies not letting you get your rest! hopefully you have a nice, relaxing weekend coming up! xoxo
I saw that planner on Nilsa’s site as well and loved it. The yellow clutch would certainly brighten this cold winter!
i absolutely love that clutch, it is so cute and fun. want it!
oh my, that clutch is ADORABLE. i.. goodness. i can’t even comprehend temperatures like you guys deal with. i’m dying and the wind chills are still above zero here.
I voted for you AND Nominated you. I love those things you posted. The clutch is adorable and for some reason whenever I see a picture of someone smiling, I smile as well. It’s a nice way to cheer up my day!
That clutch and cake stand are divine. You must get them!
That purse is absolutely stunning. You need to get it. Sure, it won’t hold more than an extra pair of mitts and one of those hand warm up packets that you need to crack to activate, but what else do you need in there?
Besides,it’s so pretty I bet if you had it you would forget how cold you were. And isn’t that what a girl needs her purse to do in January?
Ummmmm… I require that clutch! Pronto!
Oh, good luck Ms. Kyla!
I’m a fan of that clutch too. It’s just too bad that it is flipping freezing outside and I feel completely ‘unsunny’.
Oh man… I totally forgot to delurk. Bah. Anyway, I’ve post about you on my blog (on my I’m not post), but I don’t think I’ve ever commented here. So, HI! Love your blog… suck at commenting :)
I loooove that purse. If I had any extra spending money at all, I’d totally be fighting you for it!
I love, love, love that yellow flowered clutch!
My insane puppy seems to love the cold weather. I feels o bad because I always wimp out before she does. I don’t have a yard at my place to let her run around so I’ve been dropping her off at my parents house. She’ll stay out for hours in 10 degree weather. She’s crazy!
Little Fitzgerald cuddles with me until the very last time I hit the snooze button. At that time, though, he absolutely HAS TO GO POTTY LIKE RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND! So I rush with him to the back door so he can squeal with delight when I let him outside.
I love puppies!
I love that clutch, so cute! My dog is so lazy in the morning! The whole time I am getting ready she is just laying there in bed :)
my puppies are not letting me sleep in
I cannot wait for their little bladders to be fully developed
that will be a good day
My puppy is finding it hard to leave the blankets, let alone bark.
I love that planner! I’m totally checking it out. It’s so hard to find nice ones.
The planner is gorgeous, and the purse, divine. I love the contast of the sunny yellow outside and the polka-dotted inside.
I love Bea’s Knees more than the first steaming hot cup of coffee in the morning.
ooh that planner is so pretty! i’ve been looking for a nice one. & that clutch is adorable.
I’ve been using my planner for about a week now and I. Love. It. I mean it. Let me know if you want contact information for the artist … I tracked her down and she has a blog and everything!
I’m in desperate need of a new planner but I’ve been irrationally determined not to buy one that isn’t gorgeous. Thanks to this post, problem solved!
Oooh, I love that clutch and the cake stand. I wonder if they could ship it by next Saturday…
You should definitely get the purse. So pretty!
Have a great weekend and stay warm!
My puppies always let me sleep in. Even though Ben might need to be let out because he can’t hold his bowels he’s really good at coming right back to the door so I can let him in and go back to sleep. They will stay in bed until I get up, which sometimes isn’t until 11am if I’m really lucky.
No, sadly today it wasn’t the puppies that woke me up. It was class and the need to go. I hope you have a good weekend!
