Friday Finds -- Travel

It's a bit of a dull-skied Friday in my corner of the state. Despite the weather, this time of year always gets me excited for vacations, especially road trips. This week's Friday Finds are inspired by wanderlust and all the adventures associated with it.






Where are you spending your next vacation?

Friday Finds: Butterfly Season

I guess spring really is taking hold inside my brain, despite the fickle weather. Spring definitely has its complications -- the central part of the state encountered some terrible wild fires last night, and warm weather always spells tornadoes for those of us in the Great Plains. With the danger and the watches and warnings, however, brings my favorite spring visitors: butterflies. Team members have some gorgeous items featuring my winged friends, so I hope you all enjoy.



What is your favorite springtime creature?

Friday Finds: Get Your Craft On

What's your favorite craft project to undertake on a gorgeous spring day?

Friday Finds: Rain, Rain, Go Away

We're having some of our patented bizarre weather here in the Sooner State. Earlier this week, it was sunshine and butterflies. Today, it's dark as night, and a threat of snow (?!) lingers in the air for the evening. There's nothing we can do about it (I'm still trying to figure out how to control the weather), so today's Friday Finds try to celebrate rainfall and its aftermath.



What's your favorite thing about rainy days? Do you like to hop in puddles or stay inside and drink tea?

Friday Finds: Weddings!

Spring has sprung, which means everyone you know will be getting married, serving as a bridesmaid for the umpteenth time, or attending a wedding sometime in the next few months. Etsy is an unbelievable source for everything you might need to plan your own wedding. Oklahoma sellers have quite a bit of great nuptial-inspired pieces, too, including faux-flower bouquets, great favors, your "something blue," and the answer to all your monogram needs. Check out just a few of the wonderful floral, frilly and fancy pieces to get us all through wedding season:



Question: What is your gift-giving MO when you attend someone's wedding? Do you get something from the registry or have an old stand-by when shopping?
I like to buy from the registry if I have access to it, but if I don't, I like to get a nice picture frame to help display fabulous wedding photos.
