scenes from the (last) weekend... plus happy things on friday

camping on the beach, quirky little cafes and a triathlon.

this friday i am still grateful for last weekend.

i have always loved kikki k - all that pretty stationery! now i love them even more because they have released a gorgeous free mini mag full of pretty images and inspiration.

pop into your local stop to pick up a copy (or three)...

four happy things on friday

One of my resolutions for this year was to be more intentional - with my relationships, with my time and with my focus. In an effort to continue this, I will post four photos from my week of things or moments that have made me happy. I feel like I sometimes miss out on joy just because I'm not looking. Here's to changing that!

looking up, sourcing vintage sheets for the swap, baking bread and getting lovely hanky mail from renee.

Feel free to join in! Just leave a comment and I will pop over to see your happy things this friday...

slowing down...

i have been working like a crazy lady lately and it doesn't look like slowing down anytime soon. one of the things i am missing is taking the time to enjoy breakfast. most days, it is eaten on the run, if at all. i am living vicariously through this gorgeous blog all about breakfast...

...makes me want to slow down.

**all images are from the simply lovely simply breakfast blog

some sheet swap questions...

i have had a few questions about the Vintage Sheet FQ swap that i thought i should probably answer and clear up any confusion...

to add this swap as a button. all you need to do is save the image in this post and then click on the 'design' tab on your dashboard. you should come to a page that shows your blog layout. then you need to click on the tab that says 'add a gadget'. for me it is on the right hand side.. you should then get a new window pop up with a whole list of options that you can add to your blog. you want to click on the 'picture' option. You will then be asked to upload your image and there is an option there that you can include a link. just pop in the link to this post and you should be done! good luck :) let me know if you are still having trouble!

cotton vs. cotton blend sheets. both are okay. In my original post i said that only 100% cotton sheets would be accepted. after chatting to some people about this and doing some of my own research i have decided that both are fine. sheets that are clearly NOT cotton blend will not be accepted but if you can't tell the difference then they should be fine! (please dont send any flannelette sheet squares - even though they are cotton)

if you have signed up you should be receiving an email sometime this week with more details!

have a fabulous day :) Kel x
