FRIDAY FAVORITES.....HELLO OCTOBER

There is no room here for complaining about the week or frivolous "Yay it's Friday!" Our country, our world, experienced evil this week and I think we are all still having a hard time wrapping our heads around such a senseless tragedy. The only thing we should have room for this week is LOVE and then continue to carry that out all of our days. In trying to keep the world moving, here is what I am loving in my world this week but thinking about all of human kind 
so much more. On Ellen Wednesday, Oprah was a guest and said something that hit home: "The Ordinary is what makes the world Extraordinary! Treasure the Ordinary things."
Here is my ordinary that I treasure.

1. Seeing My College Boys
Yep, two college boys in two days on two different campuses and we had such a great time. I'll recap one of the day's for ya Monday in a Day in the Life Post. Even better, they are home this weekend for Fall break!
Indiana University

Purdue University

I told you in this POST about "Bo" the deer head, well, here he is at home in the Frat room.

2. Pumpkin Signs & Pillows
What would an October Friday Favorites be without more pumpkin Love? Here is a sign I got at Kirklands and a couple more pumpkin decorations I would love to have.

3. Week's Attire
Express sweater, Loft necklace

Kohl's Top and necklace

4. Stripes, Gingham and Cherries
I got this cherry sweater from JCrew Factory and meant to wear it to The Cherry Festival this summer on vacation but it was too hot so I decided to save it for Fall and throw gingham underneath.

5. Misc. Fun
Today I'm sharing over at The Blended Blog for Friday Loves 
but it's not the usual post.

Candy From Doctor's
My team and I are working on a project for one of our nicest Surgeons. He surprised us yesterday these these Fall Festive butter mints and turtles from a local Chocolate shop. I thought they were so pretty....and yummy.

American Idol Returning
American Idol coming back makes me very happy. Not a huge fan of Katy Perry, but Luke and Lionel as judges...all right!!

Go LOVE on one another sweet friends!!

  29. Gosh that's a handsome, young man standing beside Bo! Enjoy having all your cuties home for the weekend! I'm missing Steph so much this week! But Alise has kept us on our toes, so I've been busy! I had heard rumors of Luke Bryan being on AI, so I guess now it's official. I'm not a Katie Perry fan, either, but I would be tempted to watch again. I hope you have a great and relaxing weekend!
