FRIDAY FAVORITES.....BEAUTY OF SUMMER

The beauty of summer is everywhere! And while my favorite season is Fall, I am enjoying soaking up what summer has to offer! This has been a difficult week, Mr. Nine was traveling and thank goodness is finally home, because things just go wrong when he is gone and because a dear friend of ours passed away, I always called him my favorite dad of all our kid’s friends! He never met a stranger and had the kindest soul!! Pray for his family and prayers for another family who, we just found out, had a very tragic loss. Hold your loved ones a little tighter! 

1. New Gold Necklace..On Trend!

Talk about Beautiful! I am absolutely crazy about these Dainty and Darling Gold Necklaces! I was first introduced to this sweet jewelry company, Aurate, a couple years ago and I have loved their beautiful, affordable and feminine jewelry ever since! Their necklaces are probably my favorite! A big trend right now is the gold chain links and the small ones the encompass this one are so sweet and special! I love the uniqueness that the square pendant gave to it. I think I may get the Solid Square Necklace and the Mini Medaillion Necklace to layer with it as well!

Small Square Pendant

Their Packaging is always so beautiful too!

2. Finally...The Campus Grad Pics

We finally did what we’ve been waiting to do for months, and that was go to our two graduated college boy’s campuses for pictures by all the iconic spots! It was a very hot day, but a very productive one and I even came home with a hotdog suit that a girl had left behind at a party. Don’t worry, I disinfected it well and washed on delicate so the condiments on it wouldn’t come off, LOL!

EXTRA SPECIAL for IU because they celebrated their 
Bicentennial...200 Years!

The Iconic Sample Gates

The Famous Bell Tower

FLOWERS
Something else that has been a saving grace during all this are my beautiful flowers! Tending to them has given me something to do and brought immense joy. And the first pot is of the coveted bubblegum petunias that I have all over the place. This pot has just for bubblegum plants in it but look how huge it’s gotten.

You may have seen me talk about these as well, this is the first time I’ve ever had Elephant Ear plants and can I just say, our whole family is in love with these tropical beauties! The palms are huge!

The second picture shows some new shoots are growing up from the dirt as well, not just the main plant. And I love the coleus's with them.

MEMES

I know many of you feel the same way, memes have given me life throughout this pandemic!

And of course the Reese Meme

CHEERS to a BEAUTIFUL weekend!!
