Friday favorites

1.
Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay
What a sultry performance...and voice!
Fitting for our relaxing vacation up north on the lake.
(And because the huzz and I were just talking about how we'd like to take another trip out to "the" Bay - San Francisco - sooner than later!)
:)

2.
Home Coffee Bars
Wouldn't one of these be great if you had a large kitchen?!
How convenient for house guests, too...help yourself!

3.
Olivia Palermo's style
That b- always nails it.  From her hair right down to her shoes.  Le sigh.

4.

Polka dot pumpkins

When I go back to work in October, there won't be much time for elaborate pumpkin carving.  This is one fabulous alternative! So simple and pretty.

5.
Things We Need to Say to Our Children
I love ALL of these!  So good, so true...

And a few more fun links...

Would you wear legging jeans?  I think I might.  (Emphasis on "think.")

8 great dates for moms and sons.  Aw...

Cute fall party favors.

Read this for a comical mood booster! :)

Happy Friday to you!
