Things I'm Loving in February

Here's this month's installment of random stuff I've been digging lately:

barkTHINS

I've never been a huge dark-chocolate fan; typically, I'd choose milk over dark any day of the week.  Then, I stumbled on this stuff in the Organic section at Fred Meyer (also at Costco).  Wowza.  This stuff is SO good.  Addictive, but good!

Pastel Mustaches

I'm not sure what I'm going to make with this fabric, but I just had to grab the remainder of the bolt when I was at JoAnn's.  Em may be sporting a new spring dress with this sweet, quirky design soon!

Polka-dot Sweaters

I'm kind of in love with this sweater.  Like the colors.  Adore the polka dots.  And I might have just bought it... at 70% OFF.  Cute clothes that are dirt-cheap?  Doesn't get much better than that.

Patagonia

Most people dream of vacations on white, sandy beaches in Hawaii or Mexico.  Give me somewhere cold, rugged, with vast opportunities for adventure and filled with jaw-dropping vistas - that's my cup of tea.  Who knows when we'll get to there, but someday Patagonia will be a stamp on my passport!  (Photo courtesy of The Telegraph)

"What If?"

Working late one night, I came across this movie on Amazon Instant Video.  I was apprehensive about a rom-com with Harry Potter as the lead, but figured I'd give it a whirl as all I really needed was some noise in the background.  The movie proved to be far better than random white noise.  Basically, it's a light-hearted movie with witty dialogue that weaves the story of a sweet friendship; I went back and forth on it for a bit, but in the end - I kind of dug it.  (Movie poster courtesy of Imp Awards)

Things I'm Loving

In honor of this being my 500th post - woohoo! - here's a totally random list of stuff I'm digging right now:

B. Kershisnik - "She Will Find What Is Lost" (Lithograph)

I saw this piece on someone's Instagram this week and immediately fell in love.  Art is such a powerful vehicle for emotion and this particular print is no exception.  This image of angelic help being given to a woman evoked such a sense of peace and comfort in me, it nearly brought me to tears.

Super-Fast & Easy Mayonaise

Word has it that this is the best homemade mayo recipe in all the land.  I'm totally going to try it, as it sounds fabulous, as well as easy.  And it's Whole30-compliant, for anyone that's knee-deep in the world of Paleo.   Recipe courtesy of Foolproof Homemade.

Heart Pillow Craft

I LOVE THIS PILLOW COVER.  It's simple, but classic so we could technically keep it around all year, not just for Valentine's Day.  In all of the free time I have (bahaha), I'm going to make this.   Photo & idea courtesy of UCreate.

Cool Name, Fabulous Skirt

Has anyone else seen this crazy, gorgeous skirt from Shabby Apple?  The Waltzing Matilda: you are adorable, you are covered in polka-dots, you have the sweetest name, you will be mine... someday.
