Friday Favorites #73

Did you see my most recent Facebook post?  If not, I’ll repeat it now:

My blog looks a little odd right now.  All the functionality is still present, but it looks a lot different than it did earlier this week.

I’m in the process of updating the design and plan to devote significant time this weekend to making some coding changes.

Thanks for your patience while I take the time I need to make things pretty again!

a fascinating illustration regarding the operation of a hotel, circa 1947

 

the fun and relaxing (so I’ve heard) past-time of adult coloring books

 

a vibrant, artful arrangement of tomatoes

 

cute little pincushions (and such nice handiwork!)

 

for the love of mutts – a fantastic gift for anyone who loves rescue dogs!

 

Photos like this always make me want to head straight to my nearest fabric store!

 

an absolutely gorgeous garden

 

such a creative illustrative perspective of ladies having coffee!
