happy (leading up to the holidays) sunday!

hi friends, hoping you are having an amazing sunday!

(via)
are you buzzing around christmas shopping or laying low? i am going slow and trying to enjoy each day leading up to the holidays, which can be hard right?!. on black friday i put in an offer on a house!!! i'll keep you posted on my new home purchase adventure (it's been a total learning curve for sure!).

have a great rest of your weekend. and some fun finds from around the world wide web if you're interested:

prettiest fanny pack ever.

casulo: macrame mood

have a fun weekend!

what are you up to this weekend? anything fun?

i've been slow to the take on the holiday vibe. i feel like i've been kicking back thinking i have all kinds of time. but last night it hit me. i realized that this weekend i need to snap to and dive in! so i'll be heading out, trying to avoid the mall at all costs, in search of a few special gifts.

next year i'd love to try something different. pick towns or cities i'm not familiar with in my state. head to one a day at a time and only shop small and local. doesn't that sound fun? i've also planned a sneaky weekend here this month. i had to. cause...why not.

whatever you do, wherever you go this weekend, enjoy the heck out of yourself. and it's friday saturday so some fun finds from around the world wide web:

what are you up to this very fall filled weekend? anything fun? the tree color in new england has been a treat this month! on my walk to work there have been trees that have literally stopped me, to pause and appreciate their time to shine! either bright yellows, reds, oranges...if you are being treated to fall foliage, don't forget to look up. :)
