Casual Friday Surprises

It's FRIDAY! YAY! We made it thru another week. And fridays are pretty casual around here, so we're a little dressed down today. Lise was actually up all night with a sick child and her husband kindly let her sleep in this morning. He took the kids to school and everything! Unfortunately, he forgot to wake her up. Leah actually woke her up! This is why Lise is wearing a hat today. She got dressed while on the phone. She needed sparkle and threw on her sequin tank, decided she needed color and popped on her red belt and ran out the door!

We had a very lovely surprise today! One of our local followers, Leah Hollett,  and a very good friend of Lise's stopped by the office with her oh so cute children. Seriously, I wanted to eat them up! She made us gorgeous fabric and vintage flower brooches. And does she know us or what?! She definitely reads the blog. She got our colors down pat! We are so excited about them and all the ways they can be worn.


Joy's Flower

Lise's Flower
How cool are these, right? We had some fun with them. Here's all the ways we used the flowers today.

On a chain

On a belt

On a hat

On a sweater

In your hair


Or while you pretend to be a ballerina!
 The possibilities are endless! We told Leah that she needs to make and sell these. I would bet that there are a ton of you that would love to wear one of these. Give her some love, people!

Hopefully, I will finish my Christmas shopping this weekend. Are you finished? Have you even started?

Happy Weekend!

  1. Thank You Leah!!! These are amazing and to die for. I also can't believe that from the time you called me (and woke me up) to the time I got to work was like 20 minutes! I do not think I will do a tutorial on my makeup this morning however. LOL

  4. I would wear these flowers!! They are so cute and versatile! She should gather fabics and sell them. I began Christmas shopping after work today and it really helped get me in the mood even though it was 80 degrees and I was sweating while standing in line. Tell Lise she looks great in this hat!
