Pinterest Picks

Do you know what today is!? Yes, it's Friday, but it's also my first full day of summer break! (I may or may not have done jazz hands as I left the building yesterday.) As stoked as I am for a breather, it will only be a month long: my next class starts June 11th.

Some of you might be thinking, "Um, didn't your brain turn to sludge for a while because you work full-time while going to school?" Well, yeah. It did. But I've been thinking a lot about what I want for myself, and I want to finish school sooner than later. I've already started to restructure some business stuff that will make my schedule more predictable, and therefore my life less insane. I'll spill the beans about that when we get closer to it.

ANYWAY! It's Friday and that means Pinterest Picks. I'm not sure what's up with me lately, but for the last six months or so I've been weirdly into coasters. Maybe because they're simple enough to make that even I with zero free time can handle it? These are just painted right on the cork:


I'm getting one of my twice-yearly haircuts this afternoon. (I know, I know. Now I have crazy split ends to show for it.) The goal is to leave the salon looking like this, minus the wind machine obviously:


I show you guys a lot of white kitchens, but I just love them too much to keep it all inside. I'm especially drawn to the farmhouse sink and many windows.


Hmm, this week is turning into the blog version of a favorite hits album. Look, more pretzels! But this time with rosemary and sea salt:


Okay, here's something different. Make your own napkins stenciled with quotes from Downton Abbey:


What's on deck for this weekend? I have a show tomorrow that I still need to prep for (pricing, getting cash, etc.). I also plan to sleep a lot because, man, I'm tired. Do you have any big plans? Do you find yourself pinning certain things over and over? Who wants to make those pretzels for me?

  2. My hair could use a windmachine! I love the sink and is that a rug or tiles on the kitchenfloor? Anyway: it's looking good!

  3. pretzels!! Love pretzels but they are so jammed pack with carbs. I'm trying to stay away from those type of carbs. I have a European trip to look good for. You're also reminding me that I really need a haircut. I keep putting it off because it's so pricey but my ends are split and it's so long it's starting to get in the way of eating. While straight..my hair is down near my waist. CRAZINESS.

    No big plans this weekend.I picked up an additional 5hrs of OT so that is what I'll be doing.

  11. Yum! That pretzel looks delicious. I bet that cheese sauce would be good as a fondue type sauce too.
