Five on Friday

Friday has arrived! Hooray! Lucky for me I don't have school today, but to make up for it I have my "practice" board test on Saturday. Yep, I've got to take a 4 hour test on Saturday morning, but thankfully it won't count as a real grade. It's just to give us an idea of what subjects we need to focus on during our clinical year. Ok enough about tests, on to the fabulous Friday favorites!


One
This amazing Sand-Free mat acts like a filter and allows sand that falls on the top to sift through but doesn't allow the sand from under you to come through. What does this mean? Less sand on your things at the beach! It's actually a genius invention. I'm going to need one of these soon.

Two
I stopped by Hancock Fabrics the other day and picked up a few beautiful pieces of fabric. I have a few ideas in mind for the chiffon, but I'm still trying to plan exactly what I want to do with silk print. I'm thinking a lovely dress for warmer months.




Three
This is the most elegant dining room I have ever seen. It could not get any more perfect. I know I tend to pin so many things that I really love and may never actually want, but this one is different. The chairs, the detailed walls, all of it. This one is going in my real home planning book.

Four
My sister found this lovely dress on Pinterest, and I must say that I'm slightly obsessed. Couldn't you just imagine this blowing in the wind on a sailboat somewhere tropical?

Five
Erin over at Hearts & Crafts makes some amazing things with reclaimed pallets. How great are these?




Don't forget to follow along to keep up with all the fun!
