we glide high above the trees in the breeze, my best friend n’ me. we swing our legs and make our plans just like we always do. there is no one i’d rather sit with, shop with, text with, sing with, dance with, drive with, eat with, laugh with, be with. just my best friend n’ me.
This week’s Word is right outta the mind of the fabulous Marta. You can read more of her beautiful words and coo over her adorable son, Benji at her blog, marta writes. Thanks so much for your contribution to Word, Marta! You captured it just so.
If I had super-toned thighs I’d be all about this tattoo! But I suppose the ones that I’ve got will have to suffice for now. Do you have a tattoo? If not, what kind do you want if you want one?
I first learned of PaPaYa a few years ago and have been impressed by their wide array of unique art and paper goods ever since. Founded by mother-daughter team Gina and Anahata Katkin in 2003, the company is centered around global culture, strong images and bright colors. Creative abandon is their company credo and I can’t think of anything better to live by.
PaPaYa launched a blog in August that’s full of daily inspiration from a group of talented contributors. It also boasts a large selection of resources to link to your heart’s content!
This week’s giveaway is the beautifully abstract Make Believe giclee (pronounced “gee-clay”) by artist Sabrina Ward Harrison. Giclee canvas prints are brimming over with vibrant colors and a richer feel than traditional art prints. Make Believe measures 14″ x 28″ and is mounted on sturdy panels, so comes ready to hang.

Thanks so much to all of you who entered, I absolutely loved reading all of the ways you enjoy eating honey and can’t wait to try many of them myself! My favorite? It’s a toss-up between stirring it into hot tea with lots of lemon and putting gobs of it on peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I’d also like to send out a big thank you to Rachel for putting this much sought after necklace up for grabs!
Did you have a fabulous weekend? I spent my time reading and watching college football. Having a little quality time with my mom. And of course entertaining my animal menagerie. A nice, low-key weekend.
Have you been having an amazing first week of fall? I have. Here in Oklahoma we’re experiencing a lot of below average temperatures and I’m soaking up every moment! Not only did I break out the Halloween decorations (fine, that was last week), but some long sleeves, too. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy this week’s Mad Props!
