friday favorites

happy friday!!

just stopping by to share a few things that i've come across lately that are too good not to share.

i hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend and maybe you'll come to love these things as much as i do. ;)

i'm not exactly sure why this is grey...seems to defeat the positive purpose of the message ;)  however... i saw this on instagram and loved it.  even when you're having a bad day, when the odds don't seem to be in your favor, make the best of it anyway. smile and make your own sunshine.  as i'm prepping this post (on thursday) it is pretty cloudy in indianapolis today (with temperatures above freezing!!) so we could all use a little more sunshine.  so do yourself a favor and make some.

i am seriously obsessed with this blog, DESIGN LOVE FEST.  just came across it this week and now i'm feeling very inspired.  check it out. you can download many, many oh-so-pretty desktop wallpapers, iphone or ipad wallpapers. i've since updated my desktop at work and my phone. you will not be disappointed!

plus, at the top of the blog it says, "where type &imagines totally make out". 

you had me right there!

i was pretty upset when we lost google reader. so i saved my (long) list of blogs and uploaded into the old reader.  well apparently nowadays you can only follow 100 blogs with the old reader without upgrading (paying for) your service.  not cool.  so. i've moved on to bigger and better things.  where has bloglovin' been?  was i asleep and missed out on something? it is such a beautifully neat way to follow blogs.  so tidy, makes pinning even easier, and has an app for my phone.  i'm sold...and it hasn't cost me a dime.

that's it for today. i'd love to hear what other things you guys have come across that are too good not to share!

make this weekend the best!
