Since I’m gettin’ out of town tomorrow, I’m publishing this a day earlier than usual. Have a great weekend!

This painted spikes pearl necklace is really sweet, and looks like a fun project.

I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a concrete DIY for a while now, and these cute metallic planters might be just the push I need to finally do it.

This clever little basket is made of grocery bags. What a great way to upcycle something you might just toss out. Tutorial here.

Recently I borrowed my husband’s cufflinks to use as a photo prop, but then when he needed them, I had trouble remembering where I’d put them. It’s good to know that it’s actually really easy to make your own. Also useful if you need a good Father’s Day gift (it’s this Sunday).

Speaking of Father’s Day, if you’re looking for some last-minute gift ideas, this rosemary mint shaving cream or these etched glasses might fit the bill.

Fingers crossed that I’ll get to do some traveling later this year. Maybe I’ll add some of the destinations from this list of 46 places to visit in 2013 to my itinerary.

Excited to try some of these tutorials from Mollytov.

I think I need to make a limeade cake.

What a great embroidered card.

Oooh, these mint clogs are calling my name.

28 Big-Batch Drinks for Summer Parties. I might need to try them all.
