Weekend Links | November 16

At the beginning of each weekend I'm going to try to share a few things that caught my eye during the week.

They might be related to crafts, fashion, food, pop culture, or just inspiration in general.

I'd love it if you could share what caught your eye each week, too. That way the comments of this post each weekend could be filled with eye candy/hilarity/deep thoughts/inspiration.

So here we go.

 

1.

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Liz Tamanaha. I fell in love with this set the moment I saw Liz share it on her Instagram. Chic and minimalist...yes, please.

 

2.

Indeed it is. Original source.

 

3. And in the same vein...I LOVED this story about Jennifer Lawrence. It brought tears to my eyes. What a shining example of kindness and grace and class.

 

4.

This mini album by Paige Evans (for 2 Peas) blew me away and had me itching to create. Find the entire album HERE.

 

5.

Just...yes. Nothing else to say about this print.

 

6. This story about Pope Francis had the tears flowing. Is that not a shining example of God's love and grace? We need more of that. Less judging, more shining. More grace, less finger pointing and holier-than-though.

 

7.

Sea Salt and Caramel Rice Krispie Treats? Dying.

 

 

8.

I'm fascinated by this aging superhero oil painting series.

 

9. And on the opposite end of the spectrum...

I can't even handle this story. It breaks my heart and reminds me of the good of mankind all at once. I followed the Batkid story all day and loved seeing each update. So beautiful. Please go read everything that happened on that awesome day.

 

10.

My friend Amber (of Damask Love) put together a beautifully comprehensive (and free!) e-gift guide. It's a visual treat and I loved every page. Click Here for the magazine in its entirety.

 

There you have it. My 10 most inspiring links from this week.

I'd love to see yours!

Loved it all -especially the Toile link. Now I have a lighter pocket due to purchases completely inspired by this great, free guide! I am afraid to keep looking today or I may go broke! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. I have loved watching the Batkid story unfold. The Barr quote is just perfect. I really liked this short inspirational video this week showing the compassion of strangers. Very moving.

Thank you to the millionth power for sharing Toile with your readers and for this awesome list of inspiration! My favorite find of the week was this wall decor by Snow & Graham:

Make the rice krispee treats, I do, and they are AMAZING! The best part is they stay fresh longer than regular rice krispee treats because of the caramel. So, so, so good! Use the non-stick foil, you'll need it.

What caught my eye this week was the generousity of people in our community. I volunteer to work a fish fry at our American Legion once a month and then every Friday during lent. People are generous with their time to help the club raise money. Then I decorated a tree for the Legion to give to our hospital to auction for nursing scholarships. There were so many(probably around 45-50) generous people that gave trees. While there I saw many volunteers giving their time to decorate the hospital hallways. That was just one thing I noticed! Love your list and can't wait to try the rice krispie treats....love salty goodies!
