Weekend Lovelies {favorite things}

Orange Blossoms

:: Weekend Lovelies {favorite things} ::

Welcome dear readers to this edition of Weekend Lovelies {favorite things}! Spring is in the air here in Southern California.  I recently had a lot on my mind {okay, I lied I always do!} and needed a little nature break.  Though, I am a huge fan of yoga, it was one of those days where I needed to be alone with my thoughts and my music.  I decided to take one of my favorite trail walks. Because I was seeking quiet, I continued down a different path that kept me away from the streets and walkways that I often end my walk on.  To my lovely surprise, I landed right where I needed to be, in the middle of an orange grove full of orange blossoms. I believe the smell of orange blossoms is one of the most beautiful smells in the world.  Have you had to the chance to experience that?  As a child, we had orange groves across the main street of our home.  When the spring sunshine came out around late February and early March, those groves would permeate the area with the most heavenly scent.  I felt that I landed there for the simple reason… to take a deep breath and take in that beautiful moment.  When was the last time you did that for yourself?

I know the hustle of life distracts us all, but I do believe we all need those moments to re-energize and refresh.  All those little worries I had jumbled in my ever thinking brain did stop {for about 10 minutes..wink}, but enough for me to let some of those worries go.  Sara and I hope that our Weekend Lovelies {favorite things} gives you a moment to enjoy some peace while feasting your eyes on some of favorite things out on the web.  We wish you a wonderful weekend, and remember if you are an Etsy Shop or Blogger, we’d love for you to link up your favorite posts of the week or your unique shop!

 San Clemente

:: Weekend Lovelies {favorite things} ::

Sara and I are trying our hardest not to brag, but this is California!  This is the weather we have been experiencing… crazy yet beautiful all wrapped into one.  For this edition of Weekend Lovelies {favorite things}, we hope that you, our readers, are experiencing weather you adore, as well! I actually took this picture on New Year’s Eve in San Clemente.  A peaceful day by the pier allowed us to keep perspective of our blessings going into the New Year.  I know for January, it often seems like a slow month, but this year, it seems to be speeding along. 

We hope that you can take a moment this weekend and enjoy some of your blessings…. whether it be inside snuggling and keeping warm with the ones you love, or being out and about… enjoying the weather at hand.  But of course before you do all of that, take a moment to enjoy some of our favorite things!  Don’t forget if you are a blogger or Etsy Shop owner, you can link-up your favorite post of the week {or your fabulous Etsy Shop}.  The link information is at the bottom of the page.  Enjoy!
