Happy Lovelies! Nicole & I hope that you are all having a wonderful start to your weekend! There’s no rhyme or reason to this edition of lovelies… just things we currently {heart}!

Enjoy & remember to take some time for yourself this weekend! You deserve it! {xo}
Gaming With My Mom // Jimmy Fallon
This really doesn’t need an introduction! You just have to watch! I promise it’s good for a heartfelt laugh!
Chocolate Banana Dairy-Free Ice Cream // The Londoner
I recently came across this lovely blog when I found her original “Slutty Brownie” recipe! Oh my! Also, on my list to make…. this Chocolate Banana Dairy-Free Ice Cream! Only a few ingredients to make this nearly guilt-free dessert!
Homemade Almond Butter // Ambitious Kitchen
A dear friend introduced me to the Trader Joe’s Almond Butter this year. I must say…. our family is hooked & seems to prefer it over peanut butter. This recipe sounds amazing, right?!!! Almonds, sea salt, honey & vanilla bean?!! Wow! Can’t wait to whip up a batch & drench it over fresh green apple slices!
Chalkboard Pantry Labels // Lia Griffith for World Label
These DIY labels come in a vintage chalkboard design. They are ready to download, print, & apply to your pantry jars! Lia Griffith also has labels for a gluten-free kitchen!
The Most Amazing Fabric // Spoonflower
I am completely enamored with this site for fabric, wallpaper, & decals! These are just a few of my favorites! Think it’s time I learn to sew…. or not {see below}!
DIY How to Sew Throw Pillows // Girl. Inspired.
Funny story. I have a mother that can do absolutely anything she puts her mind to! You name it…. she can sew {she even made my sister’s wedding gown}, crochet, create stained glass pieces, garden, fix an engine…. On top of it all, she’s an incredible artist & smarty! Last summer my husby told me I needed to spend some time learning things from my mom to pass on to our kids {seriously, I’m in my mid-thirties!}. I told my mom, and she replied… “Honey, let’s just skip a generation!” Haha!!! I’m still laughing over that one! Perhaps there is no hope for me! If I were to start somewhere with sewing, however, it would probably be with this simple tutorial on how to sew throw pillows…
Boho Rug Obsessed // Justina Blakeney
Confession. I’m completely rug obsessed. Boho rug obsessed with a tribal feel, to be exact. In fact… I just purchased these three rugs from West Elm {1 | 2 | 3 } for our new mountain home in lieu of a summer vacation {true story… but hopefully there is a camping trip in our near future!}. Justina Blakeney’s blog post has a great link to her faves sold on Etsy! This photo is just a sneak peek! BTW… she has incredible Pinterest Boards with quite a following!
Come Shop With Simply Happenstance // Stella & Dot
