TGIF


Aren't you glad it's Friday? 

It was a short work week here in Canada since we get Easter Monday off! 

This is what tickled my fancy this week:

A great article on Design*Sponge on using networking to improve your search engine rankings. Something I haven't really paid much attention to but lately has peaked my interest.

Being married to someone whose career began in the concrete finishing trade, I love this tutorial making concrete planters. Jenny never fails to impress me with her DIY prowess.  


Uhm...for someone who is flabbergasted at the prices at J. Crew, I was thrilled to discover a J. Crew Factory online via Nancy. It was hard not to whip out the credit card.

I am sweet-talking the husband into making me one of these beauties.




Hope you all have a great weekend! I am off to a concert with my two teens, going to see Stars and Said the Whale (they are so Canadian eh?)

XO Barbara

  7. Off to the J Crew factory site! Sorry I missed you at Bouclair, I totally got an invite back when they first sent it but didn't think I could go ..... which is sort of true at the time but now that I have this puppy, it's impossible to go anywhere at the moment. Can't wait to see it! Have fun tonight!!!!
