Hello everyone. What are your plans for the weekend? Last night, I made this fabulous bracelet with my lovely friend Cameron — it was so much fun and much harder than it looks! Let’s just say there was a lot of laughing involved and it wasn’t until we had a glass of wine that the bracelets started coming together. Fun.
Today, Eben and I have a few fun warm-weather projects that we have been working on that I want to finish up! The rest of the weekend is going to be spent hanging out by the pool, soaking up this fantastic Florida weather. While I find my flip-flops, here are a few green things to take you into the weekend.
