Friday Favorites from Privet and Holly, Pigtown Design and More

August 31, 2013 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 11 Comments

Good morning! I hope that you have had a fabulous week! Are you getting ready for a last “hurrah” before the unofficial end of summer? A barbecue, one last trip to the beach or perhaps a weekend away for the Labor Day holiday?

I have no plans and I am very content with that; I have a great book to read, a movie to watch and lots of leisurely time with my husband and pup. In my down time I will be further exploring some of my Friday Favorites!

Image Ralph Lauren Via Here

Brion from Bastion & Lark featured the 2013 Apartment One collection from Ralph Lauren. I love every piece and you will too if you like classic, timeless design. 

I am a sucker for a food blog and even more so when the photography is beautiful. Have Cake Will Travel does not disappoint on either front and is my favorite new blog find this week!

Gracie Image from Privet and Holly

This week there were many blogger’s sending their kids off to begin the next chapter of their lives…college. Suzanne at Privet and Holly wrote a beautiful post about the family pup, Gracie and how she is holding up now that her “sister” Elizabeth left to college. You will need a box of Kleenex for this post!!

Image Pigtown Design

Meg at Pigtown Design made these personalized pillows for her friends, using fabric that she designed and had printed. What a great idea for a special gift. 

Heirloom Philosophy featured a stunning property that is for sale in Charlotte. They do not make them like this anymore.

Congratulations to Tish at A Femme de Certain Age for making her dream become a reality. 

I hope that you found something new here today or rediscovered a favorite of your own. If you found something that you think we would enjoy please share it, I enjoy learning about new movies, books, recipes and travel. 

 Have a great Labor Day weekend and be safe!

    Oh yes, I was crying when I read Suzanne's post and seeing Gracie's little aging face. I knew Tish was in the process of writing a book, but now she's DONE! YOUPI!

    Have a super day my dear. Anita

    I look forward to heading out to visit all of your suggestions. I fear Gracie's story is going to bring back memories from several years ago. Have a fabulous, fabulous holiday weekend. I am going to spend the weekend quietly as well…and it starts….right now. Hugs!

    Good morning Elizabeth! Suzanne's post made me cry too! I love all your Friday links…I always find something I haven't seen before and have added many blogs to my follow list based on your recommendations.

    What are you reading and baking this weekend? I will be baking lots of goodies for Carter to take back to school to share with his suite mates…can't wait to get started!

    Have a beautiful long weekend…xoxo

    Hello Elizabeth, I will check out the blogs you mention that I'm not familiar with. Don't you just love RL bed linens? Thank you very much for your nice comment on my blog earlier this week. I just realized your blog doesn't appear on my blog roll, for some strange reason. Going to fix that right now. Happy Labor Day weekend to you!!

    Hi Elizabeth! Just sat down with
    a tall glass of mineral water and
    some quiet to pop in MY favorites,
    only to find ME on your list for this
    week! Delighted and humbled and
    for sure, surprised. Thank you so
    much for including me in your Friday
    round-up : ) !!

    I just spoke with my Elizabeth and
    she's doing really, really well, despite
    the fact that she contracted a nasty
    cold the first week. Other than the
    hot, sunny weather (she's a fan of
    clouds and rain….) in California, she's
    enjoying everything else and loving
    her classes. Now, if I could just pass
    that good news on to Miss Gracie : )

    Your weekend sounds wonderful and
    I hope all of the moments are as special
    as you are, my friend.

    Off to check out your recommendations!

    xo Suzanne

    Hi Elizabeth, I love everything here, great features in this post. I’m a sap for the RL shoot, love the classic look! I see a few blogs I’m going to visit, I don’t want to miss anything. Love the beach photo, I’m going to miss the long summer days. Thanks for a great post.

Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning? If you are relaxing with a cup of coffee come over to the blog and check out all of my favorites from around the web this week. I have book recommendations, recipes, fashion finds and more. Have a happy Saturday. #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #saturday #weekendvibes #weekend #flowers #springdecor #spring #springstyle #cherryblossom

Happy Monday friends! How was your Easter? It was Happy Monday friends! How was your Easter? It was a beautiful and lazy weekend here.

I hope that you are surrounded by love on this beautiful day, even if it is only by  the love of God which is the best love there is. Life is what we make it and we can be sad that another Easter finds us at home or we can enjoy it for what it is, a beautiful day, an Easter egg hunt for the dogs, a delicious Bear claw pastry that I made yesterday using a recipe from @sweet_things_by_lizzie_ on the @redstaryeast blog, time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Oh and to eat lots of candy left by the Easter bunny, is 3 @reeses peanut butter eggs before breakfast too many, asking for a friend?

My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few kids to hunt for them. I dyed my eggs this year with red cabbage and I love the colors. Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself?

Good evening friends, I hope you had a great day! Good evening friends, I hope you had a great day! I’ve been experimenting with plants and branches from my yard to make an Easter arrangement. I wanted tulips but there was a man at the store that asked me to point out the tulips for him, he told me his wife sent him to but them all up. I think she probably specified a certain color and he missed that part of the instructions, either that or they were going for and arrangement of every color of the rainbow. In any case there was nothing left for me except one package of cabbage looking things so off I went to the yard to forage. I added a moss covered bunny and some eggs and I am ready. Today on the blog I am sharing some of my favorite Easter memories, happy times spent with my grandparents and siblings and more. What is you happiest Easter memory? Please share it here or on the blog. Have a wonderful night. #easter #easterbasket #easterdecor #easterbunny #easterflowers #flowersofinstagram #flowers #flowerphotography #foragedflowers #foraged #blogger #blogpost #pineconesandacorns #cherryblossom #herbs #mint
