Starting this week I will be adding a new segment to my blog, Friday Finds. I’m working on a couple of things, everything is still very hush hush – {very CIA}! Here‘s a sneak peek. More information to come….

Here are some interesting finds this week:

I don’t think my thoughts can fit in these little guys, but, I can try! They are so darn adorable…

I can’t wait to try this salad on a summer weekend. Something fresh and easy…just remember – hot, sour, salty, and sweet! (bet you can’t say that 5 times)

Adorable! I just need need an event to wear it to. Maybe just around the house!

Sweetest reunion…I love you franklin!

I think I can count on one hand how many I’ve read off the list. How about you?!

Unbelievable photography….

Love these invitations, fun and colorful. I will definitely be using this as inspiration for my next cake!

Green way of wrapping…Great DIY project

Every amateur and professional pastry chef should look into helping out however they can. Such an amazing way to bring a smile to a child’s face!

Have a great weekend…lots to do! Can’t wait to show you a sneak peek of what I’m doing, next week.
