Blinks + Bubble Bath

Happy Friday! Now, blinks. Because they're fun:

 "A Couple of Banchory Pugs," available for purchase here, via my pinterest

Eye candy: colorful paintings by Leslie Bell, discovered on Sfgirlbybay

"It's a Small World" Embroidery Hoop. Just delightful. (via Blue Moss)

Excited about this new blog that publishes illustrated recipes that sound as delicious as they look (found via A Diary of Lovely)

 Wise words from a wise soul. (via Aubrey Rd tumblr)

 Whoa! A Nikon red velvet cake. Blowing my mind. (spotted on East Coast Time)

More cake: I can't stop thinking about Chelsea's moist chocolate & juicy orange confection

Such a beautiful shot (by Miss B)

Kind of obsessing over duffle bags lately. Love this sky blue one, spotted on Miss Moss

 It's very true. (via Rikshaw)

 I could look at great bookshelf styling all day. (via Escapade)

 Paris. Can't resist. (via j'adore)

I need a long, hot bath. That's what I've decided. A quality soak with yummy salt scrub and a lavender candle. Not quite sure what else the weekend has in store, but that sure sounds like a lovely place to begin.

Thank you, all of you, for your delightful comments and conversation this week. And to my newest readers: welcome aboard! Big hugs all around.
