My Friday Finds . . .

 
 
A few of the things  I find each week that pique my interest, bring me joy, inspire me to learn, create, do, become . . . maybe they will do the same for you!   
 
 
 
A box of little houses by Ceramicist Szilvia Vihriala on Instagram. I'm not sure why but they make me think of Cinq Terre, or an Irish village, or Lunenburg back home  . . .  all that colour makes me smile. 


 
This also makes me smile  . . .  such cute little bloom holders. I could not find a source.  
 
 
 
I found this here.  I don't know who created this either, but I love it.    
 
 
 
Little Monkey.  Classic Beach Bag.  
 
 
  
 
Mod Flowers.  Cute dolls.  So sweet.  
 
 
 
Uses for Cream of Tartar.

Red Heart.  Free pattern for these lovely placemats.  
 
 
  
 
Pretty Ideas.  Crochet Tiny Handbags tutorial.  
 
 
 
A Family Feast. Tomato Jam.  Looks very good. 
 

 
The Real Violet Pie.  Tiny snout bears.  Cute!  
 
 
The Home School Scientist. 100 things to study in your backyard.  
 
 
 
Look 4 Ward.  By Vera Torokova.  Miniature dolls that can fit in a walnut shell.  Amazing.


 
From Britain with Love.  How to knit a lamb.  Free pattern.  
 
 
 
Adventure in a Box.  Rocks painted like fairy doors.  
 
 
  
 
I have never been to Williams Sonoma, but it sounds nice.

A thought to carry with you  . . .

load with today's strength.
Carrying two days at once
It's moving into tomorrow
ahead of time. 
Sorrying does not empty 
tomorrow of its sorrow,
it empties today of its strength.

    Hi, Marie! So good to catch up with... Friday's seem to be the day I get to do that! ;) It's been "one of those weeks" in some ways, so it's so great to see all the cheerful things here. Those little houses are so CUTE! Could probably make some with polymer clay! The quilty-bird stitchery is so sweet! Last summer I made a tomato chutney--it was amazing, must make a again this year. That tomato jam looks sooo good! How do make a doll so small, and her nutshell house... incredible! Love those rock fairy doors--too cute. Must go see about your scones and jam--YUM! Wishing you all a good weekend there, my sweet friend. LOVE YOU LOTS!! :))) ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))

    Oh we all have weeks like that my sweet friend! I have them all the time! LOL sometimes more often than not! I, too, amazed at the talent of those tiny dolls in a nutshell. I am not sure my eyes would allow me to work on something so tiny! Sending you lots of love and hugs on this day and always, and to TJ and Luna also! ((((hugs)))) xoxo

      I bought a whole bunch of small embroidery hoops for making Christmas ornaments but haven't done anything with them yet. Oh, I bet your daughter's tomato jam is gorgeous! Happy weekend to you also! xoxo

    Oh my, I must make these perfect scones; like soon. Yum!
    I loved your finds. I especially loved the miniaturize crocheted tiny-bags and the place-mats; so cute. I should read the book on a 100 things to study in the backyard. I need to spend more time in mine.
    I will have to look in to the house cleaner one. I am about to em park on a good cleaning of my home.
    Blessings and hugs!
