Fabulous Friday Finds ...

Each week I choose a theme, search Etsy for nine fabulous items which fit this particular theme, create a beautiful collage, and showcase it here on Friday. What treasure's have I found this week? Read on to find out ...

This week I've chosen a feel-good theme.  

Calm, serene, peaceful. 

"Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, wholeheartedly, 

one-directionally, without regret or reservation."William H. Sheldon

Happiness, something we all seek in life. 

It comes in many forms, which is different for each individual.  

This week all my finds are handmade.  Each item is numbered, and a direct link to each Etsy shop are listed below the collage, if you'd like to see more from a particular shop.

So now relax, reflect, and enjoy :)

Back to my previously scheduled program ...

Yesterday I had planned to share a few photos of my weekend mini vacation, but was completely distracted by Miley Cyrus' new hair.  If you haven't seen it yet click here for before and after photos she posted on Twitter.  I still don't know if I like it or not.

Anyways, back to my mini vacation.  We spent three fun days driving, sightseeing, amusement park visiting, pool swimming, river swimming, and restaurant eating. Autumn had a blast, and came home very tired. Actually so did I :)  

I didn't go crazy taking photos like I normally do, but here are a few of the good one's I did take -

Me and Autumn

Did you know you go faster if you stand on the gas pedal?

Giant snowman thingy.

River swimming!

Nicer sitting in the sun :)

What last-minute summer fun have you managed to get in before it's all over? Summer just goes by so fast here in New England, if you don't do it now, you'll have to wait til next summer.

Hope you all have a great day! Be sure to stop back after noontime today to link up your Wordless Wednesday photos!! I can't see what you all have to share this week!

Miley Cyrus' Shocking New Do!

This past weekend I was away on a mini vacation.  

For today's post I had planned to share photos of what 

we did and where we went, until I saw this story. I don't blog about fashion and trends very often, but I couldn't pass this one up.  

Miley Cyrus chopped off her locks.  

And when I say chopped, I really mean it!

Miley tweeted these before and after photos for the world to see.  The first photo is of her hair stylist, Chris McMillan, poised with his shears ready to cut off her entire bun.  Fans anxiously awaited more photos, which Miley wasted no time posting.

Miley Tweets ~

"it's happening."

"if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. my hair is attached to my head no one else's and it's going bye bye :)"

And this is what she now looks like!

"Never felt more me in my whole life ❤"

"❤❤❤ feeling so happy in my skin"

"someone just told me im prettier than Miley Cyrus." {--- love this tweet :)

Bye-bye Hannah Montana .... 

What do you think of Miley's new look?

I say good for her, maybe this change will work in her favor.

Hope you all have a great week ahead of you, whether your kids are back to school, or your trying to cram in the last bit of summer fun before it all begins.

I'll be back tomorrow to share some of my mini-vacation photos, and don't forget my Wordless Wednesday Blog Party beginning Tuesday afternoon!!
