Hi sweet people :) It's Thursday which means that Friday is OH SO CLOSE!
And because you guys are just SO incredible, I have a treat for you today.
I want you to meet my good friend (blog & in real life) Sara! She blogs over at The Lovely Lemon.
I've asked her a few questions so that you can get to know just how wonderful she is!
Take it away Sara!
P.S. There may or may not be a giveaway at the end...just saying ;)
..................................................................................
1. Okay, I have to know, where did the name "the lovely lemon" come from? I think it's just so cute!
Why thank you! :)
So, not to get all deep or anything, but I sort of love the idea that we can somehow gain something from the seemingly crappy moments in our lives. You know....the lemons. We can choose to be hopeful and still call those moments lovely. ...was that cheesy? Yes. I am cheesy.
2. Describe the perfect day.
hmmmm... my perfect day. I would be mellow all day long. I'm a go-with-the-flow kinda girl. I would sleep in. Enjoy a LARGE cup of coffee and breakfast with my husband Matt. A little thrifting...I like to treasure hunt ;) . Watch my favorite movies....OR wake up and go to Disneyworld! ....it's a toss up!
3. What is in your purse right this second?
Here's the rundown: (from top to bottom)
business cards and leather case from Pilgrim + Native on etsy. everyone needs snacks, I carry yogurt raisins. Droid phone. hairbrush, flowers headband, vintage scarf. wallet. Burt's Bees everything (berry tinted chap stick, classic chap stick, hand cream) . iPod touch, earbuds, and iPod case from Squid Dumpling on etsy. tissues and hand sanitizer. I ALWAYS carry a couple cute cup sleeves! The buttons on the green one are my very favorite! idea notebook, pen, and sharpie. keys with doo dads by Pilgrim+Native and Squid Dumpling. two pairs of sunglasses (always) in case.
4. You're a big time crafter. What's your favorite thing that you have ever crafted?
Wow. That's a big question. I would have to say that my leather tassel necklace. It's super simple, and kind of plain, but I think it's my favorite accessory. Whenever I am packing to go anywhere it is the first accessory I think to bring. I often wear it by itself, but the best thing is to layer it with 1 (or 2!) other necklaces! I made it forever ago, but it is the most frequently used.
5. What are your 5 favorite books?
Up until a couple of years ago, I wouldn't really have called myself much of a reader. But now I just love it! I have read a couple series, some sappy books about love, marketing based reads, and comedic books....which I think are my favorite. :)
1. The Harry Potter series: yep. I think I'm just going to refer to that as "one book" on the list because, well, there are seven of them and I just can't choose okay?! okay.
2.Catching Fire . I believe this to be THE BEST book in the Hunger Games Series. Although I did greatly enjoy the entire series. This book was, and is, my favorite.
3. The Time Traveler's Wife. This book is both sappy, and raw. Love it.
4. The Lucky One. Yes, I am a Nicholas Sparks person. This is the best one yet in my opinion.....anyone see the movie?
5. Bossy Pants by Tina Fey....LOVE. I was laughing out loud on the first page....maybe event the first sentence. This is what I am reading now and it's already on the favorites list. It's dang good.

Love this post! :) I love Nicholas Sparks too but I haven't read this book because my sister ruined it for me and straight up texted me what she thought was going to happen in the end. I haven't considered watching the movie and reading the book after that even though it was already loaded in my kindle app - yes I was that pissed. Hahaha! Great giveaway by the way. That necklace is just too pretty :)

LOVE THIS! Here is my comment to enter the giveaway!

i love that she has yogurt covered raisins in her purse! I love those and they wouldn't last long if they were in mine. : )
ReplyDeleteI love that you featured Sara, because not only is a your IRL friend, but she's a blogger! Love it! And that necklace? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI might also love her, because she loves The Time Traveler's Wife. SO GOOD. I cried so much. I think I connected with it so much, because the time traveler's age jumps around throughout their relationship, and Mr. TBS and I have a significant age gap. But it's so well-written! Love!
The Time Traveler's WIfe is one of my favorite books as well! I didn't get into reading until my niece was born and I had to find something to occupy my time on the car ride to Austin. It was the second book I read. Absolutely loved it!
ReplyDeleteboth the necklaces featured in this post are gorg!! love them <3

ReplyDeleteI'll be definitely entering the giveaway! :)
