{Saturday Etsy Love} - Cocoa Beans

 We all know I have a thing for everything handmade, but I have kept my love of towels, blankets, and all things snuggly a secret until now. My new Etsy purchase of these charming crochet scrubbies (small wash clothes) are on their way! Oh, and the box will smell so good when it arrives because I also purchased this yummy island coconut soap!

Just a little luxury to keep my home feeling loved and my baths enjoyable! I can't wait to use the soft scrubbies on Kailey's cute little bum. Have I mentioned I love Etsy? So much goodness in one little package and it came to $13 and change! Between Diana, the owner of Cocoa Beans  her daughter's shop Ozetta they offer just about every crochet item you can dream up. Happy Saturday! 

{Friday Blog Obsession} - Fresh Chick Design Studio

{Thursday Photo Favorite} - A Photo With A Purpose

This is my favorite necklace in the SHOP right now, and for a limited time (through September) all proceeds from the angel wing necklace will be donated to the Tarver Family Fund. I first learned of sweet Kaelie Tarver's story on facebook, I immediately began praying and could not stop thinking of this beautiful family.

6 year old Kaelie suffered a devastating accidental boiling water burn on her hands, face and neck. A facebook page WE SUPPORT THE TARVER FAMILY has been created to help support the family and sweet Kaelie through this time of healing.

 In celebration of sweet Kaelie there will be an online auction available the week of August 23-27 for anyone to bid, all items have been donated and all proceeds will be donated to the Tarver Family Fund.  Please visit the WE SUPPORT THE TARVER FAMILY facebook page to leave loving comments, prayers, donate a product/service or learn how to shop the online auction.

{A Little Inspiration Sunday} - eat pray love

 Although I read the book Eat, Pray, Love years ago, I am excited for the movie starring Julia Roberts to open August 13th. To be honest, I have forgotten the details of the book other than the inspiration I gained from reading it: follow your joy.
