The Last Thing Thursdays {#5}

It's Thursday (OY VEY where did the week go?) again!! Time for another round of my Last Things!! 



BOUGHT FOR MYSELF:
This necklace from my adorable and amazing friend Megan from Across The Pond. She just opened her new SHOP -- it's filled to the brim with beautiful jewelry, and I'm smitten with all of it (and her :)!

ATE (THAT WAS BAD FOR ME): A caramel apple. I just can't say NO to these--they call my name with false promises of being "good for me cause there's an apple in there somewhere")

ATE (THAT WAS GOOD FOR ME): More Coconut Almond Butter w/ Apples (ummm I might like apples a little, ok?). A lot of you asked me how to make this/where to get it when I talked about it in THIS post. So here is my recipe:

3 Cups Almonds
1/2 Cup Organic Coconut Oil or Butter
1 tsp. Honey
1 pinch of Sea Salt


**Grind all the ingredients in a food processor and VOILA! Easy Peasy DELICIOUSNESS!! :)

PINNED: Inspiration Pics for my Office/Art Room. This is my next big project. I am really excited about having my OWN ROOM to craft, design and work in. YAY!

So far..I'm thinking THIS color palette....
 With THIS look/vibe:
You can follow me on Pinterest here
CRAFTED: Some new jewelry designs after I went to the Gem Fair and found these gorgeous Druzy Stones. I am SO EXCITED about these new bracelets!!! I'll show you pics when they are done! :)

FELT NERVOUS ABOUT: The possibility of opening my own jewelry shop. It's a little daunting...but I think know I'm READY!

SWOONED OVER: Anything and everything Chevron (my hubby said "Like the Gas Station?").

  6. I think that color palette is perfect. Dainty but not too pastelly and it has a modern feel too. Your office will be sweet!

    Don't be nervous about opening your own shop! Sounds like you have plenty of ideas and elbow grease and imagination :) It'll go great.

    Congrats on the jewelery shop. I'm so uncrafty.
