My Favourite Pins This Week

While I’m not exactly all about the unicorn craze (although my 5 year old is completely crazy for all things unicorn!), I do believe that fun rainbow sprinkles and bit of frosting go a long way to making everything awesome. Enter in Unicorn Banana Bread – full of rainbow sprinkles inside and out. Perfect for anyone who loves rainbows, or needs cheering up via baked goods. Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe can be found here.

When it comes to food for entertaining, I’m all about the minimal (or zero) cooking to make it easy. Enter in the bread dipping station –  Lots of fresh crusty bread, and recipes for three different flavoured oils for dipping- lemon zest dipping oil, balsamic garlic dipping oil, and red pepper with herbs dipping oil. Add some wine and a cheese plate, and you’ve got yourself a party. Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

Love this idea for customizing a door mat- and cheery succulents are perfect for combating the dreary weather ahead! Considering that it is based off of clip art, the same techniques could be used for all sorts of images that you could paint onto a door mat. Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY is here.

Speaking of succulents, I love this little succulent garden idea with the gemstones. So pretty, an what a great gift idea. Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY can be found here.

Oh Coco Chanel. So very wise. Pinterest link is here, although the original source is sadly lacking.

How is it the first weekend of November already? The clocks are turning back this weekend, and I’m looking forward to an extra hour to get a little more done. I have so much catching up to do, and I’m way behind on my blogging…. I hope everyone has a cozy weekend!
