Did you know this is our 20th week doing the Weekend Favorites thing together? I’ll be honest – I wasn’t sure I could stick with this, but if I could manage it the last two weeks, which have been totally weird for me, schedule-wise, then I think this series is a keeper. Assuming I can remember what day it is all summer…
On Flickr
Have you seen the new Flickr look? I like it. And somehow, even though I did not spend that much extra time there this week, my favorites mosaic is rather large! I guess there was just a lot of inspiring stuff to be seen.
The mosaic below represents other people’s pictures that spoke to me this week. Be sure to click on the titles below the mosaic, if you want to know more about the image or the photographer behind it.

I think I found your blog shortly after you started these weekend favourite posts and I have to tell you I really enjoy reading them. All the crafty links are the perfect inspiration for weekend projects. Or for admiring while I waste away the morning drinking coffee. Either way, they’re lovely.
I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for sticking around 🙂
