High Five for Friday

This week I'm high fiving for...

1. It's (almost) my birthday!
Last year I turned 21 - this year isn't quite as exciting. Or uncertain.
I'm so excited to go out with the husband tonight, go thrifting tomorrow, see my parents on Sunday, and make candles with my lady friends on Monday! Woohoo!

2. Mega crafting.
This week I've made some cosmetic changes at the Farthing household, including transforming this lamp. Miles parents had it for countless years, then gave it to Miles. It subsequently endured boy college life. I should get an award for making this thing pretty.

Aaaaand I recovered our headboard! I could not love it more! It matches perfectly with our new sheets and bedding and just makes me feel better about life. 

This beauty finally got hung last night! 

3. Red velvet heaven.
The hands down best froyo place in Durham (Local Yogurt) had my all time favorite flavor this Tuesday - red velvet cake. I frequently call them to see what their flavors are and almost died of joy upon hearing "red velvet." And husband was nice enough to suggest we go. Didn't even have to ask. Boom. Winning.

4. Lolz. 
I got to hang out with this cutie and her sweet mama this week. I let Kate play on my phone while her mom & I were talking. When I got home and went through my phone I found tons of hilarious pictures she had taken without me even realizing. SO cute.

5. Our first snow! 
Last night it snowed for the first time this winter! Even though it was only a rough dusting, it was still magical and exciting!

  1. Liz...Love the lamp! You did an excellent job restoring it. Actually, the lamp belonged to my mom and dad before I inherited it...so it's lasted three generations:-) I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend! Love you.

    1. Oh wow! I had no idea it was your parents before you guys got it. So cool! The picture above is actually the before pic but it has a nice new coat of paint on it and a new lampshade!

  2. Looks like you got more snow than we did here. I'm jealous! I have been waiting to have some snow cream... especially since I didn't get any last year!!

    I'm a new follower, btw, from over at {Country} Life with a Front Porch View. I found your post via H54F!! Hope you'll stop by my neck of the woods soon!

  3. Love your ambition with all of the DIY projects this week! Send some my way because I have a long list of yet to be done but have the supplies for projects sitting around.
