Happy Friday!! Hope you have something warm and cozy planned for this Winter weekend.

Here’s our Weekly Six for the week ending January 20, 2012:

1) Kelly of Design Crush has put together a delicious list of dips – it’s almost Super Bowl, so these suggestions have good timing!
2) Loving this modern clocks made from concrete.
3) Check out these historical B & W photos that have been rendered into color photos – they’re causing quite the argument in the comments at Designboom.
4) These DIY confetti-filled lanterns would make a fun birthday surprise – no matter what age the person is!
5) One can never have too much neon – which is why I’m needing these awesome neon and metallic notecards.
6) Finally, go take a look at this curated dream home over at La Dolce Vita – always a fun column to read!

As always, feel free to share any good reads you’ve found over the past week!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead – here’s my weekly six picks from this week! Feel free to share some of yours!

Weekly Six:

1) I’m absolutely positively obsessed with this throw. Why does it have to be so pricey?!

2) Loving this 2011 in Review of Designer Desktops from Design Milk. Which is your fave?

3) I haven’t yet disclosed to you about my strong desire to get engaged (It’s been 4.5 years, it’s time!). But when I saw these erasers, I knew I needed them.

4) You can never go wrong with some flashy furniture.

5) This Gingersnap Milkshake is the perfect holiday dessert! (Plus, it can be made gluten- and dairy-free)

6) How great is the concept of Exploded Flowers? I want one of these in my kitchen!

See you on Monday!

Happy Friday! How have the first two days of December been treating you?

After a break from last Friday, it’s nice to be back with a Weekly Six. As always, if you’ve read anything this week you want to share, please do so in the comments! Here are my faves from the past week:

1) Aren’t these Not Knot pillows fun? They’d make a great gift this season!

2) Have you sent out your holiday cards yet? It’s still a bit early, I know but these sparkly letterpress cards are one of my favorites.

3) I might have to order myself some of these delicious-looking chocolates that Oh Joy! was snacking on this week.

4) If you have a second, definitely check out this project called The States, in which the designer fills the outline of each state with something different. I’ll admit, some states were difficult for me to figure out!

5) I need one of these in my office. Gotta look into this immediately!

6) How awesome is this lamp? It’s made from one single sheet of paper folded into a dimensional design.

Happy Friday!! How are you spending the first lovely weekend of November? Will it be even lovelier due to the hour we’ll gain from Daylight Savings Time?

Here are this week’s Weekly Six links to check out, as collaged above!

1) Wouldn’t this Cookies and Cream Oreo Bark be a great dessert item to bring to parties this holiday season?

2) I keep going back to check out these colorful Bfrend bracelets – they’ll make great gifts! (For others and for myself!)

3) The lights lining the floor and going up the wall to the ceiling in this image are so festive – I definitely need to do something like this in my home for the holidays!

4) Here’s another fun thing to do with Christmas lights – poke them through canvas for a bright display.

5) The Holiday Gift Guide by Emily Henderson will not only give you great gift ideas, but also several fun DIYs for gift-giving and decorating.

6) How cool is this Inlamp by Sai Design Studio? Instead of typical lamps that stay on display whether on or off, the Inlamp has its own special cabinet for when not in use.

What fabulous things have you seen this week? We’d love for you to share them!

Happy Friday!

Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Ladies, if you do – maybe you should consider this adorable 1960s hairdo for whatever fun fiesta or outing you may be attending.

Even though it’s still morning, I saw this mac n’ cheese over at Happiness Is… and I can’t fight the cravings! I might have to make the recipe from Gojee this weekend.

As far as fashion goes, check out this new unique watch from Nooka or these endearing bracelets from Gracelette that donate to the homeless.

If you have a few minutes, check out this beautiful tree house. Would you want to live in one of these? I think I would!

And finally, a fun filing cabinet project to add some fabulousness to your office.
