2.17.17 Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! It's been a busy Valentine's Day week, but a wonderful one, spending time with my husband, family, and friends!

Here's my Valentine's Day week, Friday Favorites list, the things that caught my eye and made me swoon this week! 

1. Apple Pencil 

One of my Valentine's Day presents was an Apple Pencil, which I am super excited to use with my iPad Pro and the Pro Create app! Typography has always been one of my favorites and I'm excited to learn more about hand lettering and graphic illustration on my iPad!

2. Kate Spade Keds

How adorable are these Kate Spade Keds?! I'm all about some comfy shoes, but sometimes adorable and fashionable, don't always go hand in hand with comfort. These are both! They would be perfect for running errands or even dressing up for Sunday brunch.  Adorable!

3. Mint Tassel Earrings 

With the warm weather we've had, I couldn't resist being in the spring trends spirit. So, I decided to make some new tassel earrings to add to the Etsy shop.  I am loving these mint tassels! They would be perfect for any spring or summer outfit, and adorable with your favorite Lilly Pulitzer dress!

4. Southern Pressed Juicery

I was so excited to try Southern Pressed Juicery this week at a Valentine's Day pop-up, helping my sweet friend Tabathia of The Adorned Fox.   Since we were there most of the day, I tried the Honeysuckle Dew smoothie for breakfast and the Mama's Jam parfait for lunch.  Both were amazing and so fresh!  Plus, the Mama's Jam is almost too pretty to eat!  Check it out in that cute glass jar!

5.  Jones Gap State Park

I remember the first time I went to Jones Gap with my husband and his family.  We were only dating then, and it was in the fall of 2009.  Since then, it's been one of our favorite places to hike.  The views are gorgeous and it's a fairly easy trail, if you're not an avid hiker.  My husband and I went for a hike on Sunday and it was beautiful!  It had been way too long since we had been there.  If you've never been to Jones Gap State Park, you need to check it out!  It's only a short drive from Greenville.

6. Life Of Bliss Blog - Wreath

I started following LifeofBlissBlog on Instagram this week, after I came across this image.  I love absolutely everything about it!  The wreath, the flowers, the pillows...  All. of. it. !!  Her page is gorgeous and it inspires me to redecorate my whole house in Spring decor!  Beautiful!

Meet Emily Painter - Article from The Clutch

I was beyond excited when The Clutch approached me to write an article about what I do.  

If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, etc., you know that I have a lot on my plate when it comes to creating!  I'm a photographer, graphic designer, Etsy shop owner, jewelry designer, crocheter, painter, blogger, and all around craft lover.  When I started writing the article about Painter Designs and who I am, my feelings and emotions about all of the things that happened in the last year, really started coming to the surface.  So, I went with it!  

Here's the finished product on The Clutch!
