friday link love.

can't believe it's friday! ready to get some things done this weekend... though we just got the newest season of dexter and i'm about halfway through it, so i'll probably have my eyes glued on that for some time too.

we'll be having dinner with an out of town friend tonight, excited about that!

and two of my favorite people had birthdays this week - my dad and my friend rachel.

ready for some links?

this diy brooch bouquet on blushink is gorgeous. wish i had found this before i got married!

love these tips on watering your garden from going home to roost. especially love that painted rain barrel. i've wanted to make one these last several years, i just don't know that we get enough rain to warrant one!

this rick-rack baby blanket on prudent baby is really cute. i guess i need to get my act together and sew some up... it seems like friends everywhere are pregnant!

some tips on best lenses for wedding photography on the mansurovs. they always have great reviews and advice!

design*sponge had some great before and afters this week...
