Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Just wanted to do some catching up and share some photos that have been living on my camera roll... ;)

Happy (early) Thanksgiving, friends! I know turkey day is tomorrow, but I wanted to share some of my favorite small shops, just in case you'll be working on that Christmas list this weekend. ;)

I've always had a soft spot for artists and small business because I know a lot of time, passion and purpose goes into everything they do & create. I know we're all gonna go to the mall and the big box stores, but let's not forget the little guys this Holiday season.... or all year long for that matter! ;)

So grab some coffee (or hot cocoa) and start browsing! Plus I'm sure many will be having sales since small business Saturday is also coming up! ;)

Guys, I opened an Etsy shop! Now you can get my prints as printables for only $5!!

And yes, I know I'm pretty late to the Etsy game and there are already tons of people selling printables, but I'm still super excited to offer this as an affordable option to buy my designs.

How has it been two weeks since my last Sunday coffee? I really don't even know where the last two weeks went. I was under the weather for a few days (feeling better now!), but still. The days are just flying by! So grab your cup of coffee (or tea) and let’s do this!

I have a little treat for you guys today. I know a lot of people have Christmas on the brain, but I'm here to share a little Thanksgiving printable for your home.

I actually used this quote on the desktop wallpapers and thought it would make a perfect art printable too. It's a nice reminder to have during the Holidays... and the design is simple and versatile enough that you could keep it up all year long. ;) Plus, it comes in two colors and two sizes; black or rust in 8x10 or 11x14.

So, we technically don't live in the Outer Banks. We're about 35-40 minutes but we spend a heck of a lot of time up there! We live in a small town with little to do, so we'll head to the beach if we have errands to run or want to do something "fun". We're hoping that next year we can find a cute house a little closer, but honestly I don't mind the drive.

The sound of the waves excites my spirit and soothes my soul. I love stopping for coffee at my favorite little shop and I'll just sit on the sand or walk the shore, even if it's just for 5 minutes. And like I mentioned in a previous post, we're still adjusting to a new routine. So it felt really good to get some beach time in. Especially this time of year, the empty beaches and evening light have me looking like the heart-eye emoji.

Our only real limit is ourselves.
Don’t let fear and doubt keep you from your happiness.

A little Monday motivation for ya. ;)
Let's have a great week!

So I did a little baking over the weekend and sweet goodness is this bread yummy! I know I'm not the only one who looks forward to all the Pumpkin goodies this time of year. And yes, it might be #basic, but ya know what? I don't care! ;)

This is actually my favorite banana bread recipe just tweaked a little - by adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice! So if you're one of the few that doesn't like pumpkin, just make banana bread! It's so delicious and I think you should really give it a try!

And so what if I ate half the loaf by myself! #noshame
