Jenna's Whimsical Handmade Goods.

Meet Jenna. She is more than just my cousin. More than just a best friend. More than just a woman with a huge heart and a love for the little things. More than just a girl with a crazy creative mind and an expansive imagination. And more than just a grown up who is okay with posing like a dinosaur :)  Jenna and her sister Katie have been more like sister's to me. Some of my best memories are from adventures with these two. Jenna has always been that older girl in my life who I thought (and still think) was just so cool. And let me tell you, she is cool and so much more. 

Jenna is the creator of Jennasaurusfun-- her darling Etsy shop full of handmade goods. Crocheted octopus cozies, whimsical beanies (like "Lucy" the dinosaur above), scarves, and a new line that I am so excited about! Teaming up with her design smart husband Blake, there are wooden rings in her shop. A monster, diamond, and owl are first to premiere. And I hear she has so many more to come. You should go check Jenna out. I promise, you will love her.

Weekend snippets.

Yesterday we ventured to Boulder with our neighbors for some tubing down the Creek and appertivos at a little Italian pizzeria. It felt like vacation.

Scarves in the summertime

I love scarves yet I hardly ever wear them anywhere other than around my neck. This sheer camel colored vintage scarf I found in my grandma's dresser. The rose print reminds me of her love for flowers and the hours spent playing dress up at her house. I am a devout user of scarves in the winter, but why my neglect in the summer? I've decided that a delicate scarf is so pretty for summer, especially as a head wrap or headband. And, it can even be worn as a more BoHo hair accessory. The 1950s knew that a scarf was versatile and darling. Let's bring that back, shall we? 

There are some absurdly pretty scarves on sale at Anthropologie right now. I am sure you can find a beauty at a flea market of thrift store for a great steal. But here are some for your viewing pleasure. All three color palettes are great for summertime (or even a pop of color and reminder of sunny days in the cold of winter).

Can you imagine how bright and cheery this one would be as a head wrap adorned with beachy locks? 

Scarves definitely fall in the category of DIY. You can use them in your house as a tablecloth, to refurbish a pillow, add print and color, or even to wrap a gift. What is your go to scarf style and scarf DIY?
