Fern and Feather: take 5: #18 Grace from Grace Happens

Friday, July 9, 2010

1. Indulge: In a spa day with girlfriends and laugh till your belly hurts.

2. Wear: Your mom's vintage clothes and jewelry. Raiding my mom's closet was my favorite thing to do growing up.

3. See: Capri, Italy. I traveled around Europe for one month with my family, and Capri was absolutely breathtaking.

4. Know: How to grow your own organic vegetable garden.

5. Love: The simple things in life. It amazes me how the smallest things can make my son the happiest little boy on earth.

Grace is a local blogger that I met through the ladies at the Rustic Rooster. She is absolutely adorable with the cutest little guy, Harper. Her blog blew up into a business making beautiful burlap runners, which lead her to a spread in Cottages and Bungalows Magazine and a spot on HGTV. She is the perfect example of the power of blogging. Grace, your Take 5 is inspiring and fabulous. Thank you so much!

Hope you all have a great weekend. Today marks one week until my big trip. I am so excited but have so much to do... yikes!
ox, Alexis

Wow, fantastic take 5. Capri is so high on my wish list I can hardly stand it. I'm a wee bit obsessed. And that photo of three friends at the spa makes me so happy.
