In no particular order or significance, here are a few Friday Finds:

This wrought-iron heart-shaped gate

Wrought-iron heart-shaped gate

I love wrought-iron work and swirls.  The pattern me of my first armband tattoo.  Not to be confused with my half sleeve.

Sugar snap peas dipped in Mango Ginger Chutney

Jars and jars of this stuff have found their way into my tummy cupboards.

Four jars of Mango Ginger Chutney on shelf

Don’t have a TJs?  Use mango, apricot, or peach jam + pinch of ground ginger + pinch of cayenne or chili powder or red pepper flakes

Crunchy and green meets fruity and ka-pow heat

Overhead of jar of Mango Ginger Chutney openedSounds odd but I dig it.

Maybe you’re more into Mango Ginger Maple Tofu made with the chutney (or jam + ginger + cayenne if you don’t have the mango ginger chutney)

White Pomegranik Stoli Or Blueberi.  Piqued my interest at the grocery store.

White Pomegranik and Blueberry StoliBut it was only 2pm and I had lots to do so took a pass on these.

Jelly beans!

Jars of jelly beans
Jelly beans get stuck in my teeth but that’s ok. I’ll deal.

My interest is always piqued with Starbucks and coffee

Outside of StarbucksBut I’m cheap and when I’m less than 5 minutes from home, I drive home and make my own coffee.  Or Vanilla Iced coffee.

I’m a power drinker and I have their iced coffees sucked down in 18.92 seconds and need a refill.  Alas, I find my own coffee pot and get busy brewin’.

I found this funny because I didn’t know what was so funny!

Wished I knew what was so funny. That’s ok. Laughing sure beats crying!

I found these bars

White Chocolate Vanilla Marshmallow Cake Bars
Sweet enough to cause cavities. Just the way I like my desserts.

And I’m going to hopefully be finding myself a trip to the mall soon.  I hope!

  1. Yippppppeeeeeeeee! I am still so excited I won!!!!!!!

    It is not Friday anymore, but I did find some awesome stuff today (Saturday). I went shopping and got a really pretty dress and some shoes, and a few other little things.

  2. PS – I’m totally the same way about iced coffee or drinks in general.
    “I’m a power drinker and I have their iced coffees sucked down in 18.92 seconds and need a refill.”

  3. Friday Finds – SHOES!! on sale:) Just bought 2 pairs of very cute sandles. Yay!

    Weekend – Working for half, friend catch up, hiking!

  4. Great list, love the gate. I’m the same way with coffee in the morning. A trip to the mall would be fun, I haven’t been in ages.

    1. Booking a hotel for an upcoming anniversary trip I hope. :-)
    2. Not much since I’m on call for work again – ugh! Maybe a movie and lots of house cleaning.

  5. Sounds like a fabulous Friday so far! I love Starbucks but I have the same problem! I drink the entire coffee before I even taste it! :-P

  6. Love Skylar’s happy face! I’ve been reading your blog for the past couple weeks and love your posts! I just made your oatmeal raisin cookie balls- I can’t get over the fact that 4 natural ingredients taste just like dessert! :) I’m not about sacrificing taste either. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into encouraging others. Enjoy the weekend :)

  7. You are so lucky to have Skylar- she is too cute!
    Plans for the weekend.. I just came home from a wine date with a girlfriend, and the rest of the weekend is all work. Maybe a movie with a few friends tomorrow night :)
    I hope youll get a wonderful weekend too :)

  8. Great finds! The design is pretty – and kind of in your fav colors it looks like?
    Mmmm the chutney sounds yum :)

  9. Mango tofu?? Sounds great! I am currently obessesed with Mango salsa and Mango vinaigrette salad dressing. I need to try this!

  10. I’m planning on stopping at the bulk barn on the way home and getting myself some jelly beans! Also, I’m addicted to putting that type of metal stuff on the walls of our home. Every piece I’ve bought so far is made of metal. It’s so darn beautiful!
