Friday Favorites, 1.17.2025.

 

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you've had a great week; mine has been very full, very busy, and really good. I have nothing to complain about! I'm grateful for the things that have kept me busy this week and look forward to the weekend and even next week. I have some favorites from this week that I'll jump in with! Here goes...

around the house:

I was given all these favorite things that you see hanging in the pictures above. The sign is from my friend Kristy several years ago and has recently come to mean a lot to me. I also love the elephant my friend Andrea gave me last year, and I love what it means; regarding friendship it means loyalty, strength, and resilience. 

Having my things easily accessible is a favorite; I have two tables by my chair. The table to my left that you see pictured above has the things I might need at any given moment: a book I'm reading, my favorite coaster that a friend gave me years ago, and a little gold picture frame with one of my favorite passages of Scripture written out. The one on my right is pictured below. 

I love this little spinning container that I keep all the necessities in: lotion, glasses, pens, the remote, and there's an empty spot left open for my phone. I found this little container at Home Goods several years ago, along with the table that it sits on before that. The top is what you see pictured, but I love that it has a shelf underneath as well; I've got some books that I read there sitting on it along with a small Bible. 

This wall is my favorite; I did this last weekend when I was snowed in. Out of the things you see, the copper piece is my favorite. There used to be a desk on this wall; before Thanksgiving, Jonah and I moved that desk to another spot, and it freed up this wall. Even though it bothered me right away, once the Christmas tree was there, I didn't pay it any attention. Once the tree was gone, it was obvious that the wall needed something. I had these things hanging in other places throughout my home, so I just repurposed them to this space. That's one of my favorite things to do! 

podcasts and quiet time:

This podcast is one of my favorites; I listened to two of the episodes this week and will resume today since I have the day off. I don't always listen to podcasts, but when I do, I want this one or one that makes me laugh (like The Big Boo Cast). 

Who knew Job would be my favorite place to read right now? I got so much out of my quiet time while I was reading this Old Testament book in the Bible. 

around town:

I have a thing for churches with steeples! The one with the red door is in my town just off the square. The other one was one that I passed on my way home one night this week. It looked so beautiful against the snowy grass and the dark blue sky that I had to stop for a picture. 

outfits & colors:

Color is my favorite right now! 

sunsets:

I love the one right above this, but that one is from last year; the first one was as I was walking into church Wednesday night. 

food:

I visited my favorite food truck this week; it's the first time I've been since May of last year! I can't believe it's been that long, but it reminds me of something I'd rather forget, so you can see why I waited. I started thinking about it last week, though, and I had to go. 

What was something that was a favorite for you this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!
