Even though I’m really looking forward to Fall, (it’s going to be an extra great one this year!) I’m determined to fill the rest of the summer with good things. I’ve been planning day trips, plotting visits to farmers markets, and bookmarking summery things to make and do.
Today’s summer loves are just a few of my summer goals:
To Do
Join in a friendship bracelet swap. Jen from Grainline Studio has done all the hard work of organizing and all you need to do is follow the comment directions on this post over on the Grainline blog. I’m going to participate for sure!

To Make
We’ve been lucky and have gotten to have a bunch of friends visiting us the last few weeks. I’ve been working on making our guest room more inviting and I think this lovely, airy bedspread would be a perfect addition! Kojo Designs has a tutorial for making your very own.
To Eat
I’ve been thinking that an ice cream social would be pretty perfect for all of this hot hot heat. Here’s a little round-up of recipes I want to try: Homemade Vegan Ice Cream Bars (via Veggie Wedgie) & Homemade Drumsticks (via I Go By Katie)
Strawberry Peach Vodka Popsicles via Endless Summer
Do you have any just for fun summer goals?


That friendship bracelet thing is such an awesome idea! I love it :)
Also, I learned about Pinterest from you a bit ago and finally got the chance create an account and get started… I haven’t quite figured out what I’m doing with it yet (so far I’ve just cleared out some of my billion bookmarks by moving them to Pinterest instead) but I definitely think it’s gonna be a new obsession of mine… so thanks for sharing :)
I’m so glad you’re liking Pinterest and you’re right it is TOTALLY addicting!! :)
