Fridays Unfolded #48

i'm sitting here at my eight year old computer
wearing my winter week-a-day outfit
of comfy trousers
schleppy sweater
worn t-shirt

my face sans make-up
hair (really) undone

thinking about this post
that i read last week from The Inspired Room
where Melissa wrote a bit about
how this virtual world can sometimes inspire a little

envy

there
i said it

and i have had my greenish moments
gazing in wonder at the lovely homes
amazing photos
taken by expensive cameras

adorable but pricey outfits
room renovations
that looked amazing in the first place

but sitting here in my everyday
non-fluffed up skin

in my old and imperfect house
with plastic covering the70 year old kitchen window
to keep out icy drafts

i want to encourage us all
that although we can
and should
be inspired and delighted by all the wonderful posts
linked up here each week on


we must also realize
that we are nearly always viewing the best
of what we have to offer each other

rather than the wet-cheerios-dried-on-the-floor-
fingerprints-in-the-dust-on-the-shelf-
books-tented-on-the-sofa-
pancakes-for-dinner-
overflowing-laundry-basket bits

all that to say

enjoy the projects and posts shared here
with the full knowledge
that they are written and photographed
by wonderfully imperfect people
just like you and me

now
onto the lovely highlights
from last week's


if you're on the hunt
for breakfast ideas

here's a great post from Mom On Timeout
for making bunches of breakfast burritos
for those morning meals on the go


or you could make something a little sweeter
like these yummy pies-on-a-stick from I Could So Make That



i absolutely adore
this kitchen dresser makeover by Meg and Mum's


and this beautified buffet from Dumped and Discovered


and just how sweet is this little boy's room
from Down to Earth Style?
