Alex and Arthur: Five Favourite Friday Fridays

Five Favourite Friday Fridays

Is it cheating if I post this? I prepared this post for Friday but for some reason I couldn't get Blogger to upload it.   As I haven't quite figured out the final details of my flux capacitor yet it will be a while until I master time travel.  Until then, I'll have to cheat. So rewind, it's Friday!

Red Panda Totem Figure
If you've ever seen a red panda you'd know they're one of the cutest animals (next to Arthur of course).  They look like cuddly stuffed animals.  So imagine how thrilled I was to find this adorable red panda pocket in HandyMaiden's equally adorable etsy shop.  The Badger of Honour military decoration is also a favourite.

Not something I'd ever own but I can dream.  This bag is beautiful!

Quilling

I want to Quill (not Quills, I'll leave that to Geoffrey Rush *shudders*).  Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs.  The paper is wound around a quill to create a basic coil shape -- hence the term "quilling." 

I remember creating some pretty bad-ass Valentine's cards for my parents using this technique in grade 3 but I want to learn to create more intricate designs.

La Boom's Etsy Shop

Look at these adorable Shadow Box Frames, Light Boxes and Pedestals from La Boom's etsy shop.  I want.




Mylk Uncookies

I'm going to post more about this coffee shop later in the week when I recap last Thursday's lunch time adventure but man do I love this place.  I've been there before to pick up some of their vegan goodies (try the hot chocolata cookie) but I never tried anything using their house made almond mylk.  Man, it's good! I never want to drink another kind of almond milk again.  I had a Walnut Ave. tea latte. It was house made almond mylk mixed with Walnut Ave. tea from Tealish.  It tasted like a warm, creamy nut milk -- but actually good and not all groody/pervy my description makes it sound like.  

Maybe I'll convince Dan to drive out that way after work so I can get my tea latte on!

*Author's note: We did not go to Mylk Uncookies on Friday :( *


So there we have my Five Favourite Friday Findings....from last Friday.   Sorry for cheating!

I checked with Arthur to see if he had a problem with me posting a Friday post on Monday.  He said no, but he's always so laid back and relaxed.

Hope your weekend was as lazy as Arthur's!
