TGIF ~ The Gems I Found

Happy Friday friends!  

I always love checking out the end of the week posts of friends around the blogosphere.
You know, where they list posts that caught their attention. I love the variety,
randomness, design, and coming across a new-to-me blogger mixed in with
a favorite seasonal recipe or a dose of fashion!

Some of my favorites:
  

Emily's Saturday 6, Rene's Link Love, Kate's Weekend Reading, 

Jen's The Love List,  Beth's My Favorites this Week, Albertina's Friday Links,

I've planned to post one for the last couple Fridays but got stuck on a name,
 the curse of being detailed! I've settled on one, and here are 'The Gems I Found.'

My darling blog friend Katie @ Miss Dixie created a fabulous IKEA Hack!

How chic are these Frontgate Adour Raised Pet Dishes wouldn't they look
great mixed among your summer flower pots!
A fun Mother's Day gift for a dog lover (hint, hint, family).
