Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week, with an even better weekend coming up. If you read anything good this week, we’d love to check it out – feel free to share in the comments!

As for me, here’s my Weekly Six:

• I read about Kate’s story from For Me, For You this morning. Her boyfriend was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer, so she’s posted some of their work on Etsy in an effort to pay off his medical debts. The image above is one of her boyfriend’s collages, available in their shop. I urge you to check it out and help if you can.
• Check out some more gorgeous prints recommend by Decor8
• Learn how to peel an entire head of garlic in just 10 seconds
• Dream about owning these fun and funky pieces by Kirv
• Take a look at this feminine bedroom with an awesome chandelier and decorative ceilings
• Round it all out by making these cute and easy brown paper flowers

Happy Friday! Here’s to spending the first weekend of October relaxing and enjoy the Autumn season. What are your plans for this weekend?

No matter what your plans, be sure to squeeze in some time to enjoy the weekly 6:

1. Instead of Google Earth-ing your home on the computer, get yourself a Google Earth rug like the one shown above.
2. Wouldn’t it be fun to serve warm soups and chilis in these funky bowls supported by feet?
3. Try a new recipe such as these seasonal pumpkin whoopie pies…
4. Or add some sparkle to a dessert with gold edible glitter.
5. Create your own statement wall art with a canvas, shoe polish and your favorite poem.
6. Dream about relaxing as a queen on a beautiful modern throne.

Sometimes I book a Friday Five and I feel like I need to end the column and go out like Seinfeld – on a high note. This is one of those Friday Fives… but don’t stick a fork in me just yet… Michael Graves , FAIA, has been in the forefront of architecture and design since he founded his practice in 1964.

Happy Friday!

If you’re on the East Coast, are you prepping for Hurricane Irene? As I’m located in Northern New Jersey, I’m planing on wearing those fabulous glittered pumps instead of a chronic bitchface this weekend!

I’d also like to whip up a batch of these cereal bars to snack on if the power gets out.

Then I’ll dream about these lovely lamps in my house and throwing a party with fun flotation decor.

What are your plans for the weekend?
