Hooray the weekend is here!  I was working last weekend in North Carolina, so I’m happy to have this weekend all to myself. Christian and I plan to hit up a local vodka bar (say what!?) with some friends tonight, and I plan to relax at the beach and have some me time.  I will be taking over the instagram account of Willow Boutique (@WillowBoutique) on Saturday – so y’all be sure to check it out!

Sidenote:  I am planning on selling my Canon Rebel T3.  I purchased it a little less than two years ago and it’s in fabulous condition.  I have the original packaging and warranty (even though it was only for a year…I can’t throw anything away – guilty) and am selling it for $300.  It’s been a fabulous beginner camera and is very user friendly – part of my love affair with Canon.  Email me if interested!  kathleen(at)carriebradshawlied(dot)com.

Y’all have a beautiful weekend and as always, don’t forget to enter the Burt’s Bees giveaway and thank you so much for reading! XO –
