Style Scouting: Vol. 114
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

Did you have a good week? Mine was easy going. I’ve been trying to give myself permission to slow down to give my hip rest. It is hard to do as I like to be in moving and creative mode.
2 weeks until a new hip and then I can get back to what I like to do best – make, and create as well as get out and about, walk, hike, paddle and bike. I can walk and stand thanks to taking Celebrex, but no longer than 10 minutes and then its ice, ice baby for me. :-)
I have been spending my days getting back end things on the blog done, planning holiday decorating projects and getting my holiday shopping done online.
I have also made sure my Kindle is stocked with books. It has been the best way to distract myself from feeling lazy and unproductive.
I hope you have a great week and enjoy this week’s links.
