Friday Five

Work is gearing up for the holidays pretty aggressively: not only do we have Black Friday and Small Business Saturday specials going, we've also planned a Cyber Monday sale, a 12 Days of Christmas campaign, and special in-store holiday shopping events. Guess who gets to make all the graphics and send all the emails and set up all the online sales? (Hint: it's me.) It's a little stressful, but I love being busy!

Here's what's been on my radar this week.

ONE One Horse Threads Black Friday sale

I know many of y'all are fans of One Horse Threads- I am, too! I have several of their shirts and wear them to work, the barn, and out in public all the time. These would make super gifts for all sorts of people- horsey and those who just enjoy horse-centric looks. You can save 30% and get free shipping with code HOLIDAY30 through Sunday! 

TWO Williams-Sonoma recipes

It's no secret I love cooking; I love Williams-Sonoma for their high-quality kitchen supplies and regularly wander through their Tulsa store. Lately, I've been obsessed with their online recipes. I made a beef stew last week that was out of this world. The green bean casserole recipe from yesterday's Thanksgiving feast was also from their site- it was a hit with everyone. Plus, the photography is stunning. 

THREE Blogging From The Barn Facebook group

Tracy of Fly On Over highlighted this group in her recent Favorite Equestrian Facebook Pages post. I joined it, and am now totally obsessed. Everyone is pleasant, there are so many new blogs to read, I can creep on some of y'all. 

FOUR Ariat Primo Down Jacket

This jacket...Ever since we got this in the store, I've had my eye on it. It's less shiny in person and more of a soft brown-grey. And y'all...it is soft. Like, soft and squishy and perfect. We've sold all the jackets we received except for the extra-small, which is somewhere in the Fat Guy in a Little Coat range for me. I'm seriously considering ordering one for myself, even though I need another jacket like I need a hole in my head.

FIVE Thoroughbred Athletes

As the owner of two almost-elderly Thoroughbred (ages 19 and 17), I always kind of have my eye on younger prospects. Even though Moe and Gina are sound and reliable, I question how much I really want to push them as they age. I also enjoy the process of bringing greenies along. (In case you're wondering, Freddie is still around and still getting time off.) Thoroughbred Athletes is my favorite OTTB non-profit in Oklahoma. It's a huge mistake to follow them on Facebook, because they're always posting pictures of cute TBs who are looking for homes. Can I sneak another horse to the barn without Johnny noticing? Thoroughbred Athletes makes me want to find out.

What are y'all into this week?
