This week's Friday Favorites is inspired by yesterday's post. I love this photo of an abandoned New York City bike by Aptrick. It is both lovely and lonely. There is an entire series of these photos of forgotten bicycles throughout New York. You can check them out here.
Happy weekend, everyone. Perhaps a bike ride is in the plans?
I can really identify with the driving (okay, biking) force behind the latest endeavor of Nick Hand, British graphic designer/photographer/father of three/friend of artisans extraodinaire.
He has set out on this beautiful bike trip, collecting (and of course sharing) stories from the artisans he meets along the way.
Sound incredible? It gets even more so when you read where your sponsorship of his ride goes.
Follow his amazing trek here and here.
In the meantime, I will polish my pedals here in Rochester, NY and fantasize about the British coast.

(Thanks so much to Betsy Greer's post about this; I'd never have heard about it otherwise.)
I just came across Hayley Cormo's work via Heart Handmade (where you can read a charming Q&A with her). I popped over to see her shop and this is what I found. Screen printed vintage borders and oversized, handmade award ribbons? Yes please.
Oh and all the ribbons? They have names.
You can also find her gorgeous drawings in the shop and her website.
This Floral Fete made-to-order dress from fcpcares has been on my mind since I first spotted it a couple of months ago. The perfectly-pleated bust, the rosette flowers trailing the hem, the cut and length flattering to so many figures... it is pure loveliness.
My next trip to Columbus, OH will surely include a stop at Substance, the lovely boutique inspiring this etsy shop... until then, I will fantasize about having the occasion for such a dress. (Or perhaps fantasize about creating the occasion for such a dress?...)
Happy shopping, and happy weekend!
