In fact, I might go as far as to say, she sort of looked like her blog...(the outfit she was wearing when we first met perfectly matched her blog banner, it was really quite fantastic.)
Not only has Danni kindly agreed to share her favorite things with us this week, but she's also offering up a $30 gift certificate to her immensely lovely shop, which would more than cover one of the perfect little necklaces below (I should note that I'm coveting that peacock one in an altogether unnatural way...)
Just leave a comment on this post by midnight CT on Tuesday, February 23rd for a chance to win, and I'll announce the lucky reader on Wednesday!
So without further ado, Herewith Danni's favorites, enjoy and have a lovely weekend!

hi friends! it was so fun searching around, finding images of some of my favorites to share with you. i have certain things that are definitely favorites of mine. thanks joslyn for letting me share on your lovely blog this week! here is a list of my top 10 favorites:
flea markets - i may have a teeny tiny problem: i am a hoarder! somehow i always find myself at a flea market, swap meet, or a thrift store. whenever i walk into a thrift store, i get such an excited feeling about the treasures i'll discover. i told my fiancee that one time and he thought i was so silly. (image by photphobia)
traveling - if i had all the money in the world, i would travel. i would take my man and go around the world.. starting with the places we most want to go. (first on our list: israel, egypt, and italy) (image by christian cruz)
skeleton keys - maybe i watched cinderella one too many times when i was a kid but the scene where the evil stepmother locks cinderella in her room when the prince comes: i LOVE the key!!!! and just the whole locking a door with an old skeleton key is one of my absolute favorites. when i went to denmark a few years ago, one of the houses we visited had an old lock in the door and i remember just sitting there for 20 minutes locking and unlocking the door ;) (image by MAOJ)
jane austen - what can i say, i'm a romantic at heart. i love this era. i love the fashion. i love the customs and the simple times. i love the characters of jane austen's stories. this image doesn't exactly say jane but it reminds me of a beautiful scene from one of her books. (image by adebⓞnd)
packages - i love a pretty package all wrapped up with lots of thought and care and loveliness.(image by oh, hello friend.)
rain - crazy. that is the usual response i get when i tell people i love the rain. it isn't depressing, i LOVE it! i could just sit and watch it rain all day long. i would LOVE for it to rain on my wedding day! (love this wedding shot) (image by braedon photography)
anthropologie - before i go traveling with all the money in the world, i would stop at anthropologie and purchase.. everything! i love everything about this store from the goods they carry down to the design of the clothing tags. (image by anthropologie)
pms 124 - i love this shade, and really any shade of goldenrod yellow. i definitely plan to use this color in my wedding ;) (image by ruche)
collecting - going back to number 2 and my issue with hoarding things, a better way to put it is that i 'collect' things! i love collecting treasures and special finds that i come across at thrift stores. lately i've been collecting clocks, old books, and pretty plates! (image by oh, hello friend.)

I love that necklace... and that shade of yellow is my favorite.
danni's necklaces would definitely be on "my favorite things" list.

I love the rain and goldenrod yellow too :)

I love Danni's blog and i participated in her Lovely Package Exchange. She seems a very generous person. I just read on her blog that her fiance has lost his job. I hope people support her by purchasing those goodies they have been thinking about from Danni's etsy store!
I simply adore Oh, Hello Friend. Her blog is a breath of fresh air, reminiscent of the first sunny days of spring, and I'm so glad to see it featured on Simple Lovely! <3

I love Oh, Hello Friend and also get goosebumps walking into a thrift store at the thought of what might await me. And that shade of yellow is just glorious.
i love so many of the same things that danni loves! from thrift shopping, to traveling, to anthropologie, to goldenrod yellow! i am superbly in love with yellow this year!!! it makes me soo happy when i see anything with yellow! i would really love a chance at this giveaway, danni has some adorable little things in her shop that i have been eyeing!
I love all the things you love (except your fiance lol).
You have such amazing shop! those necklaces are just stunning! ♥
Love them all...
Happy weekend.
love her blog and shop - already a follower! =)
Oooh, thanks for introducing me to a new blog to love! :) I am simpatico with almost all of your favorites (substitute my husband for your boyfriend and yellow for greay and I could have written this list!).
I am in love with amour! I would love a chance to win. Thanks...I mean, Merci!
that peacock is definitely going on my favorites list.
Beautiful things
What a lovely shop AND person! All the necklaces are stunning, but I think my favorites are the key, the peacock, and the hot air balloon. Thanks Joslyn!
Love the necklaces and the favorites! They are some of my favorites too!
I love her engagement story on her blog. I must say I am smitten with the let it rain necklace!
She and I share several favorite things. And I really div her jewelry.
I heart rain also. There is something so relaxing about it and makes me want to curl up next to a window with an old fave book. The grey hat with the yellow coat is gorgeous.
Gorgeous list, and beautiful necklaces! Thanks for introducing her to us!
Everything in her shop is beautuful!
beautiful. everything.
So this is what love looks like! Absolutely obsessed with this style... bookmarked her site to share with others! Thanks for introducing me to another great blog <3
Already a follower of Hello, Friend. Love the blog :)
it could be nice to wear necklaces like this ones in this 'wintertime with lot of snow but waiting soon for spring'-situation
Love the skeleton keys, the necklace, the blog...
what a lovely list of favorite things! I like the rain too. everyone in my California hometown thought I was crazy for moving to Oregon. At some point before I left they all said to me, "you know it rains there right? like a lot." California just never had enough "make a cup of tea, sit by the fire in some big socks, and read" sort of days for me.
I adore "AMOUR." :) The "float away" hot air balloon necklace is really special too. I'd love to win.
Danni's stuff is so great.

love her blog, and what a nice list!
So I just bought the peacock necklace and feel guilty--like I took it from a friend who was coveting it! Don't count me in the gift cert drawing, but do let me know if you really did want it. I need to go on a spending hiatus myself!

Just discovered your blog and Danni's via CuriousBird. How lovely! I'll definitely be visiting more in the future!
whenever i walk into a thrift store, i get such an excited feeling about the treasures i'll discover. i told my fiancee that one time and he thought i was so silly.
I don't think you're silly! I feel the same way!
And I'm heading to Denmark soon! I shall be on the hunt for old locks with skeleton keys!!
Thanks for sharing!

Peacock (feathers) were the theme from my wedding...so I have a strong affinity towards them. Gorgeous stuff!
