I'm totally making Marzipan's Fruit Tart for a 4th of July picnic we are invited to tomorrow:
Love this Pebble Mat from After I Finish This Row. It's so unique and earthy:
A few years ago, my kids would have gone crazy for this Children's Play Tent from Living with Punks:
And check out this gorgeous rosette pillow from Lemon Tree Creations:
Finally, while blog hopping around to some of my bloggy friends this week, Amanda, from Serenity Now, clued me in to a hilarious website called Catalog Living that had me rolling!
The premise behind this blog, is to poke fun at the room designs photographed for catalogs like Pottery Barn. In this imaginary world, Elaine and Gary live in these rooms. Snippet of conversations serve as captions for these staged rooms. Love it! Let's pay tribute to the imaginative author of this website.
I thought I'd try my hand at it and offer an impromptu linky party to anyone who wants to join me. Here is a photo from Arhaus Catalog:
Honestly, Gary, those darn birds are so spoiled!Want to try it? Dig out your catalogs and either link up with a post of your own or come up with a caption to this photo. Come on try it, it's fun! I'll post the winner for my Sunday Funny.
Kids, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times. You sit on the cushions, not the back or arms!
ReplyDeleteThat catalog living blog had me in stitches! - busting out laughing while trying not to make any sound so I wouldn't wake the kids - but man, did I ever need that laugh! I'll never look at the restoration hardware catalogs the same way again!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness we put the *leather* chairs out on the deck--bird poop is so hard to get out of chenille.
