Catalog Living

I just ran across the blog, Catalog Living , through a post on Young House Love . I think it's hilarious! The writer takes rooms out of catalogs and creates conversations that might go on in that setting. Here is a sample...visit the blog for more. I’ve only set out personalized towels for Margaret and Patrick, but I see three people arriving on horseback…if they’re bringing a friend I wish they had told me ahead of time. The embroider is fast but not that fast. Happy Friday!

Samoan Sand

Image
I have long been a fan of OPI's Bubble Bath nail color for toes and hands. Last weekend, I redeemed my mother's day pedicure and tried OPI's Samoan Sand. I love the way it looks against tan feet. I think I may have a new color.

Arts & Crafts

Image
School is out and between visits to the beach and pool, Camille and I have been working on a few art projects. I found a lot of the supplies around the house and at the dollar store so it hasn't been too pricey. 3 for $1 Bags & Iron-on Letters from the Dollar Tree with Iron-on Letters All Set Up & Ready to Decorate Finished Product! Note...I haven't introduced the blogging world to Mimi, Camille's stuffed elephant and what sometimes seems like my third child. More to come on that subject.Mimi really requires her own blog post. Fluffy Dog made from a toilet paper holder, cotton balls, pipe cleaners, pink ball nose and googly eyes. I did most of the work on this one but Camille had fun helping. Art Display in Camille's Room I bought grosgrain ribbon and painted clothes pins pink then hung on the large wall in Camille's room.
