Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
Love the sconces too! And who wouldn't love those twiggy pencils?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I enjoy seeing your meal pics (you give me ideas for Trader Joe's), I'm liking this post too.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the twig pencils and like them also, as well as the soap dispensers from Anthropologie. I'd like my soap dispensers in a tray, rather than the wire basket.
I don't have anything that I'm crushing on - I've recently acquired some new to me items from family who is downsizing.
Hey when you get that mountain home by the lake let us know. We will all come for a blogger party. LOL
ReplyDeleteI second that! I'm still crushing on a little bowl I got from https://www.theanimalrescuesite.com store, just the perfect size for the two poached eggs I have every morning for breakfast. Yes, I'm boring, but my blue speckled bowl with a dragonfly in the bottom is not.
ReplyDeleteI HOPE I'll be crushing on the Kindle cover that should arrive from Amazon today. I'll let you know. Pink leather, anyone?
"These twig color pencils at World Market are so cute. They don't really go with any motif in the house but I can totally see them in a cool glass jar on a desk in front of the window overlooking the lake from the mountain home I don't own."
ReplyDeletelol That made me giggle! I always shop and want stuff that won't go with anything in my home, I wish I had the money to just change my whole motif. I agree, those pencils would look great in a cool glass jar on a desk in front of the window overlooking the lake from the mountain home you don't own. Mine too!
There are so many things I want - but I don't have the money or space for them. Mostly I just want to get rid of a bunch of stuff. I think I'm crushing on your non-existent mountain home a little bit though.
ReplyDeleteCool stuff!! Love the pencils! All I'm crushing on right now is the 50-70 degree temps I left behind in Colorado since we just arrived home to 102!!! BLECH!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, fine with me if you make this a regular feature--I love seeing what cool stuff you find!
ReplyDeleteThe first part of this post made me giggle. My dad is an electrician and he took us on a tour of a new house he was wiring. It was lovely with lots of sconces around. The home builder/owner was there too and kept pointing out the beautiful scones on the wall. Yup, he called them scones too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I go to Anthro I covet that sink set! And then I remember how much soap I have at home and I put it back. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pencils and love seeing what catches your fancy!!
