Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust. (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...
Those are all really nice things. Maybe if you're a good girl you'll get some of them :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't toy with my emotions. :-P
DeleteYou always share the prettiest things. Right now I'd just like more storage space for what I already have. One of the free standing cabinets in my kitchen is about ready to bit the dust so I'm keeping an eye out for a (hopefully prettier) replacement.
ReplyDeleteI'd like more storage space as well. We're bursting at the seams. I guess it forces you to go through things every now and then to throw out/donate what you don't use. See if you have a Habitat for Humanity ReStore close to you. You'd be surprised what you can find and refinish on the cheap!
DeleteI am a sucker for sheets:) and love those candles and lanterns!! Now I have to live by the beach...hehehe
ReplyDeleteMe too! (Obviously! LOL) I wouldn't mind living by the beach either!
DeleteI never used to love "summer" colors, but I've been crushing on them lately. I was always more of a jewel tone person, but now I'm learning summer colors are just sparkly, happy jewel tones. Plus, they remind me of the 80s. When I went to Lane Bryant the other day, I felt like I was looking at my middle school wardrobe. I have so much turquoise, bright pink, and grape going on right now it's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteBottom line: I want those seaside candles.
LOVE West Elm. I was just there last weekend and could have spent so much more money than I did. I totally want to hang lanterns like that on our porch, but Chris is not convinced.
ReplyDeletewow, just thought to tell you that my hubs actually manufactures stuff like the lanterns and (more)

I REALLY like the dinnerware, too! It looked perfect on the placemat. Good crushes!
