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...

Wanna go window shopping?

It's time to see what I'm crushin' on.  Let's go window shopping!

West Elm released some cool new stuff, let's take a peek!

I love the cute coastal look of this Outdoor Metal Drink Bucket.  You can decorate it for parties, take it to a family picnic or heck even bathe the dog in style in the yard.  (Um, then wash it out thoroughly before using it for drinks again.  Don't tell people you're doing that though.  Forget I said anything.)


They have some super cute new totes for you to take to farmers markets.  From sayings like "Totes!" to "Carry On" to my favorite "Totes Ma Goats" because it reminds me of my cousin, they have a bag to suit you.  My favorite is "Love Thy Farmer."


I instantly fell in love with these orb lanterns.  I would love these hanging all over my patio.  I want it to look like our wedding day when everyone was blowing bubbles at us.  That might look tacky...I'll try to control myself.


It's time to go down the street to Pottery Barn.  I walked in and what did I see?  These stunning Seaside Pillar Candles.  I want them.  Now.  Be right back...


I have seen this Melamine Rope Outdoor Dinnerware in person and I LOVE it.  You think it's ceramic until you pick it up and then can't believe it isn't.  That material sure has come a long way and yes, it's BPA free.


I love hemstitch linens like place mats and napkins so you can imagine I might've tinkled a little when I saw these Linen Sheet Sets at the PB.  I would love nothing more than to wrap myself in their silkiness but unless I hit the lottery, $200+ is a little out of the budget right now.  Dear Pottery Barn gods,  PLEASE put these on deep discount.  I want them desperately.


That's all I can stand right now because I feel like grabbing the credit card and the Mr is sensing danger.

What are you crushing on?

    Those are all really nice things. Maybe if you're a good girl you'll get some of them :-)

    You 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.

      I'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!

    I 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.

    Bottom 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.
