Well… not quite yet. But it’s supposed to and has looked and felt like the sky could open up at any given moment since yesterday afternoon. When it does wouldn’t it be grand to have one of these umbrellas with huge type? The answer is quite simply, yes. {via heysusy}

In my opinion there are just some things, albeit few, that cannot be improved upon. One is a good, classic bicycle design. After missing out on the limited edition run of Liberty of London for Target bikes sigh I’ve got my eye on these beauties from Velorbis. I wonder if I can talk them into providing this wardrobe along with the bike if I make a purchase? It never hurts to ask… {via Shiny Squirrel}

Posted In accessories, collaboration/project, downloads, easter, happy weekend, holidays, house and home, kitchen, outdoors, recipesAfter tons of rain yesterday including a flooded front yard today is gorgeous! I woke up at 6:30 to find the sun already peeking over the horizon, blue skies and birds chirping. Spring is literally sitting on the doorstep waiting to be invited in.
I’ve never been a big picnic person, but I’m hoping to change that once things dry up. In no small part thanks to this picnic set by Carina Ahlburg that I just can’t get enough of.
{Unknown}Have you been having an amazing first week of fall? I have. Here in Oklahoma we’re experiencing a lot of below average temperatures and I’m soaking up every moment! Not only did I break out the Halloween decorations (fine, that was last week), but some long sleeves, too. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy this week’s Mad Props!

Your yard would be the hottest feeder in town! Maybe you could even charge for reservations.
Eye catching wooden cutlery that’s sure to make any outdoor shindig that much better. I love the attention to detail on the necks!
I like the idea of giving the birds a little variety in their menu, as well as using up fruit that’s past it’s due date. This apple bird feeder is too cute. Just skewer an apple and you’re good to go!

Posted In grand design, outdoorsWarm sun on my face, cold beer in my hand, adorable cafe chairs in my back yard. Could it be true? Yes, if you add a few Sunny Arm Chairs that are a kicked-up version of the sidewalk classic the world over. I’ll take four in yellow. Thank you.
