Outstanding in the Field

I love this site Outstanding in the Field.  You have to check it out!  They go all over the country
in their great bus and set up dinner on farms and actually out in the field.  The food is all grown
from the area.  Their mission, as stated on their website, is to re-connect diners to the land and the
origins of their food, and to honor the local farmers and food artisans who cultivate it. 
Outstanding in the Field is a roving culinary adventure – literally a restaurant without walls. 
The dinner set ups are breathtaking!  There are calendars on their site to see if they are coming
 to a farm near you!

Retro Camping!

I have fallen in love with these cute teardrop campers!  They just scream SUMMER!
They are light weight and sleep 2 comfortably and more if you all squeeze in tight!  The kitchen is actually on the back in a lift up door.  These cute campers have been around since the 1940's.  There are even many kits available to build one in your garage.  I  have visions that you could put one in the backyard with the back door opened up for an outside kitchen at parties!
It would be convenient and so vintage!  These are so light that you can pull them with any car with a hitch, even a mini cooper!  Time to hit the open road!

Bunting, Bunting Everywhere!

Plumo

Everywhere you look these days you see bunting, banners, streamers, etc.  I really like the look and you can get so creative with different fabrics and colors!  You can use paper or any left over fabric you have on hand to make one! 

Strung Bunting with paper from Activity Village:

Great to get the kids involved, too!
Use the bunting template( click below) to cut shapes out of different-coloured paper. On the wrong side of the paper, paint the rectangular shape at the top of the triangle with white glue (PVA), then either fold directly over a length of string or (our preferred method), roll the paper around a length of plastic drinking straw. The straw adds stability to the flag and then allows even the youngest children to thread the flags onto string.

You could just as easily sew a bunting with fabric and stitch the triangles to a cord or strip of fabric.

Here is our take on Bunting with a Welcome Baby Invitation from our shop!

The Junk Gypsy Company

Good Day to all!  Today I have to highlight one of my favorite companies!  The Junk Gypsy Company!  If you have never been to their website you must check them out!  They are a retail company that follows their dreams and sells extremely cool apparel and jewelry.  It is a mix of cowgirl meets gypsy! 
Their t-shirts have sayings that are a tribute to the wonderer and feisty soul in us all!  They even have a Junk Gypsy Prom every year in Warrenton, Texas!  You can't have much more fun than that! Now you will never meet an old soul who likes flea markets and junk finding more than me!  You know what they say, "One man's, oops (woman's) junk is another woman's treasure!  But I think I have found some soul sisters with these girls!!  Be sure to stop by their site!
