Put a Bird on it

I thought maybe it was just me. Seeing birds. Everywhere. For the past six months or so, every time I’ve flipped through a magazine, read a blog post, or walked into a store I’ve been confronted with BIRDS! Don’t get me wrong, I love these little birds, especially the silhouettes, but really? The bird obsession we’re currently seeing here in the US seems to have gone to whole new levels lately!

The new show Portlandia has apparent picked up on this as well:

Catalog Living

I’ve told you before how I find much of my home inspiration from catalogs…Pottery Barn is one of my favorites…but have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in those catalog scenes?  Well, I stumbled across the site Catalog Living today and all I can say is HI-LAR-I-OUS.  Here’s one of my favorite scenes:

“Hi Nancy, it’s Elaine.  I’m going to be a little late for lunch.  I can’t find my hat or my back-up hat.”

Pretty funny, right? Here’s my other favorite:

“Greta, the invitation specifically said to bring a yellow or white food or drink.  Now, please remove your brown cookies at once.”

And one more…

Sweetheart, the Turners will be here any minute now!  Did you put the plate of figs under the table?

3-D Projections

So this really has nothing to do with baking, military life, decorating, organizing, or even pop culture…but I saw this video the other day and I just HAD to share it with you! There is a company that specializes in making projections on buildings that seem three dimensional…the result is pretty darn awesome.  Check it out:

Potato Salad

I saw this video today on Kath Eats and I was cracking up. This might as well have been a video of an evening at my house growing up, well for the first 55 seconds anyway…then it just gets darn right AWESOME! Seriously. Watch it.

All the sudden I’m craving potato salad…
