Munchies

1 Munchies

A perfect evening…sitting in front of the television, watching a rerun of “I Love Lucy” and chomping down some snacks. I may or may not be blaming my attack of the munchies on the lovely foliage adorning my living room 😉

The Challenge has begun again, and you can get most of the goodies decorating this scene during this round of Vintage/Retro. The television from %Percent comes pre-loaded with several classic shows and includes not only poses, but snacks! Despite the pizza and Coke you can see pictured, I’m actually chowing down on a wholesome bowl of berries. Even better, it is discounted until August 7th, so hurry on over! Chic Aeon of Chic Buildings took a cheeky spin on retro with her “medicinal herbs” in a can and Kuro’s Luana Dawg brings out the inner hippie in us all with her beaded curtains. Finishing off The Challenge offerings is the rug from part of a set from [Fetch].

Of course, I will provide you with links to each store, but you can click on The Challenge link above to see all of the goodies in this round.

Now, has anybody seen my Milk Duds? I need chocolate!

Memories In The Attic

1 Army_018

A trip up to the attic to clear out the cobwebs turns into a visit down memory lane. She can hear the whispers of forgotten ancestors in the letters and mementos she finds. This is not junk to be discarded; this is a personal history of those who have passed.

This month’s theme for The Challenge is Army Style. There are a lot of items you can find to help create your own military theme. Or perhaps, create your own memories.

Just Missing The Scotch

22769 ~ [bauwerk] & &Percent

This month the theme for The Challenge is “From Your Country” and it has spawned some really fun new stuff! I am showing off a couple of different designers here and stay tuned for more.

Today I am highlighting the beer garden from 22769 ~ [bauwerk] and the bourbon barrel table set from %Percent. The beer garden, which represents Paco Pooley’s home of Germany comes complete and is loaded with details. From the weathered containers that form the service area to the benches and tables, the “PacoCola” drink cooler and menu it is perfect for setting up for a casual get together with friends. There is even a coffee maker for those who might have imbibed a bit much and need to sober up a bit before venturing home 😉

1 Bourbon Table Set &Percent

Plato Novo has brought a touch of her old Kentucky home from the United States in the form of the bourbon table set. She has created the stools and table from the parts of a bourbon barrel and even developed her own brands of bourbon as decorative and useful props! In addition to the bottles and drinks that decorate the table, you can receive a menu of drinks and props to enhance your experience. It is not just bourbon-inspired cocktails – you can also choose to have a cigar or cigarette to go along with your aperitif. Since I set this up in an outdoor venue, you are allowed 😉

The beer garden is sold as a complete set and you can purchase the bourbon table set or the stools separately. Each stool is different, so you can mix and match to your heart’s content.

All that is missing is the scotch, or we’d have a perfect setup for a George Thorogood classic!
