On My Mind || Things for the Home

May 22, 2014



My daughter adores to ride her bicycle. I think its the sense of freedom and independence that makes it so appealing.  This coupled with the fact that the weather is exactly perfect right now, meaning no mosquitoes and perfect temperatures, means I need to buy a bike stat so I can go on adventures with her.  You can imagine how thrilled I was to find such pretty bikes for $300.  Plus delivery is free.  What do you think? Would you risk it and buy a bike online you have never seen?  Hmmmm....

The croquet set is ideal as a hostess gift for a long weekend stay or even for father's day.  it looks way more expensive than $55. You would be the most elegant guest to bring such a sophisticated gift.  It is not how expensive a gift is but how thoughtful it is.  This is a winner.  This painting is so pretty.  And for those of you who liked my black and brass piece from the ORC I found this credenza that is slightly reminiscent of mine and has a pretty nice price too. You all know I love my pinks.  The stemless flutes are so cute and great at $45 for 6.  Aaaahhhh malachite!!  I think anything you eat on these plates would just taste divine.  And last but not least who has space for this fab jaguar mural??  

Happy Thursday! You almost made it to the long weekend.  I hope to post the recipe of the yummy fruit tart I made last weekend so you have a recipe to try if you are hosting this weekend. xx

    Yes! Go for it! Most good bikes cost that much! Those stemless champagne flutes are always on my wish list!

    Can't believe it's thursday! Looking forward to the long holiday weekend. I'm not sure i could buy a bike without riding it first...what if the seat is uncomfy?? I'd also go with a "girls bike" that bar across the top looks cool but I always snag my leg on it when I'm trying to get on or off. I'm not as cool as I once was ;) But that blue and orange one on OLK is adorbs.

    I think it's fine to order a bike online! I'm sure it will be just right once it gets there :) One of our favorite things in the summer is going on long bike rides! I really like that painting too, great colors!

    I love the fishing jaguar mural! What a great resource, as I just went over to the website. I'm pulling out my measuring tape right now.....
    Great picks! Have a great weekend.

    Great finds! Love the croquet set as a hostess gift and that painting is so pretty! Your credenza is way better and I actually bought those champagne flutes for a bubbly drinking friend's birthday (they are adorable in person). Finally, I would die for those malachite plates...gorgeous!

    I need to hunt down a great bike as well as we will be doing a lot of that this summer I think.

    I say go for it- buy a bike online. I've purchased through Amazon and used the reviews as a guide to stay away from anything that might be pretty, but uncomfortable to ride for example. The only downside from buying online is that you usually have to assemble it yourself. Thanks for the tip on the croquet set! It will make a perfect Father's Day gift!

    Fun things. I want a new bike, too, no speeds, just fat tires and a cute basket. That one is so cute. Have a wonderful weekend. xo Nancy
