please hook me up!)

3. camera strap cuteness


something about red polka dots makes me feel all happy.

I love when you do your "favorite things" posts!! Those CHAIRS would look great in your kitchen and yes..RED, RED, RED!!!

So many beautiful things! I always tell you this, but I am going to say it again. I LOVE your sense of style from your clothes to the way you decorate your house.

I might need to consult with you..... I am feeling rather frumpy these days:(

Have a great week Paige~

I live in Texas and have seen these once in the PB outlet (chairs). Don't recall the price but I think they are super cute! Love me some RED also!

Urban Farmgirl said...

Oh my! I NEED a pair of red boots like Caroline has! How cute are those????

Also, about the chairs. I just did a post on how I was crushing on the Sundance catalog, and mentioned the chairs. I was left a few comments from people that found the chairs for a steal. Double check my comments, but I think they said Home Decorators had them for a steal!

Good luck!

Oh, what a yummy wish list of delightful things. I too must purchase a super cute camera strap so I can identify my camera in a sea of cameras that seem to lite on the tables of all my friends homes these days. I love the beautiful photos of Caroline in her red boots in front of the red barn. Just precious! And thank you so much for your ever thoughtful comments that you have left me on my blog. It makes my day to hear from such a lovely lady as you, Paige, and fuels my fire to continue on down the yellow-brick-365-day road. Happy day!

I was having a hard time getting going today...until I saw this happy post. Im not sure if it's the red or all the fitness that made me smile, but i'm loving it! Thank you, Paige!

I meant CUTENESS! Not fitness...ironic since exercise is the last thing I want to do. Confession: haven't exercised once this year.

Shannon said...

These favorites are great, I'm especially loving the Somewhere over the Rainbow and Come Read with me print!!!
Thanks for sharing your favs. :)

sheila said...

I bought similar stools like the chairs at overstock.com. for a cheaper price. You may want to try looking there.

Tammy said...

Hi Paige! I love it when you do a favorite things post! I ALWAYS find something new to swoon over!

those red chairs are too!
I grabbed your sweet new button and added it to my sidebar...I love it!
Have a great great day!
Tammy :-)

I love, love that camera strap and I think that necklace would look great on you. Those pictures of Caroline and the red boots/red barn are just adorable. The red really pops!

I love tolix chairs so much I want to marry them. :)
I've always wanted to do that cake garland thingy. Maybe for Natalie's 10th. Loving the cherry red this morning. feels like warmth and a summer day.

did you get the red hunters?
did you get my text?

Tiffany said...

delightful - what a fun post!!!

Katie said...

You are the second blogger today to mention pinterest... I must check this out!

my2twins said...

Love it all, but I have to tell you I went straight over to order a camera strap. Love all of them!
The pocket for the lens cap is perfect. I lost a cap as it rolled off the pier in Nantucket, so its just what I was looking for.

Emily said...

Check out Overstock.com for these chairs. Search tabouret. They have chairs and stools, silver, white and red. I also saw the stools (but not the chairs) the other day at my Meijer store. Enjoy! And love love love your blog!!

Lolo @ The Adventures of Stig and Lolo said...

Ok sweetie...if you are not stuck on the "Tolix" label, I have a find for you :) Overstock.com has knockoffs for insanely cheap (I have the metal barstools!) Your new favorite name will be "Tabouret"....
A set of 4 for $195....with only $2.95 shipping!! They come super fast too.

Here is the link:

Suz said...

I ABSOLUTELY love the red boots and the red barn. It makes me want to find a pair of red boot for my little girl and go find a barn. My 5 year old has pink cowboy boots that she wears everyday with her school uniform.
Love all the things you posted and as always love your blog.

Courtney Walsh said...

Ok. The blouse, the necklace, the pictures, the camera strap! You had me at "red."

:) Love these, Paige!!

Louise said...

If (when) you get those chairs, I think you should go with red. I remember reading that you really wanted a slipcover for your floral sofa, but decided to be more practical and go with fitted . .and you are sorry about that decision??

Go with the red chairs.

Should you ever change your mind about them being red, and find them horribly impractical (and I don't imagine you would ever feel that way, but who knows) they would be SO SO easy to spray paint another color!!

The cake banner would be easy to make. But the beauty of buying it if you can is that you are supporting the artistic endeavors of someone. It would look pretty as a plant pot or window box banner also.

Suzanne said...

Yes, Home Decorators does have the chairs! Here's the link:

http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Garden_Side_Chair/200/

$99 each instead of $195. AND! If you join their mailing list, they regularly have coupons. For instance, I got a $50 off of a $150 purchase coupon today.

Wendy said...

Hey sweet Paige! I am loving Tolix chairs too...planning on getting myself some metal ones with my tax return money! Oh yes! Home Decorators.com has them for $99 each. For real...but if you order the last four...I'm going to pout. ;-)

Jen Kershner said...

Love it all! I'm a red girl. Our buddy Shannan is very anti red but I am hoping she will come to her senses. One of those prints is for sure headed to my house sometime in the near future. Thanks for calling her amazing work to my attention.

Jen Kershner said...

P.S. The Over the Rainbow print...do you know if you can buy it somewhere?

Clare said...

love it all, the cake bunting is adorable!!

Andria said...

Overstock.com has a similar chair not in red but you could paint them. They have 4 white for like $169.00 and 4 silver for like 197.00 quite frequently.

You find the BEST stuff! Have you ever tried polyvore.com ? I bet you'd come up with some great looks.
