// First of all, I'm in love with Gingiber's website design/setup. But also these prints: brown sheep and her entire 52 Weeks Of Dogs project! She even makes wall decals, too!
// If you want to see a cute lil' kitten rescued and documented from bottle-fed to one year later, you'll love Carrie Anne's latest blog post: Happy Squirrelly Day!
// (5 minute) Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake-In-A-Mug Recipe! The perfect single serving snack to hit the spot.
// Emerging Thoughts just got in a new line of pretty things: Family Affairs! Swoon-worthy! I'm also dying over the new floral crowns!
// Wishlist Wears: these wedges are the perfect summer staple // $19 cheetah print flats! // lavender lace dress! // floral Madewell flats // F21 watercolor cardigan // stila color balm lipstick (in dusty merlot!) // this dress reminds me of 101 Dalmations! // these hot pink sandals!
// Deborah shares her desire to make realistic goals each week. Love her mindset!
// An Open Letter To Weddings Unveiled Magazine. I remember seeing this when it was first posted, but I never saw the magazine's response. It makes me even more angry!
// Karen shares her "Chosen Alternative To Google Reader" and I'm right there with her. I love this platform.
// I thought this "WonderPlanet" article was sort of hilarious, even if it is a spoof on mommy-blogging.
// I've been loving all of the new blogs I've found lately! I've made it more of a priority to click through to each commenter lately and read their blogs (then rabbithole down whatever friends/sponsors they have linked in the sidebar).

Whoa, those paintings are absolutely jaw-dropping... totally thought that was a photo at first. And the dog & cat at the window, sooo sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love your link round-ups!
ReplyDeleteThe one of the cat and dog in love had me smiling so much! :)

I've read loads of articles on Saira before and it's so heartbreaking that that horrible attack happened to her :( there are some truly horrible people in this world who do a lot of shitty things when they don't get their own way!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the story of the dog in love with the kitty I re-read it over and over because it's SO damn cute!!!
Oh the dog/cat love thing is just ridiculously precious! I love cute little things like that. Thanks for always brightening my Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThat cat and dog love story actually made me get all weepy. : )
ReplyDeleteoh man, that animal love story... adorable.
ReplyDeletei know you've been there before, but i'd love you to follow along too :)

Those resin animals are so cool! And I'm glad everything worked out for the dog and his true love:)
ReplyDeleteTHE DETERMINED CAT. The accompanying letter. Don't tangle with that little guy, he IS staying in that health center! I wonder what the story is there.
ReplyDeleteHaha I have no tattoos but those questions remind me of all the ones I get about my piercings. "Are they real?" "No, I wear fake jewellery all day every day" "Did it hurt?" "Well, considering it involves a needle being shoved clean through my flesh, what do you think?"

I've followed a lot of acid throwing violence for maybe 4 or 5 years and it is great that there are many organizations to help women in a lot of nations like India, Egypt, and Islamic countries that deal with a lot of acid burns and help them build their own businesses since so many are cast off by society and it is terrible!!! Thanks for sharing this photo of Saira!!!

This TILT is so good, that green carpet is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHave the best day ever,

That dog and cat love story is so sweet, I can't even!! I'm so glad that the neighbour did move the plants, even if only for a little laugh. I feel like if I tried something similar with my neighbour I'd be told off :/.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to these posts, Kaelah.

That letter to the cat owner is far too cute. And, I love that they wrote a little note back. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteI also really like the confession rooms. It would be so interesting to read all of those little notes.

This is an awesome list. I especially love the dog + cat in the windows, so cute, haha

OMG I LOVE THIS TILT I think it's my favorite. that WonderPlanet article made me cry!

I love the dog being in love with the neighbor cat, and the cat owner's response! Too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteThe ladybugs actually freak me out because my parent's house up in Ohio used to get infested with them in the summer and it was just icky.

Oh, please do make a post with blog recs! I want/need more blogs to read!
ReplyDeletewww.withoutastyle.com
I cannot believe that little octopus/squid thing is a painting? wow! I love that cat/dog love affair and also the secret confessions.
ReplyDeleteI don't do a lot of talking in mine, just photos of of my life in lovely Portland!

I don't always comment, but you're the one blog I have stuck with for years. You're wonderful :)
I totally forgot it was Thursday, so I was pumped to see this post!! These are my favourite types of posts... haha. I always open so many new tabs after reading it!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo... wow.
LOVE the dog in love. So sweet!

Great pictures and links as usual! The top one is scary and powerful and I wish such violence didn't exist in our world.

Sincerely, Sara
Haha- how sweet is that cat/dog window romance?! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute post! I love how you mix up your, "Things I Love" posts with pictures and links. :) That picture of the notice and the cat killed me (in a good way, haha). And that link about the tattoos cracked me up - I only have one and it's on my hip, but I still hear that stuff a lot anyway! "Don't you want to get a job?" "Well, yes, I have two which I got just fine, and it's not like I'm pulling down my pants at interviews to get approval. SORRY." I've always maintained (because I want so many more tats) that it's my personality and my taste. I don't want to work somewhere where they don't understand me or don't "approve." I know the job market sucks, but I have some dignity, haha.

That is the sweetest love story I have ever heard, I can hardly believe it. But I can't help but wonder what would happen if they ever came face to face?
ReplyDeleteCheers,

I love anything that's coconut lime verbena! It's the perfect summer scent. That domestic violence photo is incredibly powerful. I also love that determined cat, and the note from the dog owner! You will look super bad ass when you're 80, like those other tattooed people!

Et tu, tutu?
Yes! The Colbert and Clinton bit was hilarious. I've switched to Feedly and I'm loving it. I think I might like it even more that Google Reader! Happy Friday!

that bear! that packaging! that note from the neighbor! and the carpet! geeze kaelah, this post is really perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing the link to the Pakistani women- it was so heart-breaking and disgusting. I teach tenth grade English and in class this week, we've been talking about the Dove Real Beauty videos, so this was a perfect companion piece for the discussion today.

I never see Ladybirds any more! They're wonderful creatures. x
ReplyDeleteI've heard the story about Saira, sad how disgusting some people can be.How pretty does that ladybird picture look. It's one of them perfect ones that would look so nice hung up at home. I love the 16 things with tattoos, the bad-ass grandma is just amazing. Lovely links

Hi.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for being so real love. Really, thank you:) You're a gem amongst millions.
Why did the magazine's response make you even more angry? Didn't they do the right thing?
