I'm sure you have a pile of images you collect over time. You like them, or you make a mental note to use them in a future post you have in mind. Or sometimes the image itself generates an idea for writing something.
Once or twice a year, I clean off the desk top, and get rid of the images I haven't used.
Since my blog is now under threat of being deleted by those who don't care for my big mouth, or mean girl antics, I felt rather in a hurry to use these images.
What makes you choose an image? I think I chose the giant cup cake to use in a what's out post, but gee I really like cupcakes, big or small, so there the image sat on my desk.
I chose this one to send to Erin at House of Turquoise, or maybe to use for a post for another blog I write at work.
I liked this sultry chic chick for a possible Fourth of July post.
I collect open shelving in funky kitchen images to validate my own funky bordello kitchen. It makes me feel better when I see a glossy magazine shot that kind of looks like my crappy kitchen. At least in my minds eye ha ha.
Here's another kitchen image. I have a trash can like this.
And I love and prefer old fashion bathrooms instead of the huge (and IMO ha ha) ugly spa bathrooms that are routinely placed in new home construction, or used in a renovation of an old house.
This is Melissa's pug. She sent me this photo. I know she has a blog, but I can't remember it right now. I am an old woman with no memory. But I will find it later, and give her proper linkage.
This is from Martha Stewart's blog The Daily Wag. For some reason I love this blog the best of anything Martha does.
This is what some of you would like to do - send my blog packing.
I love this closet, so I kept this image on my desk for months.
I meant to send this to Fifi Flowers, but forgot. I'm sure she already has it, being the great Paris-ophile that she is.
Christmas clippings got out of hand! I have a pile of card display images that I never posted. They were generated when Alberto asked me to display the Christmas cards we got. Christmas cards by snail mail are getting rarer and rarer, and we wanted to savor looking at them. This was my favorite display. Maybe I'll use the two dozen other images I clipped for next year.
Here's another one for Erin of House of Turquoise, or maybe for another rehash about the color trend for 2010 - turquoise! Or maybe for the shop - we sell alot of pretty glass like this.
This one I stole from Jenny at My Favorite and My Best, because I like artful bugs as decor. I really like many forms of specimen charts and art. Musty be the creepy crawly side of me.
I love the gray color wash on the walls, and this witty Mora clock is from Ikea for around $100., and for some reason that makes me laugh when you think of all the expensive Mora clocks all the nice (and rich) girls are using in their decorating projects. The red bed is right up my bordello alley too.
Here's another one for Erin. Don't think I'm stalking her. How can you not save an image for a person who blogs about this one particular color?
A Murphy bed for dogs! I think I was going to do a pet gift roundup, but was boring myself to tears with the thought of another gift guide. Plus the image is so old that the site link to buy it doesn't have it in stock any longer.
Another beautiful funky kitchen! Man I must be very insecure about my kitchen to keep pulling images like this!
You want to know where I got these? Well if I can remember...
apartment 34 (who gets them from everywhere else)
Jenny MFAMB
Melissa via e-mail
and Google Images.
If you see something I used that you need credit for, you know where I live.
