Hot Diggity Dog!

I recently found out that the last Thursday of July each year is National Chili Dog Day. Seriously? They make a special day for that? And then I thought about it more, and I can definitely see why. Because chili dogs are awesome. And guess what today is?!? You guessed it! National Chili Dog Day! Chili dogs certainly bring out the kid in me. Thinking about this had me craving a cookout. I am a sucker for a good, fun cookout. Especially a cookout that includes these fun items:

And you know what the best recipe is for the perfect chili dog? I know it seems simple but all you need is a grilled hot dog, a fresh potato bun, some fresh, hot chili, a tad bit of mustard, and an ice cold glass of lemonade to wash it down! Yumm. Now time to plan a cookout for this weekend…

Hope you have a fun cookout planned this weekend too!

Come One, Come All!

Next week the circus is coming to my town. Now, I’m going to be 100% honest with you – I’ve never been to the circus. Ever. I’m not quite sure why. In all honesty, I don’t think I had any desire to go as a child – something about it scared me a little. Now, though, I am itching to get there. As an adult it seems much less scary and much more artistic and surreal. I love the colors, themes, and animals associated with the circus. In fact, I often use circus themes (or what I think of as circus themes, as I’ve never actually seen in person) as a source of inspiration for my designs. I took this opportunity to browse some of my favorite shops and create my own visually delicious circus. Enjoy! And feel free to share links to your circus-themed items! If I get enough links, I will do a Part II this week!
