Everyday I read through hundreds of posts and I see some pretty amazing things. Things that make me laugh. Things that make me crave. Things that make me think the world is a better place. Things that just make me go “WTF?!?!”. So I thought I’d start sharing those things with you all in a little spot I like to call “Link Love”.
So here goes:
- From the style icon that is Design*Sponge comes Living In. It’s a series of collections based on movies. Every week I marvel at how they manage to put them together. I wouldn’t even know where to start! But this week I positively bounced in my seat. It’s Living In: Labyrinth. OMG!!! One of my all time favourite movies. If I was the kind of girl to *squee* I would have *squeed* all over the house. I’m totally crushing on the Iron Crown.
- “Practice Random Kindness & Senseless Acts of Beauty” Whenever I need a mood boost I just head on over to Kind Over Matter and I’m immediately in a better frame of mind. So imagine my joy and surprise to find out that this week is Random Acts of Kindness Week (15 – 21 February). I’m not sure how I’m going to mark the occasion, but I’m going to do it somehow, someway. So stay tuned.
- Sunday Sweets – Normally I head on over to Cake Wrecks to check out the devastating horror that is professional cake decorating at it’s worst. Oh, and to piss myself laughing. But I just couldn’t stop myself from going “awwwwww…” when I saw this post. As Dolly Parton said in Steel Magnolias, “… just too cha-cha for words!” (I’m not 100% sure what that means, but it seemed appropriate…) Of course I did also manage to get a laugh out of the rest of the weeks wrecks. Can anyone tell me what this isn’t supposed to be? (From this post.)
- I also found something this week that I found impressive, but too impressive to try at home… so far. This “I Love You” Cake from the blog of Confections of a (Closet) Master Baker. While I love the idea of writing messages in food I don’t think I would have the time, the patience or the equipment to make this masterpiece. Although, with that being said all I’d probably need was the liberal encouragements of Alivicwil and a few trips to Annie’s Cake Place and I’d be willing to attempt it.
- Apparently there’s a little thing called the Winter Olympics happening at the moment… if you, like me, are not into sport but love a good winter woolen than you need to check out “The Great Canadian Mitten Giveaway” happening over at Cafe Cartolina. Just a warning though, you’ll have to come up with some pretty obscure facts about Canada as I’ve already posted all the good ones!
