The Retro Room
I was also leaning toward the Red Rover Room, and the Royal Suite. But retro seemed to fit it the best and considering I keep putting old-timey things in it (aka stuff from my childhood, haha), retro it is. Thank you to everyone who made suggestions - I loved all of them. Oh - Paco is sorely disappointed that he didn't make the cut but hey, he has a blog named after him so he's still a star.

I had to go to the post office earlier this week to mail a package and as usual, the clerk asked me if I needed any stamps. I said no, completed my purchase and started to leave, and that's when I saw Sesame Street stamps! I turned around and bought a sheet:
Bert! Ernie! Cookie Monster! Not only are you looking at my childhood but my kadults childhood as well.
I have a feeling these will go the way of my beloved Harry Potter stamps, where I use them with great discretion, such as only on birthday cards. OOH - maybe I should frame these and hang them in the Retro Room! The theme is working already.

I planted my new succulents and am crossing my fingers that everything survives:
Donkey tail - my first one. It's replacing a succulent that died in that pot...stay alive, little donkey tail...stay alive!
The on the left is new; it has pink edges which always lures me in. The one on the right was getting leggy so I chopped it off and pushed it into the pot. I like lower sitting succulents, anyway.
Again, the one on the left is new - it's fuzzy which creeps me out as much as it fascinates me.
Newbie is on the left - it's totally tubular, man. #surfervoice
Ruffled pink edge? Yes please!

Have a great weekend!
Well, you know 'I' like that name ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for the donkey tail - what an interesting plant!
That hairy one that looks like its planted in a miniature watering pot is interesting!
ReplyDeleteI hope your succulents do well too!
ReplyDeleteI love the fun stamps they come out with at the post office, and especially love all the color in the Sesame Street ones. Did you see the National Parks ones a few years ago? Those were gorgeous!
We used the National Parks stamps on a bridal shower years ago - it was fun choosing park-specific stamps for some of the guests!
DeleteShhhh... don't tell the donkey succulent that the previous tenant died!
ReplyDeleteLove your succulents! I have been wanting to get some but just haven't yet. I have a black thumb and am afraid that I will kill even them!
ReplyDeleteAww, I am sorry I missed the voting on the room name! Retro room seems to fit you nicely and I totally think you should frame a sheet of those stamps for in your room!
ReplyDeleteLove the new name!!
