Are You A Swinger?

OK, get your mind out of the gutter!

Growing up i would run onto my swing set and swing for hours on end all the while singing my heart out (poor neighbors) - My beloved friend Adri, actually grew up having a swing in her childhood bedroom! - All in all, to this day, i love to get myself up on a swing and just swing away (no swing gets away from me!) - it's totally soothing for me!

Here's how to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up world!



want to reconsider the questions now?

ARE YOU A SWINGER?

PS - i'm going to see Craig Ferguson tonight at our State Theatre !
*excited*

PSS - have a few new invite only sample sales:
 Luxury Hut
Cocosa
Fashion by Invitation
Lucky Chic
Ivory Trunk
Check out my left sidebar for more 'invite-only' on-line sample sales!

PSSS - remember how i gave the book recommendation the other day "When Things Fall Apart" by Pema Chodron?! - well over at my other blog, Tiptoe With Curiosity, i actually did a lil review back in February if you wanna get a glimmer of the book!

i don't really blog on Tiptoe With Curiosity anymore, for those who are wondering, 2 blogs became a lot - Curiosity was a place for me to let some of my personal poems i wrote, journal entries i written, my personal activities for friends to catch up on my life - i hope to maybe incorporate Curiosity into Butterfly in some fashion - or pick up where i left off with Curiosity .. unsure .. but feel free to FOLLOW if you like!

  1. Oh nice! I have always been a swinger since I was a kid. It's one of those things I guess I just never really grew out of. To have it inside the house would be just perfect! I love the 1st and 5th one. =)

  2. I love swings, but I actually get very ill swinging!! I can ride roller coasters all day, but the gentle back and forth of a swing makes me loose my cookies every time! I LOVE the chain on the swing in the yellow room. Very cute!

    XOXO

  8. Okay, my mind was definitely in the gutter with that one!

    I would say I'm a swinger too. I would love to give my son a swing in the house, like the one in the last picture, but you need a certain type of home, you know, and I don't have it :(

  9. I am definitely a swinger. I used to swing for hours when I was little. I think I might need to go find a swing set and give it another try. Sounds like fun and would give me time to clear my head!

  11. I love swings too!!! Despite the fact that I had a lil run in with one in my childhood. I used to jump off the swing while it was still in motion and one day my pinkie got caught in the chain. Ouch! It was not a pretty sight. Still have a scar to this day but I don't hold it against the swing :) xoxo

  22. One of my best friends growing up had a swing in the middle of her room, and every night her mom would come in to talk to her and swing a little.

    I was always a little jealous of that swing. Time to do something about that!

    Loved this post.
