Freaky Friday - Animal Kingdom

My sister requested an animal themed Freaky Friday this week,

and when the people speak, I must answer.

Giddy up.

Because one photo of a man and his chicken isn't enough...

Bless.

This is my ultimate nightmare! I'm petrified of angry, scary dogs!

The Sloth.

Do you have any requests for Freaky Friday?

Jumpsuits, Speedos....?

Drop me a line and I'll see what the internets and I can dig up.

Happy Friday!!

Hey! Homewrecker's Retro Home

Linda of Hey! Homewrecker is a Belfast based blogger, crafter and vintage lover.

A while back, Linda took part in a Link In where we shared a retro and vintage corner of our home.

I have found myself going time and time again back to view Linda's photographs from the link in, and have scoured her blog for more pics of her cool, vintage inspired home.

I love Linda's vintage print wall in the lounge room, the ultra cool movie poster wall,
and the orange colours in the kitchen which is currently undergoing a makeover.

You can check out more from Linda over at her blog Hey! Homewrecker HERE, Facebook HERE

and visit her Etsy store full of gorgeous handmade cushions made from vintage fabrics and retro trinkets and wares HERE!

Many thanks to Linda for allowing me to share her photograph of her home.
Kitchen shots were taken by Kat Mervyn Photography.

Now you can drool along with me!

Another angle of the print wall - love it.

Goonies Adventure by Jim Ed Hardaway

I have been following Jim Ed Hardaway on Instagram for several months now.

Through his Instagram feed, I saw that Jim was planning a trip to Astoria, Oregon in August 2013
to visit movie locations from the film The Goonies.

Jim lists The Goonies as one of his all time favourite films (along with the original STAR WARS troligy - he clearly has great taste in movies), and it's been on his Bucket List to head to Astoria, Oregon and visit the film locations from The Goonies.

Jim made a great short video of his trip, and shows you the locations as he visits them,

along with shots of the relevant scenes from the film as a comparison.
You can also read about Jim's trip to Astoria on his great site jimedhardaway.com HERE.

Such a cool thing to be able to lay eyes on actual places and spaces from a film you grew up with.
If you're a Goonie fan like me, I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Many thanks to Jim for allowing me to share his Goonies trip here. : )
