Be forewarned! The penguin invasion has begun. Prepare to bow before the beady-bird-eyed stare as the tuxedoed masses enter your home too!
They begin in such innocence; you should be careful! Take this little guy...
He recruited Zach's help to enter my house. (Zach saw him as these candies were being handed out at the hospital, and knew I'd love him - what a sweety!)
But the little guys are just preludes for the big ones! Check it out:
This is the bathmat I wanted from my registry!!!
Amy, my good friend from work, has a similar sense of humor and decorating sense as myself. She and her boyfriend saw this on my wedding registry and couldn't pass it up. And it matches my bathroom too, believe it or not! The bathroom is done is shades of blue and white, mostly pretty subdued, but I did need a bathmat. Can't stand cold tile on my toes in the morning (yeah, I know - I'm fussy). When we were registering, Zach and I saw this, and he graciously let me put it on our list - wouldn't let me get the penguin sheets though [pout]. Still, when Amy and Matt saw this on the registry, they knew they had to get it for me!
Personally, a home needs those quirky little touches, family pictures, etc. Those homes in Southern Living and Better Homes & Gardens and such things really don't seem REAL to me, y'know? Too put together, no personality shown. I guess it's supposed to be like when you're selling your house, and you're supposed to present it in a way that people can see their own things in the rooms, but it still strikes me as unnatural. A room needs those touches of personality, creativity, tackiness - whatever you want to call it. So bring on the penguins!! :)
