Suburban Safari - a list by hanahula

Options for This Page

About this list:

The big events (backyard barbecues, family picnics, block parties) and the small joys (star-gazing, catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows) of warmer weather are now within reach. Living in the suburbs need not be the dull affair some consider it to be . . . if you have the right attitude, good food and fun supplies.

Qualifications:

Former city slicker now living deep in the heart of suburbia

Gump's San Francisco: Side Table by Martha Sturdy

First to recommend

Description

These resin cubes have such a bright sheen that they almost seem to be illuminated from within, an effect achieved by sandblasting the stone base. Set upon casters, these tables will work well for entertaining, both indoors and out. In white or kiwi.

POOL Swimwear: Swimdress

First to recommend

Description

So you aren't a synchronized swimmer. Doesn't mean you cannot look ravishing in a suit, whether you are having cocktails at the poolside bar, lounging in the sun or taking a swim. This suit provides coverage without looking matronly and style without being too revealing. Definitely worth the investment ! (via The Oprah Magazine)

A gorgeous twist on traditional Adirondack furniture, this table and chair set provides a graceful and romantic setting for outdoor dining. I could even see it transitioning into the kitchen once the colder weather sets in.

Wisteria: Adirondack Fly Swatters

First to recommend

Description

I never considered fly swatters to be a collector's item, but, then again, I've never seen any as cute and decorative as these are. If you live in a buggy area, you might welcome having one or two of these at hand. (P.S. - Marjorie Post collected fly swatters.)
