things I didn't know I needed...


Hello?  OMG!  This is the coolest gadget I have bought in a long long time.  It's called the Pop phone. It is so comfortable and I can actually hear much better (I seriously can't wait to use this in public.  I am not kidding...people will either laugh or want to buy one)!  I will be honest...I hate head sets...they drive me mad.  So when I saw this today...I had to buy it...I just had to.  Plus it's pink.  And I love pink.  Really...anything cute and pink...I am a sucker for it!  So yes, this is one of those items I didn't know I needed until I saw it.  And I knew I needed it when I saw it.  This has happened to you too, yes?

OK...moving along...


This refurbished bench. 
Oh my.

And it was such a bargain
How could I not bring it home?

It whispered to me as I walked by...it said:
"Hey Caroline, I make a really cool spot to shoot flowers and cups on, I am more than just a bench.  Really, I have so much potential...you must take me.  Plus I am really effing bored here."

Can't disagree there...





OK...do tell...what have you bought that you didn't know you needed until you saw it?  
Curious minds wanna know!!!

In love with that bench. And your dreamy photography.

OMG that is AWESOME! And even more so b/c it is pink! I'm so glad you said that about hearing on your cell phone. I swear I can only hear anything at all if I hold it up to my right ear just so. I thought it was just me.

And...I haven't brought it home yet b/c it wouldn't fit in my car, but I bought a big-ass sideboard for my LR that I didn't know I needed til I saw it. I am a bad, bad girl. ;)

That phone is a hoot! I can't wait to hear what reactions you get. And I need to start listening to my inner voices for things I don't realize I absolutely need. This is too fun!

that bench is darling, so glad it found a good home. I find something I didn't know I needed everytime I walk into a vintage store. Every. Stinkin. Time.

I purchased some new hair product with coconut oil in it, only because it was on sale, and I looooove it. Who knew!?!? I would totally give you a high five if I saw you at starbucks talking on that thing.

Every time I shop in Anthropologie I find beautiful things that I MUST have but don't need. ;)

I follow your blog faithfully and am so much in awe of your ability to take ordinary things and see them and capture then in an extraordinary way. Thanks for your generosity in sharing and for keeping it so real.

Caroline I love the photos and the bench. I bought an elegant old phone, gold and cream with a dial, it still worked...the first time I phoned somewhere and it said press one for such and such...I threw it out. I should have kept it because it looked really cool, but if you can't use it it became junk to me. lol.

What a wonderful little bench Caroline.
I am definitely off to check out that phone.
It is AMAZING!!!
Hope you are having a great weekend.

not sure what I have bought lately other than food and a book. That bench is perfect! Love it. The pink phone is so much fun too. I would much rather have that then a head phone too.
