Crewcuts Window Display :: Lemonade Stand

I don't know about anyone else, but it's been so hot out I have probably had lemonade or limeade every day for two weeks now.  I haven't even had the energy to giggle at the prices in the Crewcuts catalog, but I did find the stamina to get this photo of this adorable Crewcuts window display.

It's really cute and really simple with the pennant and the raw wood stand.

J Crew Window Display :: Summer Yard Objects

I took my own life into my hands to get to this window display. Apparently Manhattan high schools graduate at Radio City and the event let out the same moment I was trying to get by. They were covering the whole side walk on both sides of the road and blocking traffic, so of course I had to walk on the busy road to get past them. There was honking involved but no one got one of those promised "honking fines".  Too bad, I've always wondered if they actually give those tickets out.

I thought the backdrop to the display was interesting with the summer lawn toys {and foods} as a color blocked back drop to the clothing displays.

Also, in the summertime I have that many fans blowing on me to keep cool because I have no air conditioning.  So in a way, this display reminds me of home.

Maranga Suspension Lamp

I have written about Marset lighting before back in 2009 and 2011.  This year I really loved the Maranga suspension lamp.  It's super spacey and very well made and I keep thinking I need to find a use for one of their lamps somewhere.

What do you think?  Love it or think it's too modern for your taste?
