Shark Beach Flip Flops from Ikea

/

Okay, Ikea wouldn't be my first stop for beach wear. Yes for meatballs & kitschy print napkins, but until they showed me their 2012 Beach Collection I wasn't aware of their SHARK FLIP FLOPS.

Sharks on any item of clothing is an instant winner with The World of Kitsch. The £2.99 Ikea Family price tag isn't half bad either. Buy instore, or online- Shark Flip Flops

Big, bold beach bag & tiki flower towel also available from Ikea. Faux-taxidermy flamingo 'model's own' ;-)

Happy World UFO Day, With Extra Pancakes

/

Wise words from our artist, Mr. Lacey-

"If no one sees a ufo as it travels across an uninhabited landscape with a stack of pancakes on its head, would it still look delicious?
This painting states that what is real is what you personally know is there. No one sees the flying saucer from below; in fact the craft is almost indistinguishable from the sky. From our viewpoint however we are well aware of the hidden pancakes, which seem very substantial and also seems to power the speculative. But many would not believe our testimony, either."


I think I might just have to buy this one for myself.

Trip to Dublin Zoo with Ikea Picnic Goodies

/

Legendarily cool design brand Ikea sent us some summer fun goodies to try out, so we took a couple of pieces with us on a road trip to Dublin Zoo today.

I took the giant lips cushion for our son to nap on, but he ended up playing with them most of the journey.

You can find them online for just £7 here- cushions

I also picked out this club tropicana-esque cool bag for packing our picnic. Although it did the job here, it would really work best on a beach trip or holiday filled with cool cans and an Ikea ice pack.

It's only £5.99 for Ikea Family Members and it comes in a selection of shapes and colours.

I think the tiger liked my son's hat.
