A collection of fabulous rooms in fuchsia, red, and cream. Inspiration: the rad color scheme of London's Olympic gymnastics venue.

Happy weekend everyone! What's in store for you this weekend? I hope to do some serious junkin', watch a lot of Olympic action, and have some chill time with Mr. Cheese. Should I find any groovy vintage treasures this weekend, I'll be sure to give a full report next week.

The World's Largest Treehouse

Yesterday my friend Megan and I made a trip to the world's largest treehouse in Crossville, Tennessee. I had visited the treehouse with Mr. Cheese last summer, but I could return to this remarkable place a hundred times and still find something new to see.

The (awesome) grafitti collection continues to grow and grow. Names, quotes, and little drawings cover the interior walls of the treehouse, left by visitors from all over the country (I even saw a couple of passages in German). Those images will appear in a future post - it's a collection good enough to stand on it's own. A winter trip to the treehouse is definitely in order, as the trees mask the bulk of the structure.

Oh, and a word to the politicians out there: I could totally see one of you guys ripping off my flag/Jesus field image for a political ad. Don't.

Oh my...

A pretty place.

This Week's Road Trips

I'm taking 3 mini road trips this week. This morning I'm off to Nashville to see my brand new cousin. Tomorrow I'm headed up to Crossville for cheese, wine, hiking, and treehouse (more on that later), and will likely head up to the Cumberland Plateau again this weekend for the world's longest yard sale. Or perhaps we will break with tradition and take the Lookout Mountain, Alabama route of the sale this time. I'm hoping to come back with a few treasures and a belly full of fresh fried pies. I promise a full report.

Happy Weekend to You

via

Last week Mr. Cheese and I took the day off to hike and take a dip in this perfect swimming spot up on the Cumberland Plateau. The trek to the swimming hole was a bit too treacherous to risk taking the good camera (though with creek crossings and waterfall rewards along the way). So no pics this time. It was a dreamy day. The image above perfectly captures the pure childlike joy of the moment in my memory.

Go do something fun this weekend. Feel like a kid again!
