Father's Day

Hi there, happy Wednesday!

Garden, Home and Party: Father's Day

My own father passed some time ago, but I’ve been blessed with a sweet husband that is a wonderful father to our two sons.  In addition, both sons are happily married and each a father to a little girl. It’s been fun buying for girls! 🙂

Father's Day

This will be short…I want to wish all of the dad’s out there a Happy Father’s Day.  It’s a noble, if not challenging at times, profession and I hope you have a wonderful day, filled with the love and attention you deserve.

Father's Day

♥What would the world be without great dads? In honor of the upcoming celebration of fathers, I’m posting images of what I consider to be masculine touches on a room or specific things that make me think of Hubby, one of the best dad’s I know!

Enjoy…

Isn’t this a great painting?  It must have been someone’s dad.

Some dads collect watches…you know who you are.

Ship and Anchor

Diamond Baratta Design

When I met hubby he drove this car, he had brought it to the states from Germany.  He wishes we’d kept it!

the Steward

I heard that manual typewriters are making a comeback, they have a young adult cult following.  They look great in this bookcase as a vintage decorator item.

Ship and Anchor

Master of the tailored look, expert on masculine detail and probably a pretty good dad by all accounts…a Ralph Lauren room

Ralph Lauren

Hubby wears glasses similar to these…so preppy!

Ship and Anchor

New Victorian Ruralist

I love this perpetual calendar.

Architectural Digest

Lonny Magazine

Ralph Lauren

Happy Father’s Day to all of you who have loved and nurtured a child, sent them on their way into adulthood with confidence and joy…we thank you!

I’ve headed over to the Open House at No Minimalist Here, join me, won’t you?

What Makes a Dad

Father's Day

God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle’s flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece was complete,

 

And so,

He called it…Dad

-Anonymous

I wish all fathers, young and old, a very Happy Father’s Day!  I am grateful for the wonderful father my Hubby proved to be and I know Son #1 (and one day, Son #2) will follow his lead.

Gift ideas for the man of the house

Father's Day

Father’s Day is this Sunday and I was thinking it would be fun to shop.  Where, you ask?…the World Wide Web, of course.

There’s something so masculine about a crest, isn’t there? (I apologize for becoming side tracked so early in my post)

Be advised, the following gift ideas are items that may tend more towards what I wish Hubby would ask for, as opposed to what he actually wants although there are a few things contained herein that I’m sure he’d like (even if they are out of our price range).

Unlike most women, I don’t think men remember to upgrade or replace their travel bag…isn’t there a formal name for these.  I call it a make-up bag but not in front of Hubby.

Hubby already has the pocket briefcase and the cards but he enjoys using them so much I thought it would be helpful to others to know what a great gift this is for the man who likes lists. {Source}

This little desk clock is totally out of my price range but if you can afford it for the man in your life I’d bet he’d think it was pretty cool…or is Cartier a woman’s passion?

If your man loves his Starbucks, so much that he spends $20 or more a week on those Grande Lattes, I highly recommend an espresso maker.  I know they are expensive but they sure make a great latte and amortized over 1 year they pay for themselves—if you’re a Starbuck’s / Peet’s latte frequent-drinker.

Okay, maybe Hermes is out of my price range as well as the Cartier clock, but this particular throw looks so soft and I just love the colors and it seems to be more masculine than some throws…is that justification enough?


On to more practical, and affordable items…these RayBan’s are a classic favorite.

 

 

There’s nothing like a gift with a history…William Penhaligon, founder of the English perfume house in 1860 was Court Barber and Perfumer to Queen Victoria…the Duke of Malborough {and my hubby} wore Blenneim Buoguet (the fragrance above).

Now I realize that Sperry red canvas shoes may seem like a lousy gift, but I happen to know Hubby would like a pair…shhh, don’t tell him I’ve gotten him a pair!
