The beauty of being a blogger is that I have a platform to share whatever noteworthy topic that pops into my head. Sometimes, the crazy stories I come across on the inter-web or the random thoughts that pop into my mind aren’t really noteworthy at all {on their own}. They usually make me pause, laugh, or just plain roll my eyes and I go on about my day.
A Concrete Island Just for You
If you’re in the market for a new home and you’re up for trying something unusual and thinking outside the box house, this offer is for you! For less than the price of a new car, you can snag yourself your very own lighthouse. The US government is auctioning six out-of-commission lighthouses, with an asking price of around $15,000 each. Five of the lighthouses are on lakes in Michigan and one is on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. So if you think that sounds as awesome as I do, what are you waiting for? Go buy yourself a lighthouse so I can come visit you!
Last month, on the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death, the Bank of England unveiled a new 10-pound note featuring the author, which will start circulating in September. For all you Jane Austin lovers out there {me included!}, this will be such a fun thing to get your hands on! It’s also pretty cool because she’s the only female aside from the queen to be featured on an English banknote. I think that is so cool, especially since she did it with no political affiliation!
I’m Going Cross-eyed Just Watching This
Have you ever seen someone make lace the old traditional way. Holy cow these ladies are talented! All you need is a pattern made of pinholes and thread wound onto wooden bobbins and a whole bunch of pins! Oh and a lot of time and patience! This is so amazing! I can’t stop watching it. Look at how fast her fingers go!
Mavis Might Become a Camper
I don’t love camping. Like at all. But nothing would convince me to start more than this King Camp Standing Sleeping Bag. Can you just image a whole group of friends walking around a campsite sporting these? So awesome.
And that concludes this installment of Random Goodness from Around the Web. Please make sure to leave your random responses in the comment section.
