I remember apartment living, and one of the things I missed during that time was an outdoor grill. Many places wouldn’t allow you to have them at all, and if you happened to have a building that allowed it, it was no fun having a big chunk of your small patio/balcony occupied by a large, ugly grill. To this day, I still don’t like the sight of a traditional grill on my deck. That’s not a problem for me since we installed a wood-burning fire pit; I do all of my outdoor grilling on that now. However, if you don’t have a large yard and still want a grill, check out this cute little thing!

Flower Pot Mini Grill

Is that a genius idea or what?! Not only can you have a small grill that is perfect for a household of one or two people, but you can disguise it and grow some fresh herbs to use in your grilling!  The cooking area is about 11.5″, so you could buy a couple of these if you plan to entertain while grilling and decorate your patio with flowers and plants at the same time.

Grill Disguised as a Flower Pot

I’m thinking of buying one of these for those rainy days when I want to grill but can’t use the fire pit. It would fit perfectly on my upper veranda or back deck.  If you happen to live in an apartment, condo, or townhouse with limited outdoor space, this is definitely the grill for you.

You can purchase this grill at black + blum for $124. That’s not a bad price for a nice terracotta pot with such a great dual purpose!

I live in dresses and skirts in the Summer months.  I never wear shorts now that I’m of a certain age, but I still like ventilation on my legs during the hot, humid days in NC.  I slather on the SPF 35+ and blind the world with my pale skin.  I’m particularly in love with this dress from Shabby Apple’s new Set Sail collection:

Does it come with the sailing yacht?  I could also use one of those to go with my dream beach shack.  How funny would it look with one of these anchored near it?

And while I’m dreaming, I would also like a hot cabin boy to go with my super-cute dress and sailing yacht.  I’m now taking applications.  Looking like Hugh Jackman is a plus!

Hey, Hugh, if you want to apply, feel free.  I’m an awesome cook, and the Mister isn’t the jealous type.  Plus, I bribed him by telling him he could have his own Cabin Girl and/or Personal Massage Therapist.  So, it’s a win-win! Do you happen to know any massage therapists who look like Christina Hendricks? That’s his dream Cabin Girl.

I really can’t argue with that.  She’s gorgeous, and the Mister has a thing for busty redheads.  It works out. We probably wouldn’t be married if he were attracted to gazelle-like blondes! By the way, I love the dress she’s wearing in that photo.  Like most of us redheads, green is definitely her color.  I want that dress, too.

Hey, here’s a novel idea. If our life together were to be made into a movie, Hugh Jackman would play the Mister and Christina Hendricks would play me. Maybe I should start writing that script because it would be HOT!

How’s that for a blog post that’s all over the map? Dresses to sailing yachts to Hugh Jackman to Christina Hendricks – that’s some weird new mashup for the Google Search bots!
