Sunday Selections # 263
Welcome back to Sunday
Selections!
This once-a- week-meme
was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, as a way to showcase some of
the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs.
The rules are very
simple:-
1. post photos of your
choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title
2. link back to me,
River, somewhere in your post
3. leave me a comment so
that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted.
4. hop on over to
Elephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos.
Andrew often joins in too.
A newer participant is Snoskred.
I usually go with a
theme for my Sunday Selections and this week I have photos of a garden I visited last weekend for a party I attended.
There aren't many photos, as most of the ones I took had people in them; I can't show those without getting permission and I don't know many of the people I saw there.
You can view these online at www.theouthouse.com.au
email address is theouthouseportablebathrooms@gmail.com
They are South Australian manufactured and owned. We're a great state! :)
All the food was mini sized so people didn't get too full from any one thing, thus enabling us to sample everything.

No pastry would be safe from me!
ReplyDeleteMy very favorite art fairs featured upscale loo's. You have not idea how wonderful it is to wash your hands with real soap and water after a pee.
That is a very upscale loo - and I love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd am glad that the treats are on screen and not within reach.
Having small food is the best way to eat at a party. The loo is impressive and the garden nicely imperfect. You may not party often, but when you do, you choose very nice parties.
ReplyDeleteFinger food can be so very tasty and versatile as it appears to have been from your photos from the party. It's great to have a variety of savoury and sweet to choose from...suiting all tastes and appetites.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas are always so lovely; they make a wonderful display.
Have yourself a great week ahead, River...cuddles to Angel. :)
Joanne; isn't that the best thing! Real soap and water and a proper towel. one party goer was heard to say she wants to take The Outhouse home and keep it!
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; the loo was lovely, imagine having one outside permanently so garden dirt wouldn't get tracked inside.
Andrew; I've always thought party food should be small sized, because at parties people seem to just keep eating/nibbling. Small sizes mean less calories and less indigestion later. The garden is a work-in-progress, even though it is already improved about 300% from when these people first moved in there.
Lee; finger foods are easier to eat too, in a garden setting. No knives and forks to worry about :)
I love hydrangeas, I grew a whole row of them when I lived near Sydney.
I love the outhouse, that looks gorgeous! ;)
ReplyDeleteI really, completely enjoyed your lovely water and beach scenes for this week!
DeleteSnoskred; it does and you can see other options by visiting the website.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely images of the party you attended, River.
ReplyDeleteThat upmarket porta-loo is pretty amazing!
Compared to those I've been in at events and markets.
Love those wee eclairs... I wouldn't have stopped at two, and would be prepared to risk a wrist slap, lol.
I had to look up chicken shaslicks, of course, and found they most closely resemble the kebabs and satays which are popular here... occasionally the kidling and Great Scot prevail upon me to make satay on the grill in summer. The fruit tarts remind me of those which were served in a popular vegetarian eatery, the Zen Den, a couple of decades ago. They've since closed and are missed terribly!
ReplyDeleteThe 'loo looks luxurious but nothing at all like the outhouses I recall from childhood, thank goodness!
It's a beautiful setting for a lovely party; so glad you enjoyed yourself. =)
... hello River..
ReplyDeletewow... the party food looks so delicious... I love nibble food..
The garden is lovely... I really like the old trees.. fancy an apple tree with 2 kinds of apples.. wonderful...
Have a great day.... hugs... Barb xxx
Vicki; I had to stop at two, I was already pretty stuffed from bread and cheese, chicken shaslicks and mini burgers (*~*)
ReplyDeleteEverybody there loved The Outhouse!
The Cranky; we call them kebabs too, but there's another kind of kebab and I didn't want to confuse people. I used to make those fruit tarts myself years ago, I really should make some again one day.
Barbara; Finger foods are the best for parties, I've found.
I had plans to get multi-grafted trees when I lived in my previous home, but circumstances were against me and that dream is gone now.
That loo is excellent...certainly a great State is SA.
ReplyDeleteI do so like the hydrangeas.
Margaret-whiteangel; hydrangeas are one of my favourites too. The family that thought up those fancy porta-loos had a brilliant idea; now have a nice little business.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful park. And that porta loo is almost nicer than our regular bathroom at home... Maybe this is the option I take to get a second toilet in the house??
ReplyDeleteThat does NOT look like a porta-potty. It's nicer than my bathroom at home!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, it's like a breath of fresh air and tasty treats stopping by here today. I'm enjoying the idea of no winter in every photo! Enjoy your day!
