Laughter, Luggage Carts & Link Up On the Edge #93
I dedicate this post to my fabulously creative, wonderfully quirky, brilliantly artistic, and fantastically goofy friend, Anne M. Bray of Spy Girl. Anne, I hope you appreciate how completely odd I really am.
For those of you know me personally and probably many of you who know me virtually, you most likely already know that I can have fun just about anywhere at any time under nearly any circumstances. I could have fun in an empty room by myself…now don’t let your minds go all perverted with that idea…but well, you know, I will just leave that one alone. Moving on…
One of my main philosophies of life is this: If you can’t laugh at everything, anything, and nothing at all, you are pretty much losing at life. But if you always have laughter, you are kind of winning all the way through this roller coaster journey. Nobody gets out of here alive. Nobody ever has. Nobody ever will. So having fun during the short time we are given in this life is quite essential to basically everything. If I am breathing, I am laughing. If I am living, I am goofing off. I don’t take too many things very seriously except the really important ones that are essential to sustaining life. And even those things I don’t take all that seriously either. You can’t take me anywhere without me making some kind of ridiculous scene. But still people like to take me places. Go figure. I’ll never understand.
And so Aimee took me to Lake Placid. But to be accurate, I actually took her to Lake Placid for her birthday. But she agreed to go with me knowing the kind of weird shenanigans I tend to pull. So it’s her own fault if she got even the tiniest bit embarrassed. Although I suspect she wasn’t really very embarrassed at all because she was laughing too hard for the majority of the weekend. Upon arrival at the Crowne Plaza, I very quickly became fascinated by the luggage carts. A strange fascination, for sure. It’s not like I hadn’t seen or used a luggage cart before. But for some reason, thinking outside of the box as I often do, the luggage carts took a new purpose this time. And so an entire series of outfit photographs was born involving these miniature platforms on wheels.
I hope you have enjoyed this little bit of oddity from my weekend getaway! We did do many more fabulous things over the weekend, but the luggage cart photos definitely kept us supremely entertained. Possibly more entertainment than one would suspect such a mundane object could provide to two normally functioning adult women. But what does normal mean anyway? Luggage carts are fun! And laughter is essential.
The featured favorites from last week…
Bethany of Cute Capsule Life shared her post, Pink and Navy Casual Outfit | Outfit Idea Series. This color combination with leopard sunglasses seems to be a popular favorite for Spring since this post was the most clicked!
Lina of Sew historically shared her post, 1950s White Taffeta Dress. I must say that the 1950’s are one of my favorite eras for fashion, so I am totally swooning over this pretty dress!
Tiina of Elegance Revisited shared her post, Windswept. Looking absolutely stunning in this shade of pink, Tiina is airing her complaints with Mother Nature but still going with the flow as Tiina often does! Such a fun post!
Keeping it on the edge,
Shelbee

Oeps, I am to early!😂😂😂 Did you really take all those outfits and shoes for just one weekend? That alone makes me laugh!😂😂😂😂 I am glad to see that you had lots of fun!😘😘😘
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
OMG, Nancy, I totally did take all that with me! An entire suitcase just for my shoes! And I wore at least 2 outfits a day and 3 outfits on the second day. The life if a blogger is often quite ridiculous, isn’t it? Thanks so much for stopping by. I am glad I gave you a good laugh!

Love this Shelbee, I can see why you liked the luggage cart. It looks almost like a store’s display window! Your outfits for the weekend are all so creative and fun. I am all about humor and can generally find it in any situation. I feel like it makes life bearable in difficult times and more fun in general!
Hope you have a great weekend!

I don’t consider this odd at all, Shelbee. It’s a funny theme in a way, and I’m sure there could be some hilarious philosophicalness written about it!!!
And it’s good to have fun wherever you go, which is why you have so many friends!!
Have a great weekend!!

Definitely looks like you had a blast with your bestie over the weekend! And being a little crazy isn’t a bad thing at all, specially if it involves unstoppable laughter:) I’ve stood at the hotel before and it truly is a pretty scenery.

A girl after my own heart. Yes it is so important to laugh and have fun. Being able to enjoy the simple things is what a happy life is all about. I love these photos on the luggage carts and recently did something similar. In fact if you check my look book you will see me on a luggage cart wearing pigtails, though the photo is about three years old. I think I will never grow up. I hope your weekend is excellent. I really enjoyed this post! Cheers to good friends !

I wish I could adopt your attitude! I’m like your polar opposite: the Chicken Little who thinks the sky is going to fall any minute. Can’t we switch brains or something, for a while?
And thanks for featuring me, such a lovely surprise at the end of a very busy and stressful week.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Aw, Tiina, I would switch with you in a second then I would turn it around for you and hand you back a new and improved positive attitude! You are so sweet and have such a great sense of humor that I can hardly believe that you are much like Chicken Little anyway! It was pleasure to feature you. I am glad it gave you a little boost. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for the shoutout. This is right up my alley. Let’s meet on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls and continue the series! BOTH of you! June, 2019. Be there!
Heehee.

Yes, yes, yes! I will start planning now…procrastinator that I am, a year should give me enough time! It’s like a secret tryst in Canada…except we just made it very public…our trysting plans! I am glad you like my luggage cart series. And I look forward to continuing it with you by side to add some over the top creativity to it all!

I absolutely adore the outfit with those fuchsia boots (is that a dress?) AND that one with the blazer + white shirt + jeans + gold mules (gorgeous).
p/s so you must have been so restrained when we met because I don’t recall any goofiness GRIN
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Sheela, thanks so much! I am going to feature both of those outfits in more detail on the blog soon! The pink one is a long kimono. And if you recall when I met you, I had just come from a coffee date with a dear old friend that may have left my head and heart a little disrupted! Oops. Plus travel into the city always stresses me out! Next time, I will let all of my wild out. I am pretty sure you can handle it! Ha.

Wow I’m fascinated by the amount of outfits you had packed with you!! That’s awesome! It sure is fun thinking and doing things outside the box. These carts are great, I’D love to hang in one of them and just get pulled to the car while I’m on it…lol

Rania, thanks so much! We did see a lady getting pulled through lobby on a cart by her friend. And they were laughing hysterically! Then I asked for their cart for a photo shoot…because you know, grown women will act like children no matter how old we are! Have a fabulous week, my friend.

Emma, I am an incurable over packer! The few times I have tried to be a minimalist in packing, I have regretted my decision. And if I am driving somewhere and my space is unlimited (as opposed to flying), I am just going to take everything! It makes me happy to have lots of choices. And I actually did wear every pair of the shoes except two. Now I am excited to see what kind of fun props you find on your next trip! Thanks for stopping by and have an amazing week.

Luggage carts such as this one have a certain elegance in their design and this one is quite attractive and evocative of bygone eras. Why not give this suitcase sled a twirl or two on the dance floor!!?? I like your attitude and spirit. Laughter is like sugar… never enough!
