Outhouse for Rent
Outhouse for Rent by LilyPink Designs, available at Can You Digi It, serves as a reminder that life was simpler back in the day when outhouses were in vogue! Think about it, no stressing if the seat was up or down. No toilet bowl that required scrubbing! And there was no need to worry if the bath tissue you bought would suit the entire family since the Sears & Roebuck catalogue was all that was needed and like clockwork, one arrived in the mail each year! And then, indoor plumbing arrived ending the reign of the outhouse! And that is progress!
Outhouse for Rent also serves as inspiration for the new sunrise/sunset challenge that starts today at Can You Digi It and an opportunity for you to win a $10 gift certificate to the store. In case you are scratching your head as to how I manage to think sunrise/sunset from an image of an outhouse, well, outhouses or indoor plumbing, each are places to visit regardless if it's sunrise or sunset!
You are too funny! Love your design and that red coloring and shading is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSorry Tammy, I prefer indoor plumbing, but you've done wonders with this image. It does bring back memories of camping trips, back in the day when one could hold off using the facilities. (lol)

ReplyDeleteI like your logic on the challenge. I really like that image and you colored it so perfectly Tammy. What fun! So what happened when the catalog pages were gone.... LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile with Outhouse memories from when I was a wee girl. In Aus it was named the Dunny and I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteThe connection is definitely a Tammy one but you most certainly needed to visit sunrise, sunset and quite some other times in between!
Life most certainly was simple then!
Tammy, your colouring is fabulous as always! I love this!
