We had a great time at Park(ing) Day on Friday, and kept comfortable, thanks to the fact that Ikea provided all the furniture and accessories for my Park(ing) Day Park! I found some adorable indoor and outdoor furniture and cute accessories for my temporary park.
Not only did Ikea sponsor CasaSugar's Park(ing) Day park, it's also giving away a $1,000 Ikea gift certificate for one lucky CasaSugar reader to use in-store or online!

Last week, I told you all about my plans for Park(ing) Day. Now an international event, Park(ing) Day turns parking spots in urban areas into temporary parks, as a way to highlight the need for green spaces in cities, as well as to show how much physical room cars take up.
My Sugar friends and I had a great time at Park(ing) Day!

As you may know, on Friday I participated in Park(ing) Day and created my very own park (complete with sod!) on the streets of San Francisco. You can check out a video of the day here. Ikea was nice enough to sponsor the park, lending me some pretty fab furniture to deck out my Sweet Spot.

Did you make it to a Park(ing) Day Park on Friday? Several CasaSugar readers stopped by my park on Howard Street in San Francisco, and I spent the entire day chatting with friends and friendly strangers. While I didn't get time to check out a lot of the other parks, I did hear some rumors about some cool spots, including a beach park with a swimming pool and a park that was giving salsa lessons at noon.

In case you weren't aware, today is Park(ing) Day, a yearly event where businesses and volunteers take the time to construct parks in parking spaces in an effort to make the world a greener place.
We'll be hosting a special taste challenge at CasaSugar's Sweet Spot Park, so stop by between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m.

To get you excited for this Friday's Park(ing) Day park, I thought I'd bring you some cute photos from Park(ing) Day in St. Louis. Of course, I think what really takes this park over the top is the adorable cattle dog.

As you know, I'm heading out on Friday to set up my own San Francisco park for Park(ing) Day. But Park(ing) Day isn't just happening in San Francisco, it's happening all over the world! Keep an eye out for parks that seem to pop up overnight, because one might be showing up in your town on Sept.

If you've been reading CasaSugar for any time at all, you know that I love Ikea. With its reasonable prices, versatile pieces, and great seasonal finds, I always find an excuse to wander the massive aisles at least a few times a month.
So, I'm excited to tell you that Ikea is sponsoring CasaSugar's Park(ing) Day site, and providing all of our furniture for the day.

On Friday, I'm going to be in downtown San Francisco transforming an ordinary parking spot into a lush, green temporary park. Since Park(ing) Day is happening in cities all over the world, you might want to think about creating a temporary park in your town. To find out how, watch the slideshow!

I've told you about Park(ing) Day before, but I have an update for you! This year CasaSugar's going to be participating in Park(ing) Day, too. The Sugar girls and I will be creating our own little slice of green in two parking spots in downtown San Francisco.
