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.

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.
