Chika chika

Don't you just love the Chika bedding and sheet set? I know I surely have mentioned it before, but it's so vibrant and cheery I can't help it.

The funny thing I just discovered about myself recently is that I have a problem with patterned sheets. How do I explain this one? Well I guess in the past I never bought pattern sheets and now that I have I just find them to be too busy and not very relaxing. I know its kind of crazy. I also found that I don't like very dark sheets either, such as the brown ones I bought. Just depressing. Am I a strange one or what? It doesn't bother me if the bedspread is patterned but the sheets must be light colored and little, to no pattern.

Hey, we all have our quirky things right?!

Million Rings Side Table

I love tables made of tree trunks, branches or anything that keeps that natural look.
So this table is awesome to me!

Wallpaper to cheer up your space!

Black and white always works for me.............I would love some on my cubicle walls as a matter of fact. But right now I think its cheaper for me to use the pages of Anthro's catalogs, don't you?
This stuff is way too good for my cube.


or how about some blossoms by Orla Kiely?

By the way, I received my 'Prints' catalog in the mail this weekend. So nice to have in hand!

Happy Friday

I love how vibrant these dish towels are........AND just so you don't lose your Banana bread recipe, there it is right on your tea towel!

or soda bread........

Nice glass

These 'glass menagerie cups' are so adorable. The set of 4 includes a giraffe, panther, fish and a toucan for $32.00.

What I bought..........

Happy Valentines Day!

And the Winner is...........

Margo Pearson from Illinois. Congratulations Margo!!!!

She will be enjoying her Anthropologie soapstone votives very soon!!!
Thank you to everyone who submitted their name. I'm sure we'll do it again, when I'm feeling crazy enough to just give things away.
Maybe we can do some kind of Anthropologie swap where we 'trade' our beloved Anthropologie items for someone else's previously loved but very well kept Anthro items.
Well anyway...that's another thought for a different day.

Yayyyy Margo!!!! Enjoy your votives!!
