My mom gave me a chalkboard canister and a crystal cross for Easter. Useful since I just cracked my coffee canister 2 weeks ago and the cross I did have broke years ago.
I got new bedding about a month ago (all white, hotel style) and I'm in LOVE. I never thought I'd like white but I love how simple and snuggly and cozy romantic it is. H even commented on how great it is.
DS got a new lime shag rug from his room. It's so cushy and soft. Him and DD play on it all the time.
I also want a set of heavy duty solid wood lawn chairs for out by our swingset. I told H to get me some for my birthday so we shall see.
Where is the shag rug from? I got one for our LR and am loving it, but I'm not sure how long it will last. Oh, and I am not used to you saying "DS". I love it!
LOL. DS is still weird to me too. I bought the rug for $159.00 on Overstock. It seems decent quality, especially for a bedroom that doesn't see a ton of high traffic or anything. We'll see what happens when I vacuum it (eventually..ha) and if it tears to shreds or something. I do have 2 other Overstock rugs and they have all been fine so I'm not real worried.
I bought a fleece blanket with birds on it from Marshall's- king size and perfect for the weather now. DH made the bed yesterday and put it on sideways so the birds were sideways. WTF?
Lol, we have a bedspread that's a patchwork quilt on one side and a solid floral on the other side. We've had it for like five years. When we were making the bed the other day DH started to put it on with the floral side up. I said, "I like the quilt side better," and switched it. He was all, "I didn't realize they were different." FIVE YEARS!!!
We are putting together a nursery without knowing the gender. Bedding has been particularly hard. Most bedding is very gender specific. We picked up a hot air balloon rug as the inspiration piece.
We have a glider and ottoman in a pale green that complements the rug. We are still looking for a couple of lamps and a side table to go next to the glider/ottoman in addition to the bedding.
OMG I love the converse and the sketchers! I want them! And I need more shoes like a hole in my head. But I have these flats sitting in my shopping cart:
Why? Because I don't have anything like this. Therefore I must have them!

The sketchers are ridiculously comfortable. Like WHOA. It's like walking on a pair of pillows.
I have a love for Roxys going back years and it's like they understand my foot shape - I'm guessing those shoes wouldn't fit at least 75% of women properly. But they're great for me and last forever.
