confessions of an old soul.

i'm an old soul. if i could retire today & putter around the garden, i would. i would also make my needlepoint hobby into full-time, & probably would paint more. a lot more. oh - my husband would also put on a few pounds because i'd be cooking all the pizzagaina & stroboli i'd like.

in the meantime, since i don't have time to make my own needlepoint pillows, i'm drooling over the coral & paisley ones from village house needlepoint pillows. while there are your garden-variety grandma pillows everywhere, these are chic, updated & oh-so-applicable to my home.
at around $75 per, they're a bit more expensive then your average pottery barn fare, but aren't they worth it?? i mean, look at the detail!

best names. ever.

tucker blair not only stole two of my favorite potential baby names (back to the drawing board...), but they stole my heart with their oh-so-classic needlepoint belts, flip flops & headbands. all i need now is a mount gay rum party, & a pair of croakies to take me back to the club at home (don't worry, they offer those, too). how many days till memorial day??




73 days till memorial day, btw. not that we're counting.
