Sweater Pillow


Love it or hate it? Honestly, tell me. I saw one in blog land, and thought the one she made was beautiful--a white cable knit nestled perfectly on her tan linen oversized chair. The re-creation was a Pottery Barn knock off. The tag on the catalog pillow was $39.00 I have my own white cable knit sweater, but I love to wear mine too much to sacrifice it for the couch.

I found my sweater for sale at Dollar Tree. Yes, the Dollar Tree. I actually kind of liked the sweater but it was screaming "Old Lady" when I put it on. "This is one I can sacrifice for the couch or chair," I thought.

So tell me, what do you think, honestly? I can take it. Does it look like I forgot to put away the laundry, or a grandmother came to visit and forgot to take her jacket when she left? (Not my grandmother of course--she's a classy lady).

Spring Valentine Door Decoration

Love, love, love it when Christmas clearance can be transformed into something else. This sweet basket is from Real Deals on Home Decor.

With the berries removed, and painted and modge podged wood hearts, floral, and ribbon added, I have a brand new look. A little springy valentine to greet guests.
