Come Dream-Shopping With Me!

Ohhhh these sooo unfairly tug at my heart.

My heart

that loves anything and everything with

graphics and text... 

Sooo not fair....

They are new "Love Letter" bed sheets from

Anthropologie

(Between $240 & $270/set 

depending on size.)

And while we're on the subject of bed sheets, I am going to be in the market for 

a new bed/mattress before long (long overdue!) and I was browsing the

Restoration Hardware site (again) 

and found a few things that 

might

just 

fit 

the

bill:

Leather sleigh bed... on sale, no less. 

:)

Or, this vintage-look metal bed... yes, I could live with this...

But I also love the simple, elegant lines of this wing-back style upholstered headboard.

Hmmm... I think I'll choose a tan or charcoal linen...

Oh... sorry, still dreaming and wishing.

And nearby in the bedroom, wouldn't this be the PERFECT spot for putting on 

makeup and doing my hair??  Yes... I do believe it would...

Nightstands are a necessity, of course, so how about these?

And what cozy retreat would be complete without this tobacco leather chest of drawers --

trunk style?  Oh my... I'm in trouble... There is no going back now.

And in the joining bath, it only makes sense to add this beauty -- 

it relates so well with the other pieces in the bedroom, right?

:)

I have longed for one of these French baker/patisserie tables forever...

from whenever the first time I ever laid eyes on it.

I wish I could remember where I saw this picture --

I would love to give credit where credit is due...

There has been a lot of talk of boots in my house for the last couple of months...

My husband, not one I would have EVER pegged for wanting cowboy boots,

is now proud owner of a pair of rather fancy ones:

All after simply going in

to our local shoe repair shop (which also happens to specialize in boots) to pick up

some of my shoes that were in for repair.   But I digress... 

And I could be a boot girl if I lived somewhere that would actually make

these practical.  But Florida -- not so much.

But my heart does go pitter patter when I see these!  

I imagine myself heading out for the day on snowy streets, bundled up in 

some fabulous coat and a pair of jeans -- and these boots.

And a little "shorty" version that is so cute!

I saw these on a wonderful Swedish blog, Biskopsgarden.

Well, it's now 12:30 am on Sunday morning and in less than 6 hours

my daughter, Olivia, will be at the airport meeting up with her group

to head off once again to China for 2 weeks.

She has opted to stay up all night and skip any sleep in an effort to

try and be REALLY tired so she'll do a lot of sleeping on the flight there.

So, I'm going to attempt the same.  

Only thing is, I don't have a flight tomorrow morning on which

I can catch up on my sleep!    

Some of you may recall that she went last year and I did

THIS blog post upon her return.

I'll be missing her terribly during her absence but I am so

stinkin' proud of her I can hardly stand it... and I know

she'll be fine and safe while she's there.

I love you, Miss Olivia!

How I ever got blessed enough to have you, I'll never know...

  

Thanks for going on my "dream shopping trip" with me!

Fun, without all the expense!   

:)
