Other uses...

Or pillows, or wall art. Even as a pop here and there, like in the bathroom! They are pashminas, originally. :) I was worried about telling you that for fear you wouldn't let me cut them up. Hahaha. Please tell me you are still going to have SOME color in your house? I'm still working on getting color into mine...

Gut Reaction

Dear Hannah,

What a posting marathon! I love it all and will comment accordingly when the perfect moment arrives. Until then, my gut reaction to the fabric:
Love!!!!
Intrigued
How can I use it paired with neutrals?
Kitchen curtains???

More later,
love you,
Ellen

Happy Epiphany! Light.

Dear Ellen, I owe you a call!

The Eleventh Day of Christmas; you thought I was going to forget, didn't you?

Colors

Dear Ellen, so tell me about this Balsam (Porter color 7041-1). How do I see it? And a blogging question, how did you post those House Beautiful squares of color, so nice and isolated like that? BTW, Ben bought me the HB color book for Christmas. Now you can reference any color in there and I will know what you are talking about. :)

The Tenth Day of Christmas, including never before seen pictures of my mom!

The Eighth and Ninth Days of Christmas

Dear Ellen, isn't this rubber ducky cute? Not as cute as Baby Vivi, who we all trucked over to see in Seattle. Her Mama is my dear college friend Carmen, so the 'cousins' got a chance to play together. Sam is going to have to learn to share. Needless to say, though, a wonderful time was had by all (thus proving that there IS life after babies...slowly...) :)















New Year's Eve "Party Bash." I know I am getting old when this is the best description I can come up with. Party bash? What are the young people saying these days? And better yet, do I care, because I am having the time of my life now! High School schmigh school, THESE are the good old days!!
