The Pottery Barn Pillow

My daughter is writing a book.

One of the characters loves Pottery Barn so Rebekah has been doing some research.

She noticed that our home has a slight resemblance to the popular home decor chain.

Maybe more than slight because she asked if I was trying to live in a Pottery Barn.

She stopped in for Sunday night dinner and knew I'd been there.
I had to pop over to Ft. Worth to get a tire checked and while I was there I took a jaunt over to the store. I've had a $10.00 gift card knocking around in my purse for almost 2 years.

I knew that it would be difficult to spend only $10.00 which is why I put it off but I found an adorable pillow for spring.

It was $38.00 with the gift card.

This is way more than I usually spend on a throw pillow but it's just so cute.

I saved by not getting their pillow insert which was $20.00.

I came home and stuffed a standard size pillow into the the new cover.

It fit perfectly.

A duvet that coordinates with this has been on Rebekah's wish list.
She actually didn't think I'd like this line because of the black ground but I adore black backgrounds with pops of florals.
I think she was shocked that we were both on the same wave length.

I tried to mimic the look in the catalogue by propping the letter M on the mantel.

I got that last year at LaurieAnna's Vintage Home.

I also put some faux spring blubs in my terrarium from IKEA.

The little lamb on the coffee table was an eBay find.

My aunt got one like it for my mom.
I just adored it and searched until I found one for me.

It's such a darling.

The weather continues to be a little wacky.

It hasn't been very "winter like" so all the plaid has been put away for another year.

Work continues at a crazy busy pace so
I've done some leather crafting in my down time to relax.
Now that I know my sewing machine can sew thin leather a whole new world of crafting has opened up.
