OK, it could be worse (as I continually point out to Ted). I could be addicted to crack or gambling or prescription medication reality TV. Instead, I have a slight problem with throw pillows (and magazines, but that seems to bother Ted a lot less). I believe that throw pillows are essential to a room, the way accessories are to an outfit. This may cause those of you who know me in real life to laugh, as my "accessories" usually involve the same pair of stud earrings I wear every day and whatever watch I can most easily find as I try (and fail) to get the kids to school on time with a healthy snack (Pop-Tarts apparently do NOT qualify) and matching shoes before I head to the office. That said, I would LIKE to be the kind of person who wears accessories, and I do believe that throw pillows are an important part of a room.
So needless to say, the day I discovered Etsy was a big day for me and one that changed my life... and my living room and my office. I soon came to realize that the site sells much more than pillows, but pillows were my first Etsy love. I am planning to show you why but until then let me give you a teaser. Here is my favorite pillow purchase (I think. It's really hard to choose):
Since I discovered Etsy, I have bought (feel free to stop reading here, Ted) no less than 25 new pillows. I am going to post a complete pictorial of how said pillows have changed the rooms in which they are employed. I will also be shamelessly promoting the stores where I shop for my pillows because they are amazing and my three readers (Hi Mom!) should know all about them.
Quick weekend recap: Friday night rocked, at least what I remember of it. Saturday sucked as we got buried under a foot of snow, a tree fell on my car, and we missed our best friend's 40th birthday gala. Sunday AM was spent throwing what was quite possibly the worst party ever for my son Andrew. Luckily, he is only 5 and didn't seem to notice that it was a complete failure, but I am sure that my standing among the preschool parents has sunk even lower, if that's possible. But on the bright side, the Giants pulled it out in the end, the Pats lost, and my Eagles are currently crushing the Cowboys. Plus, I might actually win my Fantasy Football game this week. So all's well that ends well, and here's to starting another awesome week tomorrow.
XOXOXO
