I don't know why I do this to myself. They come in the mail. I fold down page corners. I plan. I dream. I wish. I toss. All that coveting can really get to a girl, a girl on a budget. I find it better to just dump most of them in the recycling bin. I save a few pages for thrifting & diy inspiration, projects that can be done much cheaper using imagination. A few very special items are actually purchased, the majority remain a dream. Here's what I'm dreaming about.

Ooo, I like your dreams... great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to visit. It's always so nice to meet new people.

Wow, you've got great taste. I'll take one of everything. That bookcase though, actually looks like something out of the chicken coop.

I'm dreaming of one of those pillows, too. I want one for California but they are so expensive!
ReplyDeleteI like your dreams, too! Does shabby cic have a catalog?? Love the red stools and PB chairs!
ReplyDeleteJonesing for that chicken-coop bookcase. My coffee table, once upon a time, really was the door to a henhouse. When I repainted it, there were notations on the back about how many dozen eggs on what day. Murphy's Oil Soap took care of the *other* evidence ;)
ReplyDeletetotal cuteness!!
ReplyDeletecongrats on winning the jackpot of sisboom fabrics. let us know what you whip up!

I love garnet hill - those shoes are so cute and they look comfy too! Thanks for sharing your wish list - always chalk full of treasures!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to work at a place and get the pillows from Cat Studio at cost. I bought the one that is of Ireland. I have a shirt (when they were known as Swan Magic) that is of the Nutcracker Suite, one of Italy and one of Skiing.
ReplyDeleteWe are dreaming of some of the same things. But atleast yours aren't all in sorted stacks about the house. Oy!
ReplyDeleteAll yummy things I too would dog ear in my magazines! lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I have adored those state pillows for-e-ver! But they're so doggone pricey.
ReplyDeleteDawn
P.S. I just read your list of things you love and I'm with ya!!
I love every single dream. The pillow is cool and the shoes:)
ReplyDeleteBristol
They are definitely wish books, Jen! I do the same as you. Unless I hit a really great clearance sale at PB!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
I'm celebrating my 200th post with a little giveaway.

I know how you feel. Each time I say to myself, I'm definitely going to place an order this time but then I end up not doing it.
ReplyDeleteLove your wishes, btw!

Come by and say hello and see me! I have posted some pics! Did something very new to me...eeekkk! Had some fun but thought I would give it a try!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Robyn
Most excellent taste :) I drool over Pottery Barn, Title Nice, Sundance, JCrew, and so many more. It helps prompt the imagination!
ReplyDeleteHey, Joanna from UncommonGoods here. I was so excited to see the posting for the state pillow and the feedback on the price. While we try to keep our unique items affordable, we also love giving our customers the option of having handmade items (like these!) which are often more expensive. They are worth every cent once you see what a statement they make!
ReplyDeleteFor other interesting, fun and afforable gifts, check out www.uncommongoods.com
Yeah, I'll take one of each, too!!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have the sense to toss...I end up hanging onto them in the hopes of tearing out pages!!
Stop by, if you have a chance...I'm hosting a "perfectly imperfect" week, and I'd love you to participate!!
Have a great week Jen!
Linda
love your picks!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting those Pottery Barn chairs, too--one in every color, please! -Julia :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why did you show me these! :) That cabinet from Garnet Hill put me over the top.
