Quilting Bee

The quilted trend that is among us is so much fun. It makes me feel all cozy inside, like I should be drinking some hot cocoa and reading a good book kind of cozy.

Whether you do a whole sofa like below or just some fun drawer pulls, it's easy to incorporate this trend. And these examples are just the tip of the iceberg. If you look for it, you can find the quilted pattern in just about anything and about every price range.

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: One-Four

I would like an announcer Oprah style that announces my Favorite Things posts. That or Julie Andrews singing an intro.

I want to stay at the New Hotel in Athens. So bright and airy.

If I could pull this look off, I would purchase the bathing suit in 2.7 seconds. Damn winter weight.

Stumped for a unique gift idea? Have a custom head Pez made. Hello! So cool!

Yummy

The ultimate fitted shirt... Fabric in a can. Yes, I said a can.

 Gilded Mint on Etsy has some superb artwork to jazz up your walls.

Yeah, I know. Most people don't like pigeons. But I think we can all agree that these pigeon lamps are very different than the standard city dwelling type.

 My dogs are turning seven in July and they have requested this bed in black as their birthday gift. Uncle Greg, are you listening?

 Little kids in sunglasses make me happy. Especially this kid. Could he be any cuter? The answer would be no. I'm one lucky auntie.

Etsy Jackpot: Janet Hill Studio

While spending many hours searching Etsy for artwork, I came across this gem, Janet Hill Studios. There is something so dreamy about her paintings. They make me want to throw a tea party and go shopping for elbow length gloves, red lipstick and something sparkly. Now the hard part, deciding on one.
