I love my bed

Thanks to my parents, Geoff and I swapped our old bed for a new and much larger bed...we went from a Queen to a California King and - OMG - it is pure bliss!!  The sad thing was we didn't have bedding for our larger love so it sat looking like a pile of blanket mishap for...not one week...not one month...not one year...nope, it was a blanket mishap for well over a year!!  Yikes!

I know, I know...it's horrible to not have a nice put-together bed but Cal King bedding can be pricey and we had other priorities...but this all changed last night...

I went to one of my favorite stores - Good Ol' TJ Maxx - just to peruse..ya know...see what's out there that I may HAVE to replenish my wardrobe with...and lo and behold I found this Cynthia Rowley set for cheap, cheap!  Alas they only a queen size quilt and the round pillow.  So I bought the round pillow and set off for the other store around my area hoping to find the quilt...unfortunately, store #2 didn't have anything - not.one.item...so off I went to the third and last store hoping that I would have luck...and luck was in my corner!!  Phew!  Not only did I snag the last quilt in the store but it just happened to be the right size and I was able to snag three shams too!

I must say I am in love with our bedding and it fits in with my vintagey-eclectic style perfectly! I would like to can a couple smaller accent pillows so I'll keep my eyes peeled for the perfect ones but all-in-all I am one happy gal!  

 Bliss, I tell ya...



And the boys love it too!!

My little nephew, Bowen, decided to come a little early... actually a lot early... due towards the end of May but he decided he'd rather be an Easter star!  He's a small bundle of joy and has to remain in the NICU for three weeks but all in all is doing very well.  Geoff and I have affectionately deemed him "Bowie" after the great Ziggy Stardust...Mr. David Bowie himself.  Personally, I think it's perfect as he made such a rock star appearance!

Can't wait to snuggle with the little bugger!
