Ewwww! I have been looking for a mundane (yet embarrassingly unnecessary) item for my daughter’s room, a plain quilted pillow sham in light pink. OK, so it’s the euro size, which is a little much, I know (raised with hippie parents in a tiny house with no plumbing, I now have a thing for “catalog” beds, though I do it on a budget). I looked and looked and looked in stores and online (including used on eBay), and guess where I found IT. Oh yes, and not only was IT just what I was looking for, IT was even BETTER. IT has that extra little something that made it impossible to look anywhere else: in this case, the embroidery is in a simple flower pattern, and my daughter loves flowers. Of course I ordered it, and not only that, I did so without a coupon. Let the walk of shame commence!

I’m in that demo too, and worse, the one for Restoration Hardware which has transmorgified from a cool place with cheap retro stuff to a you’ve-got-to-be-kidding dink paradise. I’m saved because 1) I haven’t got the money and 2) I’m waaayyyy too cheap. But the pjs are adorable, and Christmas is for stuff that you would never get normally. He will love them and will look adorable in them.
