So I splurged and finally bought this bedspread I love from Anthropology. I have been wanting to get it for years but lately Rachel and I have been watching One Tree Hill (yes, we are addicted to another show) and Payton, one of the characters, has this same bedspread. I started coveting it more and more every time I saw it on the show. I never spend a lot of money on anything but I figured 4 years was long enough to ponder this purchase so I bought it and I have no regrets. I have an orange dresser, which both sides match (it's got a different pattern on the back). Finding something to match my bold choice in furniture has always been a challenge but at last my room sort of looks like it goes together. Maybe it's the change in weather but I have been feeling really domestic in general. I am rearranging our small place all the time, trying to keep my plants alive (and actually succeeding), and at least desiring to become a better cook (I read a lot of new recipes, does that count??). Oh yeah, I also talk at length with friends about things they could sew for me, but never actually buy any material or attempt to learn how to sew myself. An acquaintance of mine who was at the wedding this weekend was moving and when I heard she was having a garage sale I asked if she was selling her copy of Picasso's, The Rest, (pictured below). She gave it to me and it fits perfectly above the couch- just what I was looking for. I love free stuff! The only down side is that it might make my guests feel sleepy. I will just have to depend on my exuberant personality to keep them awake. Anyway I am not sure why I am rambling on about my domestic yearnings (and my stunning personality). I will never be as creative as the majority of my blogging friends (by the way I hate you all a little bit for being so good at making things), but I enjoy my own attempts at creating art in life. When I do stuff around the house I feel like this is what God meant when He said to take dominion over the earth. This is my little corner of the earth, which reminds me, Happy Earth Day!

That is a beautiful bedspread...a very good purchase.
Oh, and you can love me because I suck at domestic things!
Yay, Yay, Yay! You finally got it-- Definitely not an impulse buy! It looks great.
P.S. You are very creative and I love seeing your creativity come out in photography and domesticity!
You are too cute! Oh, and you are creative girl friend! I love the new bed-spread. And, it looks great with that orange canopy. You definitely have your own cool style.
Love you lots,
Mar
I am so glad you splurged. No, the picasso did not make me sleepy...because I was so danged confused when trying to figure it out. It was actually riveting.
