Embarrassment of Riches

I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend and Mother's Day. My little ones were so sweet and tried to be good and helpful all day. Plus, there was the loot . . .

My husband knows me all too well. He surprised me with this book. It's very cool, I just wish there were fewer designers featured but more photos from the individual homes. Too much of a tease. But I still love it! More importantly, I got lots of expressions of love . . .

and . . . 

a ticket to shop. What else could a mother ask for?

Hope your Monday is starting off well. Mine will be spent at the pediatrician's office where my little one will undoubtedly be diagnosed with yet another ear infection. I fear another set of tubes is in our future. Boo.

To My Dear Family,

Since Mother's Day is coming soon and you're often asking me what I'd like as a gift (besides your love, of course), I thought I would give you an idea. One word: pillows.

Specifically, these pillows from Etsy. A little La Fiorentina in coral would add some much needed punch to our family sofa. See, it would really benefit us all. I'm being the selfless mother once again.

The zebra pillows from West Elm are looking a little worse for wear these days.

And of course, once the sofa gets a facelift, I'd hate to ignore the slipper chairs. Never fear, I found a little pick-me-up for them (and me) as well . . .

This ikat chevron/flamestitch pillow would fit the bill nicely. I'm loving the corals and chartreuse yellowy-green. I think it would coordinate nicely with colors in our rug . . .

Excuse my unstyled coffee table.

Unfortunately, there's only one available and we have two chairs. Slight hiccup. Not to worry, I'll find an alternative. Plenty of time until Mother's Day. I'm off to shop now . . . 

Love,

Mom
