Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?

In a world that is spiraling down the toilet  ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time.  It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same.  (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix.  Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there.  When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it!  One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc.  I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling.  My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust.  (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...

Pottery Barn Current Gray Crushes

I got a new Pottery Barn catalog in the mail and you know what that means...it's time to look at my Current Crushes!

Let's peruse PotteryBarn.com

I saw these dishes in gray and literally gasped but I'm still dealing with my unwieldy Cambria which is an inch bigger than these so I chose to drool over the serving bowl and platter for guests that we'll never entertain.



I scrolled past this Willow Square Basket and my heart started racing.


Our bathroom has similar coloring and while our current trashcan is very similar in shape, it was painted and just didn't turn out the way we wanted.  I'm hoping it comes down a little more on price because even on sale for $41, I'm still too cheap to pay it.

I have your typical cheap "boob lights" in the kitchen, front hall and at the top of the stairs.  I've been searching high and low for a flush mount that I actually like.  I may have found it...


The PB Classic Flushmount with Ribbed Glass is very similar to what I was looking for especially after seeing a pendant version in the home we stayed in on Martha's Vineyard.  Mama's gonna have to wait for a serious sale first though.

I love this Gray Fringed Hand-Loomed Rug

At some point we're taking the antique area rug out of the living room to see if the allergies I have with my eyes are from the flooring or the rug.  If it's the rug, then I'd like this one to replace it since it says it's soft underfoot and I do miss that since ours is scratchy.

Well, I guess I should stop looking at the catalog because that'll just get me in trouble!

What are you crushing on?

  1. I actually like the light you found here and I am not opposed to checking that rug out too, actually. It might be nice to have a softer rug. But I would want to see it in person first.

  2. These are so pretty! I really like the basket -- perfect for your bathroom. I'll be interested to see if the rug you currently have is causing your allergies. That's a perfect reason to get this new rug! =o)
