What I did yesterday I judged. I'm talking to you Restoration Hardware. We're considering two of the Lyon Chairs to go on either side of our fireplace in the kitchen/hearth room. My in-laws have them and they're very cozy and pretty so we might just be big ole' copycats and go get some for ourselves. This, but in gr…
I Need a Hobby ... like I need a hole in my head, but I happened to pick up my mother-in-law's Ehrman Tapestry needlepoint catalog and saw this Blue Willow pattern pillow and momentarily considered taking up needlepoint.

Tootles Y'all! Mary Mcdonald via The Pink PagodaI love this so much! I mean, I pretty much love a cluster of blue and white jars and pots anywhere. I can't think of one time where I'm like, oh no not another grouping of ginger jars. If that ever gets old, well then Belclaire House will be out of business and tha…
