What's On My Birthday List?

My birthday is in a couple of weeks!

The best thing about my birthday is having my family together...

so we rarely celebrate my birthday on my actual birth date

because it's almost impossible to have everyone available at one time.

I'll probably wait until Easter to celebrate this year so that Caroline will be home too!

I usually have a hard time coming up with birthday and Christmas lists,

but this year I had no problem!

Here's what's on my birthday list....

Butterfly Prints

This is one print in a set of four,

 and I would love to have the set of four to hang in our upstairs hallway.

Green Chinoiserie Ginger Jar

I am decorating our master bedroom and would love to add this beautiful

ginger jar to my collection of bedroom accessories.

Moss Topiary

I would love a pair of these for my master bedroom as well!

Green Provencial Personalized Frame

I love anything Marye-Kelley makes, but I especially love her frames and clip boards!

Again, I would love this frame for my master bedroom!

Can you guess my master bedroom color scheme?

Patagonia Fleece

OK I know I already have several of these fleeces, 

but all of them are in "winter" colors...I would love one in the pineapple yellow

to wear in the spring and summer...and it would be perfect for USNA football games!

LL Bean Gingham Shirt

I would love to have this cute kelly green poplin shirt

 to wear with my pink sweaters this spring!

Longchamp Le Pliage

No birthday or Christmas list would be complete without a handbag or tote!

Would LOVE to add this Longchamp in the color Lagoon to my handbag collection!

Soooo...kind of a random birthday list....

but all things I would love to have!

Gotta Love Gingham!

 

In keeping with my love of all things plaid,

I am devoting this post to gingham,

which I also LOVE.

  

Here are some fabulous ways to use gingham

in your home, your wardrobe, and in your entertaining...

These chairs were an the inspiration for this...

I had this chair recovered in the pink and white gingham...

(room is a work in progress)

Love the freshness of this blue and white gingham bedding.

Calm and tranquil sitting area, again loving the blue and white.

 

MacKenzie Childs inspired table....cute!

I REALLY want this Sabre flatware in the blue and white gingham!
It is cute in the green too...and red...and the yellow....

Loving this table...

Cute and easy way to make centerpieces!

Red gingham is always a festive picnic setting!

My girls are far past this stage....but grandchildren!!!!

  

Perfect for a rainy day!

Adorable summer dress...cute with a  red patent Tory Miller sandal!

 

OK this is totally ME.

 

 
And so is this....I wear an apron every time I am in the kitchen.

 
Precious...I have this one in the hot pink but love the baby pink too.

Hope you enjoyed some of my gingham favorites...
