Remember when I let Cricket pick out fabric for her room? One of my favorites was that orange and white fabric in the middle of the bottom row. 
I first spotted it in Elle Decor. The article said the duvet cover came from West Elm. I searched high and low and couldn't find it. 
Then I got an e-mail from Paula. 
You know her as the talented blogger from Two Ellie. She said the duvet was from Pottery Barn (not West Elm) and she had used it for a project in her son's room. Not only that, but she had some left over..would I like it? Are you kidding? I was thrilled. She would not let me pay her and mailed it out right away. Bloggers are nice. Really nice. Cricket and I both loved the print, but in the end, she choose something different. But I loved the fabric so much I had to use it somewhere....
I am now working on a project for Butterball's room. Here is a sneak peak. I just hope my ADD doesn't kick in before I finish. A big thank you to Paula!! If you have been living under a rock and haven't seen her blog check it out: Two Ellie. She has also just become the official blogger for French Market & Antiques. Check out the new blog at Mrs. French.
Love the sneak peek! Those fabric combos are great and I see some buffalo check in there!! Where did you get the giraffe fabric? So, darn cute!!
ReplyDeleteI truly hope that the kindness of bloggers makes the world a better place...it has to rub off somehow, at least I feel it has on me.
ReplyDeleteMy Father always told me one good deed deserves another.
Love to see what you have done! Sweet fabrics.

p.s. I'm going to post a photo of my son on my blog soon (demolishing a fireplace!) and am wracking my brain trying to come up with as good a nickname for him as "Butterball"!!!! You have really raised the nickname bar and I am not coming up with any nicknames remotely in that league! Maybe I'll just call him "son" till inspiration strikes me!
bloggers are nice...but followers may not be if you don't update more frequently!! Where are you Sissy?
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I find it absolutely adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sara Kate
Go Paula! I know I love blogging for reasons such as this. Love your fabrics too!
