So when my Dad came to visit he made me go to the mall so he could use my employee discount to get new jeans. Boooooring (and also a bit against employee discount policy shhhh don't tell). So to get him back for that one when he asked me if there were any errands I needed to run I said "Well there are a few things a pottery barn that I want to pick up." This wasn't totally untrue I had been coveting these mini fake lemon trees for my dining room table. But as I was browsing making my way into the back of the store the heavens opened up and a ray of light shined down on this rug that was just meant to be mine. After some fancy talking (please Dad! it is 100% wool and hand tufted), a trip home to make sure 5x8 was the size I needed, and a little bit more fancy talking (the other rug I wanted was over $2000, this is a steal in comparison) the rug was mine!! It looks so great and Eddie definetly appreciates that he can glare at me in comfort when I refuse to let him sit on the couch with me. I even got the fake lemon trees too (Dad wouldn't go so far to pay for those though). And the best part, my Dad agreed that it was just what my living room needed. Now how can I convince him to buy me that chair next time he comes?
The mini lemon trees that lead to my fabulous find.
The rug in all its glory. Not the best shot, but a photog I am not. Now a good shopper oh yes I am one of those.
