When it rains...

When it's raining (horizontally) outside, and the wind is blowing so hard that your umbrella does this:



You want to stay inside and do this:

That's right, make pillows! I made three gorgeous pillows from Pindler and Pindler pink damask fabric.

This one has a large flower in the center.

And I made my first bolster pillow. It was really simple and came out beautifully.

I tied off each end with a pretty brown velvet ribbon.

Do you like these? So much that you want to buy them? Well you're in luck because as much as I love pillows, I can't keep all the ones that I make. You can buy them in my interiors/accessories section on my website. HERE. Get to it! What else was I supposed to do with a rainy day?

I hate on rain

SO at this point in the "Summer" I'm pretty much over the rain. I hate rain gear even though I have cute polka dotted wellies, a trench coat and a pretty pink umbrella. I think by now we should just go ahead and embrace the rain and then maybe it will go away. Worth a shot.

Marc Jacobs loud graphic print umbrella from Nordstrom for 37.50

How cute is this happy little panda umbrella? From the Conran Shop.

Classic Hunter wellies from Shopbop for $115.

Feminine preppy Sperry Topsiders from Piperlime for 60.50 look great for jumping in puddles.

For the equestrian, these chic rain boots are a different change of pace from the polka dots. From Ralph Lauren for $395.

Butterflies! Kinda makes you happy to use an umbrella, huh? Coach for $148.

I love yellow and I love polka dots. J. Crew can do no wrong with these. $49.50

You know when you bring an umbrella and it doesn't rain? It's a proven fact. So, if we all go out and get lots of wellies etc, then the sun will come out. Plus, spending money helps stimulate the economy I'm told.
