pillow obsession....

i have a slight obsession with this pillow.

well, maybe not "slight". i may have a problem.

tomorrow i'll share more my obsession!

you can get a pillow of your own here.

what a treat!

today i received the most glorious package in the mail.

seriously... the greatest surprise. ever.

the mail carrier handed me this...

a little closer...

then i opened the box and found this...

really... could it be any more beautiful?

if you could even imagine...

it gets EVEN better from there!

this is what i ordered.

yes ordered. this was NOT a gift!

can you see it?

ok.

a little closer...

isn't it wonderful.

i'm sure you've seen these before.

nie nie has them in her home and has raved about them!

if you want your own gazing star

go to kurt knudsen's etsy shop.... piggy & dirt!

hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.

mine was filled with family, friends, a pot-luck dinner & beautiful weather!

perfect!
