Baby, It’s Cold Outside. Pendleton.

I can feel the chill in the air.  It’s so cold in the house that the heat is on.  People that know me know that I rarely use a thermostat.  Too technical.  I’d rather sit in the living room in my parka, hat and scarf than turn the heat on.  It makes no sense but that’s how I grew up.  I am always a tiny bit jealous when I walk into someone’s home that feels toasty.  It’s so easy to attain.  I know.  I don’t get me sometimes.  What I do get is the justification for getting me a blanket.  Pendleton blankets and towels are now stocked at Firefly.  As I was unpacking the box, I just couldn’t believe it.  They are all amazing.  If fashion could just be a tad more lenient, I could convince you that blankets are ponchos and my moccasins are sexy stilettos.  If I am not careful, I am going to wake up and find a teepee in the yard.

The towels are also incredible.  If I had rustic guest quarters in my humble abode, I would get a set of six.  If I had an extra closet at this point, I would be grateful.  Also we have baby blankets at Kid.  Mia (okay, her Mom) loves hers so much that we actually replaced it when it disappeared.  They are amazing and sturdy and perfect for the park or to be more truthful, great on the living room floor.

Donna Wilson. You are Amazing.

I am such a huge, huge fan of Donna Wilson.  I’ve owned one of her pillows for years, and I covet it every bit as much as the day I bought it.  Her bright pop and folksy sense is just outrageously great.  I feel nostalgic, silly and basically utterly happy when I look at her designs.  She is one crafty lady.  I’m waiting on a pouf that’s coming our way, and I can’t wait to rest my feet on it after a hard day’s work.  Just look at this fab couch I found via Home Shopping Spy:

 

I brought a blanket home for Mia as I couldn’t help myself, but the husband asked if we really needed it, so back to the shop it went…(for now).  Aren’t these the best looking hot water bottles you’ve ever seen?  We have all sorts of items now in the shop and more are on the way.  In addition to hats, gloves and scarves, we’ve got plush at Kid and just about the cutest baby blankets and pillows you’ve ever seen.  That Donna is clever.  I have a terrible sense of direction and am a bit slow when it comes to left and right.  When I saw these gloves, I couldn’t resist.  I’ll be seriously laughing at myself all winter long and will probably need to wear these in yoga class so I know which leg to lift when the teacher calls out a sun salutation.  Namaste.

Mia loves her Lollacup

I’m telling you, folks, if you have a kid that’s looking for a good sippy cup, then this if the one you want.  I didn’t originally understand it when a Mom was telling me that if she could invent one thing it would be Lollacup.  I mean, I thought it was cute, but how different could one sippy cup be from another?  I’m here to report that I have been converted.  I am a true believer – Lollacup rules.  While traveling this summer, ours got ruined by my near perfect mother-in-law as they don’t go in the dishwasher (thus relinquishing her from perfect status – what a relief!).  We couldn’t find a suitable cup to replace it.

The straw part has a weight on the bottom, so no matter what angle your kid takes a sip from, they always get what they’re after.  They originally came in orange, green and red and they’ve just added two new colors: black and purple.
