Sweet Seat -
A close up of the material on the bench. The bench is an antique that I got when I first went to college. The material I found in an antique shop in Buffalo - it isn't old, but it looks like it is.
Frilly Flowers:
These sheets are from the Simply Shabby Chic line at Target (specifically in the children's area). The pillow was a gift from my mom.
Beloved Buddy:
This is Evy's friend Sophie - a very beloved friend. When Sophie got a bed, Evy was very excited that they both had "big girl" beds. She loves to tuck Sophie in and say good night to her.
I hope you're all having a great weekend so far. Evy and I made homemade pancakes this morning. We made an executive decision that some of the pancakes should have chocolate chips in them. It was a wise decision - yum. I'm working on a project today. I'll soon show you the end result (fingers crossed). Hope it turns out okay.
Also, it is my wonderful mom's birthday today. I wish I could be with you to celebrate, but I will see you next week. I love you so much. Thank you for being such a great mom, and such a huge part of my life :o)
Have a great day every one!!
Happy Birthday to your Mom!
And Sophie looks so happy with her bed! How cute!
Good decision on the choc. chips in the pancakes; that sounds YUM!!

Such a sweet room! The double ruffles on the bench seat are perfect.
And I love the Lilac colored walls.
