YOU'RE KILIM' ME

Anatolian Turkish Kilim Rug Starting Bid: $79 ebay.com

I don't believe there's a better way to add color and charisma to a space than laying down a vintage Kilim rug. Whether it's at the foot of your bed, layered over an inexpensive seagrass rug, or strewn down your entryway you really can't go wrong. It's a sure-fire conversation piece that will make your guests think you're really cultured even though the farthest you had to travel was your Paypal account to buy it. So bust out your bidding paddle and get your ebay on with this bad boy coming to you straight off the boat from Turkey. Holla!

MINTY FRESH

Good things are happening here. I came across this shop a little while back and instantly fell in love. Lots of fab vintage finds at even more fab prices. They have a diverse collection of all sorts of unique things from brass to barware. I recently ordered a couple pink ikat pillows and they arrived in adorable packaging complete with a handwritten note. Since then, they got in some great new arrivals that are definitely worth checking out. I have a feeling I will be shopping here again very soon... already begun my wish list!

PILLOW TALK

Small Auytla Pillow $44.95 Joss & Main

It's time to come clean... I think I'm addicted to decorative pillows. I've been getting packages in the mail almost everyday filled with new pillowcases (leopard, ikat, you name it).  I find myself running to Crate & Barrel every weekend to stock up on pillow inserts like it's the millennium.

So you can imagine my delight when I saw THIS minty striped beauty on Joss & Main over the weekend.  I had seen this guy before - but now it was half the price. And then I saw the two magic words... insert included! Oh no they didn't.

They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I tracked my package this morning and I should be expecting it on Friday. Sorry I'm not sorry.
