Beautiful blooms Wally! Refresh my memory....are you down towards Richmond? I can never get poppies to grow here.... K (Spring)

Oh, thanks everyone. I knew you all would appreciate the linens and it just boggles my mind that other folks aren't going through this section of the store at all. There were tons of linens to choose from, all with such nice detailing. I guess it's nice to be a "More is More" girl during a "minimalist" trend. :) Prosperity- what an interesting thing, someone had done a rendition of that painting... I see it on things like china sometimes, but not terribly often. My friend has a number of urns and candlabras that have courting couples on it similar to that, so I think she'll be happy with it. Could you share your link to your Holidays blog? Because I'd be happy to add your link to my blog as well. I imagine my readers would really like to learn about your holidays and what you do for them. --Jenn

It must have been the luck of your Irish decor that you won the basket full of goodies! The napkin rings are perfect for Easter and that wreath can be used spring & summer! The handpainted tray would look great with a small teapot & cups on it for Easter! That cage, I had one exaclty like it some years ago, before the tablescape world entered my life, think I sold it at one of my garage sales. Karen, must admit, I have started my Easter decor, since I only have the small St. Pat's vignette in the middle of my table, I've started Easter everywhere else in the house! Oh my gosh, have been seeing bunnies with the blue delft all over the internet in vignettes & even stopped at a thrift store & Home Goods today looking for one. Home Goods had one table of Easter decor, just like Hobby Lobby, they are not carrying much stock at all for the holidays. If not for thrift stores & garage sales, I think we'd be out of luck right now for new things!!!

You won't need a tape measure in your purse, though--you'll probably come home with half a dozen paper tape measures in various pockets :) Yes, textiles of all kinds--pillowcases, rugs, curtains...Some Ikea draperies are used in very upscale houses I've seen in magazines... Also bathroom accessories--several lines of them. Office accessories. Storage of every conceivable kind. Hey, you know what--go to the Ikea website and get a preliminary look! Then at least you'll have some destinations in mind for after the AS-IS room :)
