For some reason, I have really been into bees lately. More specifically, the bee motif. I've been stung enough to know that these little winged creatures are best admired from a distance or when they're serving as inspiration for a crafty project. There is just something about
Apis Melifea that makes a really striking theme. Several years ago, Restoration Hardware featured embroidered bees on a number of there bath towels and linen sets. We scored a king size duvet and sham in a champagne color with white bees emblazoned on it.
I love this set and am loathe to part with it even though the sun has pretty much faded it into a ombre facsimile of what it once was. SN: What drives me nuts is that this is such a popular set and yet, RH discontinued it and has no plans of bring it back. Believe me, I've checked in the stores. Numerous times. Had I known that it would be discontinued, would I have at least closed the curtains to protect it from fading? Maybe a couple of times, but this is a girl who throws hand wash only items in a laundry bag on the gentle cycle and crosses her fingers.
Anywhoodle, I'm really into bees and am thinking that's going to be the theme for #3. Morgan had giraffes, Coever had. . .um. . .oh yeah, pickles and ice cream, so it's only fair that Trip (short for Triple) has his/her own banner. Thankfully, there is quite a bit of bee stuff out there; of course, most of what I'm looking at is with me in mind. I mean, I'm the Queen Bee around here. . .(sorry, I couldn't resist).
You are showing off your Latin today, Hilary. :)
ReplyDeleteNice set. Too bad they've discontinued it. Let your fingers do the walking through the Internet, though. I'm sure you'll find a similar treasure. It's January - white sales!
I love the bee theme for little Trip. I don't recall ever knowing a collector or admirer of bees.
We have turtles galore packed away from the husband's mother and step-mother. What a coincidence that they both collected the same thing.
Hope you're feeling well. Eat an extra helping of something for me, please. :)
You love bees just like I love all things animal print (zebra and leopard) Those prints just go so well with RED which is my fav color
ReplyDeleteSo, the word is out now!!!! Yeah! Trip...I like that. Cute. Are you going to find out if it is a girl or boy?
