It all started with this tree. I painted it on Brinn’s walls back in 2008

I figured I would just stick to the garden theme and go with it.

Tinsley’s furniture in Rock Hill is now the Shoppes at Rivers Edge.

When I was shopping for furniture for the store, I saw some beds I wanted to get the girls, but the timing wasn’t right. I went back down all excited to buy the beds, but they were gone! I found this cute dresser though, and they sent me off with a phone number to find the girl that had the particular shop I was looking for.

It was $65 and has a stool, too.

I found her. In Matthews, and she still had the beds! I paid $150 for both.

I headed down to the Pottery Barn outlet in Gaffney, because I’d remembered they had some really cute garden themed bedding. Major score. That dresser had a huge gash on the side of it, so I paid $160 for it…

and found the perfect bedding.

Not really. Like most years, Bob bought me a gift certificate for anthropologie. I really really REALLY wanted one of their beautiful retro style bathing suits. Sadly, the store doesn’t carry them and my body can’t handle “guessing” if a suit will fit or not. Cuz most likely there is no chance in hell, so I got this instead:

36. I will embrace it. Because plastic surgery is always an option if needed.
