Thanks CJane :)
I e-mailed you this fall about this "had to have" headband and you sent me a note back right away. Now I proudly sport this stylish piece of head attire. Love it!

I am totally not rich and can't afford much but I love seeing where you got things, because you have wonderful things. And it's always good to look around where you suggest because there are such things as clearance sales. Sheesh!

Get over it, the Wolfey Family!

That post from the wolfley family, was actually from me, accidently logged into my sister's account. I didn't mean it to be rude at all, I'm just saying...it's a bit depressing to look here. I'm glad you have all the fabulousness that you have. Sorry if I offended.

Hayley, I hope you don't mind if I rant at your expense. You seem like an open minded person, so I feel comfortable doing this in your virtual presence.

I used to feel guilty for comments like yours. I used to feel like I should be apologizing all the time for my supportive family, or enjoyable friends or my luck at finding the perfect pink skirt (RIP). I felt like perhaps I was contributing to the whole "My life is more charmed than yours" blogging phenomena of which I don't like at all.

But then it occurred to me, that if my readers really think that my life is fabulousness all the time, they are crazy. They are buying into a false idea born from immature thinking. And I am sorry for that, but--heaven help me--I am not responsible for that. I will put out there what I put out there, but that does not mean that what I don't put out there doesn't happen.

And last of all, I don't care about how much something costs as much as how something makes me feel. If it makes me feel happy, enlightened or joyful I buy it. Simply put. $10 or $110. And in doing so I find that money isn't really that important. And also, the more I rejoice in treasures, the less I need.

You can feel me here, right Hayley?

End rant.

c jane, love your response. I don't know why people torture themselves! If it depresses you to look here, than stop!

How old's too old to wear a cute head band like you have?

I think I need one and I guess if I like it that's all that matters, right?

I saw Antrophologie for the first time when I went to New York this summer. I had the address printed out and I was soo excited to go. I was not dissapointed. :) The lady behind the counter told me they're going to open in London this fall, and I am thrilled! :D

Today I think I have stopped to read your C Jane blog today about 30 times. I'll get busy and come back and duty will call, and I'll get busy, you get the picture. Well, I was reading "older posts" as I like to read your blog but don't get a chance too with 3 busy little boys (ha! two started school yesterday). So then I saw this blog. I was scrolling through the pictures and it dawned on me, I think I'm the girl who doesn't think about style that much. I'm the one that likes a color or the silhouette of something but I would never have thought to jump out there and ask about them. But I'm glad you mentioned where your chairs were from and before I read the answer...I said...I bet they're from Ikea! So maybe I do know a little about style or maybe I just know I like Ikea and I might be a little jealous of your style and how well you execute it. ; )
