    I LOVE that ring. And my closet has been overtaken by the Old Navy long tanks. They are just fabulous!

    I am loving that mirror, too. I think I saw it on Dooce a few days ago – both of you have great taste!

    You have great taste! I live in those Old Navy tank tops. Best of all, they’re cheap enough that you can toss them if you spill. (Not that I’m a messy eater or anything.)

    I love the pillows! Because they are green, of course, and would totally go with the shamrock living room. If I were to acquire any more pillows, JG would scream. We don’t even have that many, I swear…

    I heart West Elm. I keep wanting to go to the store, but I’m afraid that I’d sell an organ to get their overlapping squares headboard.

    Ooh, you taught me that amethysts come in other colors besides purple!

    I’m on the lookout for cool pillows, so I might have to check that one out.

    I also heart heart HEART West Elm. I think I would easily be able to do my entire house in West Elm and probably not even get very bored.

    Janet, I love these posts! I think it was one of these types of posts that brought us together, all that time ago ;) Oh, the sentimentalities of consumerism! Hee!

    Lime squeezers are really the cats meow. I like how affordable your wishes are. What a nice practical girl you’re being for Santa!

    Love the ring, love the pillows, but must comment on the citrus squeezer. I have one for limes and one for lemons and I absolutely love them. I’m also slightly obsessed with limes, lime juice and all things limey – and I use my juicer/squeezer all the time.

    I love love love that mirror! It’s amazing. And the ring!? Ah! Man you have great taste. I would ask for Old Navy tanks too, except I’m pretty sure I have them in every color already, haha.

    I love, love, love West Elm. I’m impressed you were able to narrow the selection down to just one item!

    I love West Elm as well, but there stuff seems a little modern for my cottage sometimes….

    p.s. The ring is to die for!

    That ring is awesome! Maybe ask for two of each thing on that list and just send the other one to me! I want everything on your list! Maybe not the citrus press, but the rest of it!

    The ring is gorgeous. I went to pillowsandthrows.com to look at their stuff, and holy CRAP — I can’t imagine ever spending $100 on a pillow, no matter how amazing or how much money I have. It’s a shame, because their stuff is really cool! Back to Etsy for me. :)
