I have a few pretty scarves from J. McLaughlin, but never thought of framing one. Love it!
More $ for Homegoods!!!
He doesn't seem to see it that way....
I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020. We relocated to Dallas and have been spending our time searching for our Forever Home. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

the rug is a show stopper, and perfect for the room, what a find. I would say give Chili a treat right now!
ReplyDeleteYou always "floor" me with your adventures and great finds. I bet your Mister must love that he married a trophy wife with good eyes!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2015 and Happy b-day to your number 1. Your gals are beauties!

Katie, the rug looks fantastic, and your girls are so beautiful. Best o0f luck in the New Year
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky find! The rug looks beautiful in your dining room.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - high five on the rug find - it is absolutely gorgeous and perfect in your dining room! I love Newport - little known fact about me - I was born there. :) Your daughters are so pretty (and also both look like such nice girls!). It sounds like a perfect ending to the holidays! By the way, I just finished a good book that takes place in Newport called "The Price of Inheritance" - you might enjoy it. Have a great week, my dear! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAdorable town, and the french onion soup made my stomach growl. I know you must have gone back and forth on whether or not to visit the Tennis Museum. (back and forth - get it? - oh, never mind!).
ReplyDeleteThe rug was a great find...what a special way to spend time with the girls. Happy Monday!

Oh, my goodness, that rug was MADE for your dining room for sure! It looks beautiful! What a fun town, think it needs to be on my bucket list. Happy week!
ReplyDeleteI've been to Newport only in the summer - love the mansions. I wonder if any are decorated for Christmas?
ReplyDeleteThe rug looks terrific in your dining room.
With those eyes, Chili must get his way often.
Oh my gosh! The rug is perfect! What a find!
ReplyDeleteOh my, that rug is gorgeous. You've got a good eye and an agreeable spouse, lucky gal. You may have been joking, but I didI just cosign on a credit card for my 20 year old junior in college son. He searched high and low for a way to do it solo...allegedly doesn't exist. Fortunately he's as thrifty as me (so far.)
ReplyDeleteI blog at www.smokymountainviews.wordpress.com (annually at this point) and my (4) fans are asking for more frequent updates. You inspire me and I'm getting a camera and just might do it! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure, it's fun to experience new places from the comfort of my lounge chair.
I love the rug, it looks fab! So funny to see you mentioning Patricia's drawings of J McLaughlin stores - I was in contact with her yesterday about doing an illustration and told her that I had seen one of the store drawings reprinted in my local newspaper along with an announcement that we will be getting a store here in little ole Jackson, MS. It's a small world!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness...that rug looks fabulous in your DR (as to the chairs, windows, etc)!
ReplyDeletehope you all are staying in and staying warm...we're expecting a toasty 29 degrees here today in the Deep South! i'm not a fan of the entire month of January as that is when we get our coldest and i'm not a cold-lovin' kinda girl.
Your daughters look gorgeous, Katie and I am in love with your new rug. Newport is one of my favorite laces. Hope to get back there some day. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteThat would be places not laces :)
ReplyDeleteYour daughters are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great area to visit and shop! High five on the rug!
Loved Newport! Love the rug!
