The water was shut off all day at my place. Apparently they were fixing something next door. It felt weird being a house with no water. It’s amazing how many times you wash your hands or need water to wash a glass or something. We really take all these niceties for granted.

Anyway, I decided to leave the house and went to Pier 1, looking for pillows. I got a new comforter a few months ago and it had been sitting in the bag all this time. The comforter and the pillow shams are very light (Ivory. That’s what “they” call it). I thought that some nice silk pillows in jewel tones would look nice. All the pillows I had were also cream so I found myself headed to Pier 1.

At first, I couldn’t see anything I liked. There were a couple of Indian-looking silk pillows that I liked. One was an olive green and the other was a dark red. There was also a purple pillow but I hate purple. I needed three pillows. Two wouldn’t do. Too symmetrical!

That’s when I spotted it! It was also made out of silk but it had three different fabrics in a patchwork-like fashion and it went really well with the red and green pillows (it’s the one in the middle of the picture, with the yellow vertical stripe). I loved it! I bought it and I was looking forward to making up my bed tomorrow morning and seeing how it looked with my new pillows. (You might be asking yourself why I decided to wait until tomorrow. First of all, you shouldn’t be so judgmental but if you figured I was just plain lazy, you were right).

Now you might be asking yourself, where is she going with this? Well, I was watching Big Brother 2 and they have MY pillow in the Head of Household room! How awful! (Also, what are they thinking? Downgrading their props from IKEA to Pier 1?)

Stumble it!
