restoration hardware heart attack...

Have you seen the new Restoration Hardware catalog?

I got mine earlier this week, and put it in my pile of

"to get to later"

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw their wares!

I want absolutely everything in every single picture,

and can afford absolutely nothing!

How did they know the inner desires of my little design heart?

So jealous

(but happy for of course)

of all the designer hearts

that will get to live with all these lovelies!

I mean just look at this floor lamp!

Just look at these french pillows!

Just look at this hand tied rug!

But the pièce de résistance:

This is a chest made to look like an old steamer!

...an all cigar leather version!

Surely there is some way to convince hubby that we not only NEED this desk,

but that it is a good deal at over $3000!

Surely!

And oh, my goodness,

are there really ANY words for how spectacular this chair is?

NO! NOT ONE!

You all know how much I LOVE me some farmhouse style.

Well, they have a whole line titled "farmhouse"

AAAHHHH!!!!

I can run, but I can not hide!

They have found me.

Darn you budget!

Darn you restoration Hardware!

The best things in life ARE free!

Who says that the best things in life aren't free?

Well, not me!

Check out these cool give-aways from these cool blogs:

From vintage junky, a pillow that I absolutely adore.

In fact, I ordered it this morning from her on Etsy before it became a give-away.

But, one more sure wouldn't hurt.

She also has a OOAK pitcher to give.

From a Beach Cottage,

a subscription to Australia's County Living magazine.

I looked into subscribing to this magazine a couple of weeks ago, but to receive it in the states was nearly $200, so needless to say, my heart had to go on wanting. Until possibly now!

Just so we are clear, I am sharing this give-away with you all that I have been longing for, so if one of you wins it, be prepared to share. And I do mean without all the fabulous pages torn out for filing away as a must do someday! Oh yeah, I know ALL about that! Two more of my favorite giveaways: What is funny about this one is, don't you remember needing to jot something down so badly, and no paper in sight. Not to mention a pen. Or when you so desperately need to get rid of that old gum, but your momma taught you better than to just spit it out! Well, how excited would you have been to stumble onto one of these at just the right time?

...and what a great promotion!

Free air guitars....

Watch out Tom Cruise, I am picking mine up tomorrow.

Economy, you affect me not!

For I am getting all my good stuff free!

Happy Thursday, ya'll!
