About this time of year, the stripes start to send signals...
...that spring is coming!
I love a touch of nautical in my wardrobe, but I've always been a bit of sucker for it in my home too. Remember this post?
Last fall, I went to the Brimfield Antique Show with my friend Cheri, and I fell in love with this guy...
Cheri didn't get my crush on him, and frankly, I couldn't explain it. I just knew I had to have him. It's not like I come from a family of sea captains, or grew up in Gloucester, or particularly like Salty Dogs, but I loved the idea of looking at his grumpy eyes every day. So now he lives in my downstairs bathroom, freaking the crap out of people when they walk down the hall.
A touch of nautical? It makes my captain feel right at home.
