My friend Amy, of 'Maison Decor' is the best...
I tell her all the awful stupid things going on in my life... especially stuff about my kids, who will basically make you want to rip your eyeballs out, and jump off a cliff... and she is always there to understand and listen and she never judges,
she really gets it, and offers support and funny comments
and i totally love her
there is no way to describe what our conversations have meant to me...
When i write to her, i don't hold back, i use all my usual bad words, you know like "those gosh darn kids",
(yeah right)
...it's priceless to have a friend like her...
Anyway, she sent me the most beautiful skirt in the world, and some Rachael Ashwell swatches picked out just for me,
she saved me the pink ones, because she knows i love pink.. Thanks Amy, you know i love this stuff... you're so my dog...
Just look at this skirt, it is so me...
The lining is as pretty as the outside, it is this vintage lavender silk...
i mean, come on... how great is that...
The skirt has 3 layers
in the history of pretty skirts, this one has to be one of the best...
vintage... with 2 layers of tea colored gauziness, and soft silk lavender lining....
then to top it off, she sent me swatches that were probably handled my my hero Rachael Ashwell...
in my favorite colors -
the pinks
she saved those just for me
miles away from me, she went through those swatches and she thought about which ones i would love
and gathered up the pink ones just for me
that's big in my book of love
Here they are resting on the amazing skirt...
everything came in a box, wrapped in tissue, one with sweet light pink ribbon,
and one with this insanely gorgeous pink toile ribbon, and her stunning Maison Decor card... !
kisses to you my friend... you're the best... you know how special your friendship is to me
and, oh yeah, i haven't even told you the lastest ...!
the end
ooooh i'm feelin the love, swatch sista. the skirt is perfection. reminds me of christian dior.

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first met Amy I felt as though we were kindered spirits in the decorating sense. We both love the same things and she shares so many wonderful decorating ideas and secrets. She is very special. You are lucky to have her as your close friend because we all need someone we can vent to. I love the pretty skirt and swatches and they are so you.
hugs
