No need to write your Congressman - The Wool Acorn is on ArtFire.com

After a few requests and a bit of urging, I started adding some of my work to ArtFire.com!  Here's a link, check it out... let me know if you're looking for other colors that I haven't added to the site.  I've got a rainbow in wool.

In love with Pinterest

Have you tried it yet?  Pinterest is a very cool (somewhat new) site that let's you "pin" images that you like from all over the internet.  You can make a collection (called a "board") of anything from outfits to ottomans to party ideas.  You can also choose to follow the boards of people that have a style you like and browse through the pins and boards they've created.  Of course, just random searching is fun, too.  You do need an invitation to join the site but it's completely free... and there's no benefit to the person who sends you the invitation... so let me know if you would like one and I'll send it right out.  Just send me your email address!  You can find me at TheWoolAcorn @ gmail . com (take out those spaces).

Royal Wedding Playlist

Prince William and Kate Middleton are getting married on Friday.  Of course, I made a playlist on iTunes.  People all over the world, join hands, start a love train.... marry me Bill, I love you so, I always will... oh my mama loves me, she loves me, loves me like a rock.  You get the idea.

  1. Wedding Bell Blues - The 5th Dimension:  Marry me Bill, I love you so, I always will
  2. To Sir With Love - The Glee Cast:  Those school girl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone
  3. Love Train - The O'Jays:  People all over the world, join hands, start a love train.  The next stop that we make will be England
  4. Lovely Day - Bill Withers:  Then I look at you and the world's alright with me
  5. Love Me Do - The Beatles:  Love, love me do, you know I love you
  6. Don't Pull Your Love - Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds:  Take my heart, my soul, my money, but don't leave me drowning in my tears
  7. Marry You - The Glee Cast:  It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
  8. This Guy's in Love with You - Donny Osmond:  I need your love, I want your love, say you're in love, in love with this guy.  If not, I'll just die
  9. Loves Me Like a Rock - Paul Simon:  Oh my mama loves me, she loves me... she'd get down on her knees and hug me
  10. Love My Way - The Psychadelic Furs:  It's a new road, I found love.  I follow where my mind goes
  11. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz:  But I won't hesitate no more
  12. I Love You 5 - Never Shout Never:  I love you one, two, three shooby-doo, I love you four that's more than I can afford
  13. Happy Together - The Turtles:  Imagine me and you, I do.  I think about you day and night, it's only right
  14. The Look of Love - Dusty Springfield:  The look of love, is in your eyes.... a look your smile can't disguise
  15. This Will Be (an Everlasting Love) - Natalie Cole:  This will be an everlasting love, the one I've waited for

Beautiful outdoor spaces

We are lucky here in the Boston area to have a magnificent shop providing great outdoor space inspiration.  Winston Flowers is known for modern design and impeccable taste.  A Buddha head sculpture in the garden is striking!  Here's a peak:

What's new from Thomas Paul?

Thomas Paul is one of my favorites and I'm still determined to get my hands on the Octopus Shower Curtain - it's the inspiration for my complete bathroom update!  But I just got an email from Design Public {love} and they've got new Thomas Paul goodies.  Of course, I had to check it out and here's a glimpse:

At the door and a big amount of magical

Doors that are flooded with light are a big amount of magical.  I want a fabulous door.  Where should I start?  Maybe not Home Depot.
