a swatch of a different color

you might remember that i posted about the prettiest little crossword books ever a while back, saying that i'd love to upholster things in the bold, showy floral print you see above. well thanks to a lovely reader who sent me this link, i can! look how pretty!

here are some of my favorites from the site (thank you to reader M.E. for introducing me to this fab site!):

i want a pillow in every single one, all on a white bed. you too?
