 For the Love of Pottery Barn

I once told my husband I would get a job at Pottery Barn for the employee discount alone. He immediately vetoed this idea because he knows that I would never, EVER make any money working at Pottery Barn.

I had to agree that I would definitely outspend my earnings if I was going to that den of decorating temptation every-single-day.

I can’t help it, I just adore Pottery Barn’s seasonal decor items.

Seriously, it’s love. They might make a few missteps, but I could always be FORCED to find something to order…

Valentine Decor

I recently clicked over to the Pottery Barn site to check out their holiday offerings and their Valentines décor had me drooling.

These adorable Valentine Tea Towels can be used as a placement, a napkin, or as a gift basket liner.

They are SOOOOOO adorable!

Isn’t it just the sweetest little Valentines decoration?

 …. then I looked at the price and choked a little bit, $14 seems a bit steep for ONE cotton flour sac towel with an easy applique.

I Can Make That!

My next thought? I could make that without even using my sewing machine!

Then my mind began to whirl!

I remembered seeing a similar flour sack towel at Ikea so I took a little road trip and came home with these adorable Tekla towels for just $0.59 each.
