A bargain can be so exciting!

Ever since I saw this picture in the Pottery Barn catalog, I knew it was going to be the inspiration for our guest room:


I especially love the quilt, simple and elegant. The Olivia Silk Nesting Quilt. I even visited it over the summer. It feels incredible, and looks so pretty. It seems like the perfect thing to cuddle under after you've spent 8 hours on an airplane to come visit us.

When we were home at Christmas, Joern and I spent some time looking in Westport's Pottery Barn. I was disappointed that the Olivia Quilt had been taken off the showroom bed, which signaled to me that it had been discontinued. As I looked through all the shelves, I found the last Olivia Quilt, in ivory, in the right size. And, it was on sale! They also had the matching Euro pillow covers (Euro pillows are a must on all Roesner beds,) on sale again! I was so proud and excited with my bargain!

Imagine my surprise when looking through the website for the ten-millionth time since going on sick leave, I found that they're re-introduced the Olivia. And it is WAY more than I paid! I can't wait to have our house, to put Olivia on the guest bed. I know she'll be beautiful there, and keep our guests happy and comfy!
