Strike Two!

Hello!  

Is it the weekend yet 

because I really need to sleep in!  

I feel like I have been going 

and going and going. 

My post title is Strike Two... 

If you read yesterday's post 

I talked about not really liking 

my blue and white dishes 

in the black dish cupboard...  

Well, Strike Two came about last night.   

I told you Mr. Beaux was going away 

for the weekend right?  

Well, last night he was doing some things 

around the house for me before he left.  

One of the things on the list 

was to help me put on the new bed-skirt 

that I had ordered from One King's Lane. 

It had come in the mail while I was away.  

One King's Lane

 I was really excited when I saw 

it a few weeks ago online.  

It is the same fabric as my curtains 

and pillow shams that I sewed.  

I thought it would be the perfect finishing 

touch to the whole room...

YIKES!!!  

It's nothing like the photo online.  

It's very seafoam green 

not the pretty soft shades of blues 

that I thought it would be...  

We put the bed back together last night 

and I thought that maybe I just needed 

to get everything on the bed 

before I made a final judgement.  

I know that it is hard to tell for sure 

by these pictures, but every time 

I walk in the room I cringe!  

I didn't even bother to iron it 

because I knew I would be sending it back!  

Of course in the photos 

it looks like it's the perfect match.  

Maybe I can Photoshop it in real life?  

UGH!  

I am not even sure if I can return it.  

It might have been final sale!  

I will have to call and plead my case 

to the wonderful customer service reps 

they have working for them.  

Well, thank goodness everything else 

in life is going well!  

Miss Beaux and I have big plans 

for the weekend that involve 

homemade ice cream!  

Now that makes everything better doesn't it?  

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
