About a year ago I became very enamored with the houndstooth pattern. I had two big beautiful wing chairs that I thought would look stunning in an oversized houndstooth pattern but not in the traditional white and black.
Getting the right fabric content in the right size pattern and the right color just was not happening, but I kept looking.
You are so aware of it that you start seeing it in places you might never have noticed before. Purses...
Bedding and pillows jumped on the bandwagon.
But slowly that huge desire I had for houndstooth began to fade. Maybe that's a good thing. It might just open my eyes to something new and wonderful. And if the urge strikes me again, I'll just remember this post and this picture.
I wanted fuchsia and soft white.
You know how it goes when you have your mind on something in particular.
hats, scarfs, gloves and ...
SHOES.
Accessorizing with houndstooth was getting popular, or so it seemed.
There was the rain gear.
And of course the jackets, coats, skirts, etc. for women.
Although not recommended to be worn all at the same time.
I saw many tastefully executed garments and accessories ...
OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS!
Then I started seeing it other places too.
Nail polish wanted a chance in the spotlight.
Adn then the Marthas of the world grabbed their share with cupcake liners, napkins, aprons, napkin rings, and even...
COOKIES
Home interiors was where this all started for me so...
A piece of furniture didn't startle me too much. Lampshades and rugs were part of that package too. But this took the cake.
I'm just goofy enough to put this in my driveway.

That should give me pause.
