Christmas Vest

I took these photos on one of several unfruitful shopping trips in search of window treatments.
I wonder how their buy one get one free sale went?  If no one wanted to own ONE, I’m not sure why owning TWO would be a good thing.

I Don’t Feel Like It

Today is Fight the Frump with Fussy day. I’ve tried to get motivated to fight it this week – to no avail.
