Sittin' up in my room ...

More peeks into my room:

Sparkly "Dream" hanging from Paper Source

Bathing Beauties canvases from a now-closed store in Maplewood,
Elizabeth House, hang over my bed
I go this at a little boutique in Chicago, Francesca's in Lincoln Park.

I have a few posters on the back of my door,
this one signed by Brandi Carlile last year at the Pageant.

This key with hooks is also from Francesca's in Chicago ... all my necklaces are hanging from it. Just got those yummy red beads at Dress Barn, believe it or not!

Happy Monday! luv, em
