At Home


Spring Cleaning

Every year I switch out clothes and curtains as the season changes. This year, I realized that my light sheers for warm weather had gone the way of The Dodo....extinct, that is. Hmm. Oh yeah! I had totally thrown them out after many years of faithful service. A college housemate from art school made them for me—they were that old.

Lo and behold, Kohl's pulled me in with one of their handy promotional emails, and there it was. Gorgeous sheer curtains on sale during their BOGO period of buy one get one free. I'm not sure if a child in Cambodia slaved in a sweatshop to stitch these by hand for 10 cents an hour, but given the level of craftsmanship, I highly doubt it. They look perfect, and they make me happy every time I look at them. What. A. Bargain.
