[Hoosiervillager]

Chelsea and Gracie, I would love to see your homes. They both sound gorgeous! I also sew. I have fabric samples all over my dining room table. I'll make the bed skirts, window toppers, and pillows. I'm also a shopper. That's why so many different coverlets. Still trying to talk myself into the ones that were the best deal but will probably go with my heart and choose the ones I love even though they cost twice as much. (Even then, I did use a Bed, Bath & Beyond 20% off coupon.) My DH, the normally frugal one, has told me to get what I want. He keeps reminding me that in the grand scheme of things the difference in cost is not that much.

I will probably hold off on some of my selections until our first visit in two weeks. I feel like I need to select the sofa first. That should give me an idea of where I'm finally headed on the style and colors of this villa. We'll go home mid August and return mid September. I'll sew like a mad woman for those weeks. And shop some more! I really want to get this pulled together by early October as we have friends coming to visit that are really interested in The Villages. I want them to see how cute a little villa can be.

We get to TV on 7/29 and will be staying at the Comfort Suites before our closing the next day. I think a shopping trip to SL is in order for Tuesday evening! I'm really hoping I'll see something that I just fall in love with that will pull together all these ideas I have in my head.
