This pattern reminds me of a book I had as a child, with green line drawings of country scenes. I think it is downstairs on the bookshelf with the rest of my childhood books.

When I saw this Waverly fabric recently I felt a strong sense of recognition. It seemed so familiar and comforting to me. I kept thinking about it and finally decided to order a new comforter set in this pattern. It arrived today and I am very happy with it. I know it's crazy to have a white bedspread in a house with a black cat, but I really love this pattern.

I made up the bed immediately so I could see how it looked. Now I want to paint the bedroom walls green. (If we do, it will be our third green room. Once the downstairs bathroom is finished, that is.)

My old comforter was also green. I had been sleeping under it since, oh, high school. That's only 16 years ago now. It was time for a change.

Well, off to bed.
