Lovelies! I have separation anxiety from not seeing you the last two days. Tragic! Today, we are talking about my newest obsession, tortoise shell. Remember the fable of the tortoise and the hare? And the life lesson that was being reiterated by steadiness and perseverance actually wins in the end as opposed to hastiness? Well, the tortoise actually wins in my book because he is better dressed. He wore it best. Let's face it. I am not sure that I care how the tortoise shell is displayed. On a table, on a wall, on your body, in a car...okay, maybe that was overboard but you catch my drift. I love it anywhere, and anytime. It is such a classic pattern that has stood the test of time.

So what say you? You need it in your life yet like moi? Someone please buy some of this stuff out so I can resist my undying temptation to incorporate yet more tortoise into our home. Get you some tortoise.
I love it all darling. Such a neccesary staple!
ReplyDeletethese were all very inspiring images. I agree...tortoise is very elegant. I really like for a console table, mirror, and side table. I pinned a whole bunch of these for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThat bar with the turtoise shell over it is one of my all time favorites. Also really digging the tortoise ice bucket. Great round up girl. Now I am off to spend money I don't have looking for tortoise shell anything.
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! Love your opening!!! Think I love the bar pic the best. Not sure if its because of the fabulous shell or just because its a picture of lots of alcohol.
ReplyDeleteYep. Makes me gaga, too.
ReplyDeleteProblem is, I always want the 'spensive stuff :(
