For some reason, I have really been into bees lately. More specifically, the bee motif.  I’ve been stung enough to know that these little winged creatures are best admired from a distance or when they’re serving as inspiration for a crafty project. There is just something about Apis Melifea  that makes a really striking theme.  Several years ago, Restoration Hardware featured embroidered bees on a number of there bath towels and linen sets. We scored a king size duvet and sham in a champagne color with white bees emblazoned on it.

I love this set and am loathe to part with it even though the sun has pretty much faded it into a ombre facsimile of what it once was.  SN: What drives me nuts is that this is such a popular set and yet, RH discontinued it and has no plans of bring it back. Believe me, I’ve checked in the stores. Numerous times. Had I known that it would be discontinued, would I have at least closed the curtains to protect it from fading? Maybe a couple of times, but this is a girl who throws hand wash only items in a laundry bag on the gentle cycle and crosses her fingers.

Anywhoodle, I’m really into bees and am thinking that’s going to be the theme for #3.  Morgan had giraffes, Coever had. . .um. . .oh yeah, pickles and ice cream, so it’s only fair that Trip (short for Triple) has his/her own banner.  Thankfully, there is quite a bit of bee stuff out there; of course, most of what I’m looking at is with me in mind.  I mean, I’m the Queen Bee around here. . .(sorry, I couldn’t resist).
