Chance Encounters at West Elm

On a whim I went to West Elm in Dallas, which I'm sure will be the first of many visits to come.  Their bath related goods have been sparse to non-existent for quite awhile, but fear not, they recently unveiled their Spring 2011 bath line.


Shower curtains--yep, they've got them:

 All white ruffle shower curtains seem to be all the rage, they sure are popping up everywhere.

I fell in love with the striped shower curtain. 

It comes in yellow, blue, and gray (not pictured on website).  So the answer here ended up being none of the above.  Predictably, I chose the gray and white striped shower curtain.


But it doesn't end there...


Some more of my favorite new bath products:

And graphic bath mats including a moorish/quatrefoil inspired pattern and chevron:

I couldn't resist and came home with a couple of these too.


In addition, I had my first blog encounter.  After falling in love with reading lifestyle blogs and deciding to start my own, this was my first non-virtual meeting.  I happened to spot the fabulous blogger, Kelly,  who writes the aptly named blog: Fabulous K.  She is incredibly sweet and talented, and we ended up meeting out for drinks!
