Land of Nod Goodness
I think you know that I am infatuated with pendant lights. If you didn’t know, let me introduce myself. My name is Jina, and I have an unhealthy affection for pendant light fixtures. (Cue: “Hi Jina” in unison.) Okay… so unknowingly I have passed this addiction on to unsuspecting family members (pawns in my hands). Yes, when decorating my soon-to-come niece’s room, my sister declared that she was set on a stylish pendant light. Needless to say, at that proclamation, the heavens opened up and angels started singing. Now I can’t tell you what they were singing, but I think it was evident by the rays of light shining from their halos that it was in honor of the pendant lamp.
So I have been scouring the internet for the perfect pendant. No sooner than I found this, did my amazing resourceful sister find this… from Land of Nod no less. Why oh why had I not looked there yet! To maintain my internet cred, I will imply that Land of Nod was the next site on my list. But really it’s neither here nor there, right? (The correct answer is, “Right, Jina”… You could be a little more convincing, but I’ll take it.) The point is as soon as my sister clicked “Add to Cart”, my unborn niece instantly became more fashionable in response.
Moving on (quiet on the snarky, under-your-breath comments), I love love love that Land of Nod has a feature where you can shop by room. I mean, look at this one. 
How cute is that for a little girl! Bright colors and fun prints, all while giving this fictional girl a place to mature. No cartoon characters that she might outgrow in a year or two. Yay! I can already see these curtains in Lyla’s room. Plus they look beautiful next to a neutral wall, which may become our reality when we soon move to a rental. We’ll see.
But let’s recap for those of you who found this post a bit longer than your attention span (and I don’t mean that disparaging; I am your equal, and your twin): infatuation, pendant lights, heavens, angels, Land of Nod, unborn niece, shop by room, cartoon characters, Lyla. There you go.

Your posts make me laugh, Jina. Like the whispering “ta da” on your t-shirt post. haha!
I love the La Fleur room because it’s so cute, but also for the name! That was the name of the Lost episode we were watching when we discovered we were pregnant with Violet. Yay for La Fleur!

Jina, you kill me! I’m so sucked right in each time I read one of your posts! You have a calling here I think!
The bedroom La Fleur is too cute! I would love it! I should check it out, since I still haven’t deco’d my room yet!
Violet…what a great name Josie! And thanks for the Lost moment!!
