(What is this? Here’s a quick explanation of More to Love: A to Z, 26 Days of Alphabetic Inspiration.)
There are so many great adjectives beginning with the letter L: lovely, lively, luscious, lucky, little… the list is long. However, the two words that I find most inspiring are both nouns, and both seem a little mysterious.
L is for Lace
Do you like lace? I find that it can go either way – too much and it feels like you’ve wrapped yourself in your grandmother’s table cloth. However, the right amount can create such interest on a garment. It’s not a trim that I use very often, but every time I pick up an Anthropologie catalog, I think that might be an error on my part. I might need more lace in my life.
I definitely need more of this next one.
L is for Leprechauns
Rainbows, clovers, pots of gold, shiny shoes. Plus it’s just fun to say: leprechaun. You can hardly say it without a little lilt in your voice.
This leprechaun below is from The Small Object, and was one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received.
I know leprechauns are often relegated to St. Patrick’s day only, and they are often depicted as beer-drinking red-headed mischief makers. However, I like to have a little bit of clover-magic out on my desk year round. Just in case they’d like to leave me some leprechaun gold.
Any other L’s you love?

Care to comment? Go for it. Be bold. Do it! But niceness counts, right?
I like lace :) I think it’s been used for so long on lingerie that when it’s on a dress it instantly reminds the mind of lingerie. Perfect for a night out w/ the hubby!…. although I fail to own any dresses with lace :( guess I know what my next purchase will be – lol!
