Waverly World

You know when you think (but aren’t absolutely certain) that you want something (fabric in the case of today) and you jet off to the store (Forsyth Fabrics – more on that mecca tomorrow, perhaps) to decide for sure and then you end up not being able to get it (because they sold out the DAY before) and you become absolutely postively dead set that you MUST OWN THAT FABRIC (even though you went into the store not nearly certain)?

Well, that happened to me yesterday.  And it could only be reordered for thirty-six dollars per yard (as opposed to the original tag price of under seventeen.)  Gasp.  On leaving the store, I spent hours (on a rare little free day) scouring the internet, determined to move mountains and earth, to make it mine.  Seeing as this particular choice is a Waverly fabric, I obviously (and quite quickly) found myself on the Waverly website.  And, fabric hunt aside, their new “Waverly World” marketing campaign just blew my skirt up. 

The laundry room is on my list of spaces to tackle.  I die at the thought of washing sweaty undies and soiled shirts in one of these gems.  Seriously.

And I can all but see myself rolling one of these out to my curb on Monday mornings in a Lilly shift.  I mean, I’d actually sign up to take the trash out for the first time in ten years if this was my herby curby.  Hear that, Honey?

Bills just wouldn’t seem so bad when coming out of one of these boxes.  And packages and present packages would be all the more delightful.  Though, I’m sure Miss J would have a little somethin’ somethin’ to say about that.

From a girl that studied marketing once upon a time, I must give Waverly an A-plus on this effort.  L.O.V.E.

PS. If you’re wondering about how I fared in my search, I did end up purchasing the seven yards I need on-line with free shipping and no tax. Oh happy day!

PPS. I did show Honey the Waverly herby curby and he absolutely positively said he will not under any circumstances help me paint our can.  He went so far as to say I would probably be arrested for vandilizing Waste Management’s property if I go through with this inane plan.  Can you say “party pooper”?

  1. Your P.S. absolutely made me laugh. Thanks for the great start on (another) rainy Friday morning.

  2. Well, we are not in the city limits so we do not qualify for the beaming yellow lid trashcan and in one neighborhood I observed an all pink trashcan…that made my mind wonder, because I need some pattern or color to offset my dreadful pajamas when I roll it out…thanks for the inspiration, I may just make a phonecall to the local sanitation department…and seek their blessing :)

  3. ummmm…i think you'd be the talk of Waste Management with a herbie like that. Maybe Honey will compromise and be ok a big vinyl monogram on the can?
