Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Paisley & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #199
It is almost time again for the next edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! For December, Nancy and I have chosen Paisley as the theme! I have been seeing lots of fabulous paisley prints recently and I couldn’t be happier. It is a print that always makes me smile. So won’t you join us this month with your favorite (or least favorite) paisley things and be featured alongside some of the most stylish bloggers in all of blogland!
What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?
It is a monthly series that Nancy and I both publish on our blogs on the 15th of each month. Anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a short description explaining if the item was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to. We will give you the theme for the next month in each post. Photos will be due to us by the 10th of the month. So please join us for December by sending us some photos of your favorite (or least favorite) Paisley things with a brief description as to why you love or hate them!
I have recently shared a few paisley items that I am loving but I am going to have a dig through my blogging archives and see what other paisley gems I can find in my own personal collection.

Do I have any paisley, that is the question! Love all the variety that exists: you show how different it can be.

I bet you have something paisley hiding somewhere, Mireille! Check your scarves and such, too. I have a bunch of scarves with paisley prints that I didn’t even realize.

I love the paisley print and don’t know that I have anything paisley in my closet. Love all of this inspiration! Your poncho is fabulous!

Thanks so much, Jill! I feel like paisley is one of those prints that we sometimes don’t even realize we have! I bet you have a scarf or something with a paisley or two on it!

Looking so very nice paisley. And I guess I will not be joining this one as I don’t own anything in paisley. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.

Thanks so much, Patrick! You should have joined us last month with jeans!

Wow paisley, such an oldie but goodie! I probably have something paisley in my closet somewhere…

I just love it, Nora! Hopefully, you can find something and join us this month! I find it more often on scarves, so check your scarves! Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous week!

Oh you’ll never catch me saying no to paisley- I find it so creative and love that pattern so so much. Guess you’ll be receiving an email from me! Shelbee you have so much Paisley!! And it’s dawned on me that this might be one of the reasons I’m always in love with what you style:) xx
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Gah, thanks so much, Lucy! I cannot wait to see what brilliant paisley styles you send in to us for this month! Send two so you can be featured on both blogs!

I think a hellava day was in the ether yesterday….. but as Scarlett O’Hara said: “tomorrow is another day” xxxx
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks, Ratnamurti! I have used Scarlett O’Hara’s words in the past to justify my leaving things alone until tomorrow! She might have been a very silly girl, but she did have some words of wisdom!

I don’t believe I have any paisley in my closet, but oh gosh do I love that paisley poncho and the pops of burgundy you paired with it! Just gorgeous! And, I need those burgundy boots!

Thanks so much, Carrie! The paisley poncho is one of my favorites and I definitely don’t wear it as often as I should! I bet you have a scarf or something with paisleys on it!

Oh, I love paisley!! Such a throwback to the 70s and 80s! Those paisley boots are stunning. Love the poncho and all the rest! I’ll have to do a search through my closet! I did send Nancy a photo last month but she didn’t include it–must be LOTS of ladies participating!! Lol! Happy Tuesday, Shelbee!
xx Darlene
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Oh no, Darlene, we must have somehow missed your photo last month! I am so sorry! If that ever happens again, email one of us right away and we will correct it! But definitely send us some paisley things and I will make sure they are not forgotten…like paisley…I feel like it is a forgotten print and needs some loving attention!

I don’t think I have anything paisley!

I feel like paisley is like a forgotten print, Tamar. I find it hidden on things like scarves and kimonos more than other clothing pieces. Thanks for stopping by!

I’m so impressed with all the paisley you have in your closet! I think I’ve slowly donated all of mine over the years. That black dress is super cute on you!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Laura! It is such a fun print. I can’t get enough!

Rena
Oddly, I don’t have much (if any) paisley in my wardrobe. I think it’s because The Husband doesn’t like the pattern for some odd reason so I tend to stay away from it. The search is on because I’m sure that I must have a piece or two.
Rena

I have found a lot of paisley in my scarf collection, Rena. You should check out your scarves first! My husband doesn’t like plaid but he doesn’t mind it on me. He just doesn’t like it for himself because his mother made him wear plaid shirts as a young boy. LOL.
