If you've been following BNOTP for a while, you may remember approximately 3 years ago I set up these cabinets in my garage so I could corral all my dishes into one place instead of having them spread out over several cabinets/closets.

A few weeks ago I shared a shocking discovery. I looked down and found lots of tiny holes in one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer shirts. I had no idea what had caused them, but it prompted me to look at my other Lilly Pulitzer Etta shirts. They alllll had holes--every last one of them!
