Anthropologie: the magazine


This morning I received an email from Anthropologie announcing their new magazine. If you've been reading for a while you'll know my love for this store runs deep, and the thought of an entire magazine full of artisan goodness had me giddy. Turns out it's really more of a blog, with several stories linked up on one page. That's okay, I'll take it :)






 The Palm Springs story is aces, featuring the work of Albert Frey and Richard Neutra, and the resulting photography from the trip became part of the photo print collection.







There's also snaps on pinterest, if you'd care to see them. I'm heading over to revel in re-pinning. Yes, I said re-pinning. The post about Pinterest got some really lively commentary going, which I loved. One blogger even sent me a comment in private, because she thought that me may get sandbagged for her views. First she fells that we are shirking our responsibility a little, pinning merrily away, without ensuring credit is being given to the owner of the content. Second, she fells once an image is out there, it's out there. Personally, I'm all done wavering about Pinterest. I will try to be respectful and link back to original sources, I will begin watermarking my own photos to make it easier for others to do the same, and I will enjoy the plethora of visual beauty. Hopefully we can make it work without losing the the essence of the site, because it's such a wonderful concept.

On that note :) Happy Easter, loves! I must have been tired last night, because when we got home from grocery shopping I realized a few dozen Peeps had hitched a ride, lol! Chocolate dipped and be-sprinkled Peeps and cupcakes topped with the marshmallow creatures are a tradition around here, so I guess that's what Miss N. and Miss C. will be doing today! We are only hosting one small dinner this year, and travelling for the other two. A very relaxed weekend lies ahead... you? Hope your holiday is full of love and laughter - x




lightening love


Have you been to Anthro in the past few days?
They've lost the paper header, and sharpened up their graphics.
A little less shabby vintage and little more graphic.

I feel like the return to eighties edge is upon us.

Case in point, these one-of-a-kind quilts by Fred Shand,
(on sale now for just $750.00!!)
that have that perfect anthro balance of kitsch, artistry and 80's vintage.








Ever since I first saw them I've been dreaming of the bedroom I would put one in,
particularly this one...







it would work quite nicely with the anthro campaign bed that they style it up on,
but what else?

Perhaps a shagreen wallpaper, 
a lush overdyed carpet,
hits of black,
and a wee bit of sparkle and shine?








Lightening Love.









New **SWOON** from Anthro!





Honestly, how am I supposed to get anything done
 with emails like this popping up in my in box?!!







I am in love with this collection already.

Check out the Cherry Blossom Chandelier... I need this. Really. I do.





ps. don't know if you've found this yet, 
but those clever temptresses over at Anthro have given us another reason to pop in -
a fab little decorating guide built into their site...








Telling a Cutlery Story..

I know I have a problem with Anthropologie.

The reason I love this store so
is because they aren't selling trends as much as
 treasures.

When I was young and broke and a hopeless optimist 
I had many friends and often threw informal, spur-of-the-moment soirees.
I had the style of a gypsy and everything was colorful and mismatched,
but somehow it all worked anyhow.



Cutlery was no exception.
The patina of old silver is too beautiful to resist and 
quite a collection of flea market bundles found their way home..
Meaning no two were the same :)

A roommate inherited this when I went adventuring 
but every so often when setting the table I find myself wishing for those odd forks and spoons..

so am delighted to see this over at Anthropologie:


"antique and vintage delightfully mismatched sets of five"
"each place setting is completely unique"




see? They GET it.



Is It Too Early For Spring Fever?!

see our road trip video and shop 16 new looks


Is it not enough that you present us with must-have-drool-worthy clothing and home goods each season?
Must you also tempt us with this little sliver of spring goodness?

I need an airstream trailer.
Pronto.



Anthropologie Hits the Tropics

Haven't posted anything from Anthropologie in a while, have been trying to restrain myself!
But these are too good not to share :)

Every spring we take off to Florida for a couple weeks with the kiddies.
 The countdown begins in the dark, cold days of January and gets us through till March.
21 days...

But Anthropologie is offering a wonderful bit of escapism for your home.

Tropical, without the neon hibiscus flowers. A little spring for your space.

How about this Amlapura bedding to warm things up?


The Terai folding chair has a handmade vibe




Embrace your inner hippie with the Ocean Swell curtains  (I have tiedye cutains in my guest room!!)




The Bimini Pendant's natural texture brings interest to your space




Just need to perk up your furniture a bit? I'm always impressed by the furniture makeovers at Better After. D. is always teasing me about wanting to bring home abandoned furniture, there is something so sad about great old pieces getting kicked to the curb after years of service...

Chirping Parakeets Knobs


How about we end off with a couple of "I wish I was there right now" rooms?
