Anthropologie

I finally had a look at the Australian Anthropologie site and did a bit of window shopping. I haven't looked at what is available in the US and I have only browsed the homewares section so far but I did find a lot of lovely things. Here are some of my favourites.
Valentine in a Bottle
Spoons Soap (too pretty to use though I would just leave it on display, all wrapped up)
Scales
Mercury Candle
Letter Stands
Herb Pot
Flower Twig Pencil
Cocktail Spoons
Bottle Opener
Could always do with some more books!
I am sure I would be more interested in baking if I had these cute aprons to wear.
I won't be buying any of these things, I am going to have to be satisfied with window shopping for now (trying to save money so I can retire.....), however Mothers Day is just around the corner and those aprons are really quite practical! How about you, do you have a wish list?
I have come up with a few ideas for my first giveaway, so stay tuned as I will announce it in the next few days. I am so excited I hope you like it!

  12. I haven't yet been to the one in Toronto, but did visit when I was in Miami. I found some gorgeous cups with flwers painted on and little ceramic flowers on the handles. They are my Spring tea cups. I aslo picked up a butter dish for my daughter. it was very vintage inspired and she is getting into that in her new place. I loved the pillows they had and of course the clothes.

  13. OMG!!
    I can not believe what I see!!!!!
    Great minds think alike...

    As you know I am in the middle of a kitchen renovation (or shoud I say complete re-do), and black and white are the base colors.
    Well, truthfully, my husband is the chef in our house, and as a surprise for when the kitchen is done I have bought him a black apron. (don't worry, he'll never read this, so I'm safe!).
    I figured that if I was asked to helpin the kitchen (highly unlikely), the least I could do was to look cute and pretty, so I picked up apron number 2; ruffles, polkadots and all....

    I'll let you know how it all turns out, sorry to be rambling.

    Happy weekend,
    Northen Light

    Cheers~
