I love Anthropologie

These latte bowls hold just the right amount of my favorite winter squash soup–curried butternut or a serving of blackberry ice cream. Found them on sale at Anthropologie (6 for $18 including shipping). I love how the receipt is folded into the little cloth bag… And the bowls came covered in fanciful tissue paper as if they were a gift… even though I paid for them. Now I just need to replace my old chipped plates and other dishes that Brian took with him to college… If you have any affordable suggestions, please post…


Pantone color of the Year for 2010: Turquoise

My favorite color is being honored this year by Pantone. I love it in all it’s shades and variations from aqua to sea glass. Turquoise is sprinkled all over my house in vases, dishes, jewelry, clothing, bedding..you name it…I like it best in small doses paired with a neutral color like tan, cream or white. Here are a few of my favorites from my home…ok, more than a few…
