Weekly catch-up...

Daily, I think not, weekly...maybe so.

Monday Muse:
A food blog, The Tomato Tart, has organized a virtual bakesale with the proceeds going to support Sec­ond Har­vest Japan, that nation’s first food bank. How amazing is this blogger?!?! Something that started as her own project to help those in the earthquake and now it has blossomed into something with more than 90 people participating all over the world! The kindness of strangers can be truly inspiring. Purchase your goods on March 30th!
Tuesday Travel:
Let's go to the Pantone Hotel in Brussels. Wouldn't it be fun to request a specific color room. Today I would ask for PMS 397C.
Wednesday Wish:
I wish Phoenix always smelled like orange blossoms. That and the 75-degree weather we had all weekend makes it worthwhile to live in this desert.
Thursday Tidbit:
I heart these garlands and they will instantly brighten your day.
Friday Fashion:
Debating on getting this swimsuit. Such a cute vintage cut

Friday Fashion

I just received the latest Anthropologie catalog (one of my favorite things to receive in the mail) and there are some very pretty things! My two favorite, I-must-have items are this fabulous pair of Braided Basket Pumps and Elegant Angles Bag. Birthday next month? I think so.

Wishing and hoping...

I could have some of these playful plates from Anthropologie. Love how they are like paper plates yet are stoneware. Designed by Judy Jackson.

Wishing I had a HUGE porch

How wonderful are all of these delightful things found in the newest Anthropologie catalog?!?

These lawn chairs in so many bright colors.

This crazy curvy chair that makes me want to be in Alice in Wonderland.

Aaand this lovely garden bench that I wish I had.

Oh Anthropologie!

How I love thee. Isn't this chair just divine?!? I would give anything right now to be sitting in it on a beach with a fruity drink....that is going to be my Wednesday wish.

(P.S. I think this is a great new thing I might start...Wednesday wishes. What would be yours?)

New shoe obsessions

I have a pair of TOMS and they are super comfortable but I saw these ones and fell in love. How perfect are they for winter! The Cordones are wool or canvas uppers, arch support, great colors, laces, rubber sole...I must have a pair but I cannot decide which one. Hmmmm.


For something a little more fancy I spotted these fabulous Black Magic Heels at Anthropologie. They look so sassy and comfortable. Too bad they are running a little low on sizes, otherwise I would be very tempted.

BINGO!

What a great gift idea for the holidays....a bingo set! My eyes are especially drawn to the old fashioned ones. Can you imagine getting one of these Christmas day and then playing with you family? What a hoot! My favorites are below.


Deluxe 7 inch Metal Fram Cage Wooden Bingo Game set and the Front Porch Classics State Fair Bingo both from Amazon. And then for those who want to get a little more fancy there is the adorable set from Anthropologie...to die for! I hope I get one for Christmas.

New favorite necklace.

As I am a collector of A's it is no surprise that I just had to have one of these necklaces. They are simply lovely. I love their sparkle! It immediately caught my eye when I was last in Anthropologie and I am so happy with my purchase. It's a perfect length and goes with everything. I suggest you go get one.

Christmas is coming!

Christmas is the best time of the year and one of the things I look forward to the most is when Anthropologie puts out their ornaments. Check out some of my favorites.

I love shopping at Anthropologie! I mostly window shop, but it is a fabulous place to shop for unique Women's clothing, accessories, and home décor… and often inspiration for some of my own creations.
