Painted Antlers...

I bought my first painted antlers probably 2 years ago off of Etsy.  They are just solid silver all over.  Recently, I've been seeing more on Etsy and as you've seen on my shop decided to paint some of my own...

 

 

 

I've been trying to get my hands on more because I love painting them.  Then I got a message from a girl on Etsy asking what I use for paints and that she hears "they are the next big thing..." UM OK.  Well HERE YOU HAVE IT...IN ANTHROPOLOGIE...AND THEY ARE CHARGING $98!!!

I need to get more antlers!!!

Anthro Kids

Anthropologie has adorable kids stuff!  I think they've just added it fairly recently but who knows.  Here are some of my FAVs!

They have cute books, which I'm sure you can find anywhere but while I was doing some online Christmas shopping I picked up these two for Baby B...easier for me to order things these days than have to venture out in the cold with the little man...

I know he's not ready for the concepts and lessons yet, but its still fun to read to him and he'll like the bright colors.  In the future, I'll also be picking up this one...our boy will know how to open the door for a lady, just like his Daddy!

 

Anthro has fun and educational kids things, which I like.  They have lots of flashcard sets, but I really like these Charley Harper Flash Cards And Floor Puzzles.

They have some original and really cute stuffed animals.  I LOVE giraffe stuff for kids so I fell in love with this little guy, the Standout Giraffe...

 

I also love the Giraffe Hand Puppet and Monkey Hand Puppet...

I know you can get Alphabet Blocks virtually anywhere, but I love the vintagey look of these ones...

Bentley hasn't started solids quite yet - we were actually going to give it a whirl this week but he's got a little stomach bug so I'm going to wait until next week I think - but this plate and bowl were so cute I HAD to get them for Christmas.  The Yearning-For-Learning set is so cute because it's also educational ~ with animals, letters, and numbers on them (and they are microwave/dishwasher safe!)...

Have fun shopping for your little ones!

Local Anthro Pics...

I realize the picture quality below is AWFUL, but please forgive me as I do not have one of those "smart phones."  In fact, when my hubby went to Verizon to upgrade himself to the Droid the salesperson asked if he wanted to upgrade to a smart phone for his wife as well, since I was due for a new phone.  He nicely declined and replied that I am all set with my "dumb phone."  So, excuse the crummy pictures from my "dumb phone" but here are a few of the pics I was able to snap of my local Anthropologie's holiday display.  Hopefully you can get the gist of it...

And here is the cool handmade chandelier I was telling you about...

Today I spent my afternoon on the front porch starting to create my own organic winter forest.  A few days ago I picked up some reasonably priced trees at Target, and then hit Jo-Ann Fabrics for LOTS of burlap and some jute.  I need a few more odds and ends so hopefully tomorrow Bentley and I will go for a ride out to get what I need to finish up before it gets too cold!  I will take some preview pics and share soon!

Enjoy your Sunday evening!

Anthropologie...AGAIN...

OK, I know I've overdone it on Anthro this week but when I hit the store on Monday I saw so many incredible goodies I want!  Surprise, surprise...I'm always wanting something!  And then when I got home the newest catalog was in my mailbox...FANCY THAT!  Some of my favs in the latest catalog...as usual I'm obsessing over the home decor...

This Brava Throw is amazing...I LOVE me some texture...in gray or chartreuse (I could find a place for one of each!):

The Horned Beauty Bottle Opener is rustic & cool:

And so is the Branch Bit Stopper:

Love the Boreal Barstool - if I only had a bar in a cabin somewhere I can envision it with an amazing antler chandelier:

These two sheet sets are pretty & earthy, too - the first is Falling Leaves and the second is Wakeful Ikat:

I LOVE THIS TABLE!!!  I'm a sucker for rustic, handmade-looking tables like this Plank House Coffee Table:

And if I had the need to drop $600 on a jewelry box, it would be this Quartz Jewelry Box:

I think this candle holder is amazing! Not cheap but this Rustic Romp Taper Holder would look fabbbbulous on my big oak dining table:

And last but nto least, I don't need a journal but the fabric is gorgeous on this Wanderlust Ikat Journal:

Most of these things I either have no practical use (or place) for right now, or no money for because they are so expensive...but a girl can dream!  Coming up I'll show you some of their adorable children's stuff and cool holiday decor as well.  Happy shopping!
