As I said a few days ago, at this time of year, the normal rules of good tastes can be (slightly) suspended and you can have a bit more fun - anything to relieve the dark, dreary days. While I wouldn't want to use these glasses every day of the year, I rather like the

Like many of you most of us I have a love/hate relationship with Anthropologie. I hate the prices, do, actually, quite love the stuff. Except for the dip-dyed log. That sends me into a fury every time I see it. Heaven knows what I would do if I went into someone's house and they actually

Now I love Anthropologie I really do. I don't own any of it because it's so expensive but I regularly look at their pages, browse through their catalogue and dream. Then, occasionally I am brought up short by something that is so utterly ridiculous when it comes to price tags that I sort of hate

I have always loved houseplants. I carted a rather large ficus around several houses, waiting patiently while it shed its leaves in protest at each move and willing it to become green again. indoor plants from anthropologie.com Sadly after about ten years it finally gave up the ghost and had to be retired to the
