In Love With Anthropologie (but not the price!!!)

Does anyone else just love Anthropologie??? I heard people discussing this cute store (and there happens to be one not to far from here!) and decided to peek at the store online (this was about two years ago, way pre-Collin and diapers.) Now most of their items are way over-priced yet oh-so-beautiful but if you follow the items (such as these cute late-bowls which are $30 for six normally) but if you see when they go on sale,

they go down to only around $11.

These bowls are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!

I would love this simply white soap-dish. And it actually is not horribly overpriced 

*unlike my precious latte bowls:(

I can not help but love the ric-rac on this cute apron.

I know I have posted about aprons before, but have I ever mentioned I love, love, love aprons??? I used to have 4 or 5, but as I am a very messy cook, I have ruined a few in my time. My favorite thus far is a green and pink striped apron from Williams and Sonoma. I have had it since I got married and it has been a great apron. But seriously, I could really be domestic in any of these although Mike is the baker in our home and I may or may not have a picture from when we first were married of him in a frilly apron.

I am glad that we are underpaid students, so that I have to use some of those domestic skills and make a few of these cute aprons instead of purchasing these cute little numbers.

We are one of those families that keeps a stick of butter out on the counter (I grew up with a butter dish on the counter.) We were given one when we got married and so it has been used now for about 5 1/2 years. Sadly, it has benn chipping more and more every day. So eventually, I will have to bite the dust, and purchase a new one. Does anyone else love the look of yellow and blue together???

I would love to open my fridge, just to see this pretty egg holder. I even saw a sign in the town we live in for fresh eggs. I love little farms and farmer markets. I am no huge buy local (I have a remarkable sister that buys only local 99% of the time) but I feel like we do try.

For anyone who knows me, you know I love hot chocolate. About 5 days out of the week, I have two pieces of wheat toast (with a bit of butter) and a cup of hot chocolate for breakfast. I have been envying these beauties for over a year now, and have been hoping they would go on clearance (no such luck) so maybe for Mother's day I could get a set of these. I am not sure I could steep stoop to buy these

 

                                   

And these kitchen timers are just darling. I honestly have never had a kitchen timer (I know, right?) So maybe I would have no more burnt food if I had one of these darling little timers.

 

These tumblers are just beautiful. The price, not so much.Definitely a go on-sale-price. But all the reviews say they are heavy duty and even more beautiful in person. I am a gal that appreciates heavy duty glass. I am somewhat of a clutz, and I tend to break things. Before we bought our last heavy-duty glasses, we went through about 6 boxes of glasses.  So sometimes the investment is worth it in the long run. I think they would also make pretty little vases or useful holders for the bathroom. So there are some of my favorites. Besides the aprons, (and the bowls of course!) these items are under $15. Now that sounds more like my kool-aid budget price range (the saying really is champagne taste on a beer budget but since we do not drink alcohol, we say champagne tastes on a kool-aid budget.)
