Marching along

Ah the crazy month of March, it's slipping by.  Typical of March weather, we've had a few days in the mid-80s already, a Hail storm,which beat a lot of the fresh new growth off the trees.   Yesterday it was 80.  Hub and I went out around 7 p.m. to get a few items at the store.  Within an hour, the temp had dropped 20 degrees and the wind was howling.  Cold and windy last night, it's 52 this morning.  No one should pack away their sweaters and jackets just yet.  The weatherman forecasts, but Mother Nature keeps us guessing.

I've only been to Anthropologie a couple of times in the last two months.  They were just getting their spring displays installed a couple of weeks ago.  Here's a few, taken with my camera that is needing to be retired, as it's auto-focus is beginning to act up.  Trying to decide if I will buy a new small camera or just wait till I get a smart phone and use that.

New Anthropologie Eye Candy

My silly, frivolous escape from the horrible things going on in the real world. If only for awhile. A walk through the Anthropologie with my camera. The Domain, Austin, Tx.

The seawall display at this one wasn't quite as elaborate as the one in San Antonio, but still nice.




These flowers were made from torn strips of heavy watercolor paper.




Park bench and pots


Nice cupboard with recipe written on papered inside.


Cute plates


How about having this wall of metal boxes for a huge room divider?


Sleep shirt. Love this bird on a wire fabric.

Never Enough Anthropologie

The Shops at La Cantera is the location of this Anthropologie. When I got there I realized I had neglected to download my camera card, and didn't have an extra. So I was madly trying to delete some photos so I'd have room for Anthro photos. Didn't get a lot of shots, but I will be going back there for sure. Hubby and I will be going to San Antonio more often this year.

Wooden Hangers and Clothespins form these flowers. Aren't they delightful?



Looking from the indside out, across the courtyard. I really like the silhouette of these, even though the photo is dark.


A very cool display made of cut up blue jeans, with some succulents planted in a few of the openings.


Hubby noticed this and really liked the woven burlap on this wall, which was also covered in burlap.


Bunnies, oh my!


A gorgeous sea wall theme, with fishing nets. This photo does not do justice to how wonderful this was.

On the left wall behind the boat, this corner had colorful cups attached to the net. Looked like beautiful fish just brought in from the sea.


This is Lindsay. She welcomed us to the store and was so sweet and kind to us. She showed us a lot of new things they had gotten in. We also chatted about visiting different Anthro stores around the country and even around the globe. How where we go on vacation depends if they have an Anthropologie store there! I hope she doesn't mind this photo, she was running from me when I tried to snap an earlier one, but she did pose for this one. Thanks Lindsay, for all your help.

I Forgot to Show You

Here it is, time again to hit Anthropologie for the new month/New Year display for inspiration/ideas. But I forgot to show you the ones I took last month. Most of them are kind of Christmasy, but I still think they are wonderful, and worth seeing.

Very white, with decorations and Gertie, the bird. I think she's an ostrich.


Candles and snowflakes


Burgundy ribbons and filled ornaments


I adore antlers


Vintage bulbs and other glass against my favorite blue wall

Yes, I did

Dropped by one of my favorite places for inspiration again. Anthropologie. I haven't figured out how to add a link yet. Sorry.

Isn't this cool how the shadow plays on the wall? I'm in love with shadows and look for them everywhere.


This is a really great display you see as you walk into the store, it's just a bunch of pieces of recovered wood, and they have turquoise paint on the ends of each. Wow, this is why I'd like to live in a warehouse, to be able to display large pieces like this.

Anthropology Love

I am totally in love with the displays at Anthropology. At least once a month I like to go by and take a look at their windows,as well as inside displays. Sometimes I go back once in awhle to get a second look at something and find it gone and all new stuff in its place. This time they had a really cool "stenciled" looking one. It appears to be partly on clear vinyl, some on fabric, and some on paper, layered over some painted directly on the wall. Love it. The flash kind of washed it out, it was really blue over some lighter aqua paint.
