Really, Anthropologie?

by casadeberry1 Comment on Really, Anthropologie?

I love some of your stuff, dear A, but some of your prices are seriously freakish.
My little one used to have special needs classes to help with his fine motor skills. One of his “jobs” was sorting balls (get your minds outta the gutter!) and stringing them on a cord, and I’m pretty sure he came up with something like this at one point, when he ended up knotting something that took the teachers 45 minutes to un-knot.

You’re telling me I could have financed my boys’ college education if I’d just given my youngest some string and balls? I could have my villa in the South of France by now? I could be a Real Housewife of Silicon Valley?

Apparently people will pay more than $400 for tangled balls. Who knew?

The 17,923th version of . . .

the Pottery Barn jewelry frame! I know, I know, you’ve seen similar knock-offs everywhere, and when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere, but ya know, I do love my deep, dark reds:
Yep, I used a rich glossy red for my frame, and I love it. Also, I used twine instead of wire to make it a little more of a contrast between the rustic twine and the gloss of the red.

I love the bold contrast between my bathroom wall and the glossy frame. Now I’m painting a little pot I found with the same red spray paint, and it will hold my daily cosmetics. A little update for very little money.
