Anthropologie and a good afternoon giveaway

I am working on a new project that requires lovely hardware. There are many wonderful stores that carry knobs of all sorts, but my favorite is Anthropologie. I imagine it is because the visual displays always bring out so many wonderful ideas in me.



There is always something that catches my eye such as this bedding ensemble.

Even though Mr. Decor says that our three sets of dishes are enough, I can't help but to take a look. For some women it's shoes. For me... dishes, oh and linens, and lovely vintage jewelry and buttons. Now where was I going with this post?




Ah yes, I spied this darling teacup and dishtowel in the sale section. Well, they were just to cute to leave there so I thought perhaps it might be time for a giveaway. When I spotted a second teacup moments later, it became a done deal.



Would you like this "Good Afternoon Giveaway"? It includes two pretty teacups. They are a nice French blue with gold handles and have lovely birds on the front. They just call for lemon poppy scone mix and Earl Grey tea. You can wash up afterwards with the darling tea towel and sweet smelling soap.

The birds on the teacup made me think of a vintage celluloid pendant I had in my collection. I decided to pair it with a long vintage chain I had on hand. It has an Art Deco feel I think. You can find it in my Etsy Shoppe.

Perhaps you like pink?




My daughter loves Marie Antoinette. This is her favorite. It has a small heart that trails down the back of the wearers neck.

How does your garden grow? With blue bells and cockle shells.

When I traveled to Minnesota recently to visit my grandmother the lilacs were in bloom. Vintage purple charms are often hard to come by. This necklace makes me think of lilacs.

If you decide to post a link to this giveaway on your blog let me know when you leave a comment. If you win I will go through my vintage linen and jewelry collection and add a sweet something extra to your package. I'll pick a name on Friday, July 18th.

Good luck!

Update~ check Friday's post as the winner has been announced.
