A girl’s gotta entertain herself somehow, right? Actually, I was online today looking to see if I could spend my Pottery Barn gift card (left over from wedding gifts), and ended up with this assortment of things. Most of them wouldn’t be here if I could manage to get Crate and Barrel to talk to the wists site, but since I can’t get that to work, I’ll have to blog about them instead.
Spring things
- The Vinca series at Crate and Barrel
- Sonnet Placemats at Crate and Barrel
- Dew coordinating serving dishes at Crate and Barrel
- Butterflies
- Napkins at Pottery Barn
- Planters (lest anyone think I have completely given over my free will to Apartment Therapy, yes, they did mention these yesterday, but I didn’t check the site until after seeing them this morning on Pottery Barn’s website, so I fell in love with them all on my own)
- Potted Succulent Candles at Crate and Barrel. These would be easy enough to do if you could find the candle parts somewhere, which I think I’ve seen. Mini terra cotta pots are uber-cheap and you can get them by the dozens! However, C&B makes it super-easy to just buy their version instead.
- Clearly, stores know exactly how to get to me at this time of the year – green, leafy, bright colors… I want Spring!
Kitchen things
- Water Fill Ice Cream Scoop at Crate and Barrel – fill the handle with warm water and make ice cream scooping so much easier!
- Star Pop molds at Crate and Barrel – almost feels like July, right?
- Hot Chocolate mugs from Crate and Barrel – porcelain, but they look like the paper cups! How cute!
- Cirque Cafe Table at Crate and Barrel – no idea where I’d put this, but I like it.
- Natalie Champagne Flutes at Crate and Barrel – only $2.50 each! I’ve been looking (half-heartedly) for some champagne flutes since
got some champagne as a gift. Unfortunately, most of the stuff out there is either sets of 6 (which we have no use for), or if it’s a set of 2, they assume that it’s for a wedding and therefore want to charge an arm and a leg. This very basic, plain design (which is exactly what I’d want) is sold per piece. Genius.
Random decorating things
- Sloan Ladder shelving at Crate and Barrel. I’ve been in love with ladder shelving since it came out a few years back.
- Sausalito Tablecloth at Crate and Barrel. Gorgeous colors.
- Door mat at Crate and Barrel
- Amelia indoor/outdoor curtain at Crate and Barrel – I like the print for a roller-blind, like the one I’d mentioned earlier from Ikea.
Also, Apartment Therapy continues to bring to my mind the idea of decorating with bamboo. Is this trend here to stay, or just really hot right now?
