Terrian...

So I think that I have maybe mentioned before that I freakin' love Anthropology right? Well last month at a blogger meet up in the Philadelphia area {more to come on that later} I had the chance to go to a nursery run by the same company that owns Anthropology. Terrian did not fail expectations.  I loved it all so much that it made me want to scratch my own eyes out from all the cuteness that I could not afford but also somehow could not live without.  Does that makes any sense?  If you had seen laundry detergent that cute you would understand....here are some pictures to prove it...

I could have bought every thing in the store but settled on some red and white twine {have actually wanted this forever and had a hard time finding it} and some scented tea lights.  That alone cost me $32! That is gross but I guess that is the price you pay to leave with your eye sight.
