in the kitchen with anthropologie... Maybe it is because it's been rainy out all morning and I've been whittling away the morning hours sitting by the fireplace paging through cookbooks, or maybe because I was due for my monthly Anthropologie fix, either way, there is something about Anthropologie's kitchen and tablewares that always makes me want to throw a dinner party. They are just plain fun.
As a habitual collector of dishtowels, I need to show some restraint when I gaze upon great prints like the Birder dishtowel (above left, $24) and Tree-Dwelling (above right, $24).

I've got Thanksgiving on my mind right now and I am coveting the apron and tableware shown here. I'll be hosting this year's celebrations and with it being my favorite holiday and all, I dream of the perfect table setting. I especially love the footed urn... that would make a great centerpiece. Of course, I am driven back down to reality by budget, but I take my inspiration from these items and try to paw through old treasures I already have to recreate the same type of feeling.

Beast's Feast Bowl ($78), and Butterfly Study Dinnerware ($10-$32)

Allison, I did the exact same thing this morning. I tore pages of frilly skirts and obscenely gorgeous necklaces out of the paper catalog to pin to the wall in front of my computer. I am also in love with their paint-by-numbers plates, and now that I see this apron you've shared, I am totally smitten. It seems as though I'm in need a sponsor OR a lotto win (though I could get my pennies together for the apron, I think!).
Not food for thought, but you got me to thinking about Thanksgiving too. Good post.
Amy, if you get am Anthropologie sponsor, give me a shout... maybe we can share! i definitely dream shop there.
