Another Anthropologie Moment
OK, so I admit it. If you haven’t already noticed from my prior posts glorifying Anthropologie for its modern take on antiquated homeware, fun and elegant clothing, and just plain ol’ supreme cuteness—I am a total slave to Anthropologie. Sure they charge exorbitant prices for simple things like door knobs, tank tops, underwear, or light switches, but if you are lucky enough to live close to one of its numerous branches, they usually have sales that let you buy a few good pieces (read: a pair of socks and earrings if you’re lucky).
Case and point—I managed to snag a few fancy schmancy drawer knobs to bling-ify my otherwise staid cabinet for only $3! That’s a good price for knobs isn’t it? What do I know about buying hardware. If it’s pretty, shiny, and looks like it could be useful, I say come to Mama. Maybe I am a little biased and deluded from seeing anything in the store for under $10, but I digress.
So, if like me, waiting for a sale to happen is not enough to satisfy your cuteness hunger pangs, then maybe checking out Bound Together, Anthropologie’s exhibit of handmade artists’ books, will satiate that insatiable I-Like-Pretty palette. The exhibit opens on June 28th at their gallery at Rockefeller Center in New York and features bound books from out of the ordinary materials and sculptural objects created from recycled everyday items.
For all you non-New York residents, you can check out some of the artwork at Anthropologie's website. It's not much, but it should hold you over at least until the next big sale!
