I went to the mall today. That’s why I’m posting this at 6:35pm instead of 6:35am like I planned. Some of our bffs were in town and we shopped till we dropped.
We hit up one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie. Have you been? It’s just so…cool. It’s random. And shabby. And different. And hip. And I could literally stay in there for hours. Of course, I don’t have enough money to actually SHOP there, but it’s fun just wandering.
So, while I was reveling in the creative goodness, I decided to pick up something for my week o’ giveaways. Because, honestly, I think that store is so magical, it doesn’t even matter what it is–it might even be ugly, but if it’s from Anthropolgie, I like it. *sigh*
I really wanted to get this…
(mirrored side table. $998. you know, because I could totally ship that to you. after spending almost 1k.)
Or this…
(little girls’ neck wrap. $38. can you believe I contemplated spending $40 on a kids’ scarf?!)
Or something like this…
(owl sake pot. $28. does anyone drink sake? but still! an owl pot. so cute.)
But instead, I settled on these!
(cutest salt and pepper shakers ever. undisclosed price.)
Aren’t they cute? I have a soft spot for salt and pepper shakers because my parents have a little collection of them–mini shakers, holiday shakers, every kind you can think of. These were so adorable, I thought I’d pass them onto you! If these don’t make you happy, I don’t know what will!
Just leave me a comment on this post about what you like to collect. If you’d like an extra entry, just leave me another comment letting me know you subscribed to my feed and/or posted about me or this post somewhere on your blog.
Comments will close on Friday (or so). And I’ll pick one winner to win these salt and pepper shakers. One winner that I’ll be so jealous of.
(extra points to whoever can tell me who originally said the title of this post!)
(btw, have I mentioned I’m having a week o’ giveaways?
win a tummy time safari and $50 from bn.com now!)
Sebastian, from Little Mermaid 🙂
I collect fairy’s. Mostly little sculptures, but pictures and other things with fairys on it.
Also, Firefox stuffed animals, (red pandas) and eeyore stuff.
Is it really Sebastian from the Little Mermaid? I have no idea….
I LOVE Anthropologie. I walk through there and just drool. And I get tons of great ideas from there. I collect small clear glass bud vases. Very specific, too, huh? I’ve always wanted to start a salt and pepper shaker collection – with some really cool kitschy ones and some really gorgeous ones and some really tacky ones and some really plain ones. So… I can start my new collection once I win your set from Anthropologie!
Omg Amanda! I had no idea you were having giveaways. Bloglines isn’t feeding me your updates 🙁 ! Cute shakers! Off to read everything else I’ve missed…
THOSE are too cute for words! Very fun.
ok, so cute.
hmmmm…what do i collect? well, lately it seems to be failed dates 🙂 does that count??
Ooh, I want these, too! We don’t actually have salt and pepper shakers, either. I mean, not ones we use. Some rusty ones we got for our wedding that we can’t bring ourselves to throw away, but these are better, for sure 🙂
What do I collect… ummm.. babies? 🙂
I know you’re totally going to think I’m making this up, but I actually, for really, genuinely collect . . . salt and pepper shakers.
I collect anything & everything with cats (heehee)!
Humm…what do I collect? Race t-shirts that I would never actually wear in public because they are ugly and have advertising on the back…That is all I can think of…
Well, I used to collect Cherished Teddies and Boyd’s Bears. I guess all I collect now are books. They’re much more useful, and I am all about the practical.
I collect fonts. 🙂 LOVED meeting you and the pirate last night.
Here’s my bonus entry: I just linked to you in the BlogHer post I’m writing. 🙂
I collect three things:
Ceramic Firehouses
Angels
**drum roll please**
Salt & Pepper shakers
Someday I’ll have to photograph my collections and post them. My house run-eth over!
I subscribe!
I collect tea cups and tea pots. I love those Salt & Pepper shakers. You don’t need to give away things, your site is great just like it is.
I collect books because I love to read! My mom collects salt and pepper shakers. Love your blog!
I subcribe to your blog through google reader.
Love, love, LOVE Anthropologie!
I don’t collect anything. Does that make me boring? 🙂
We love ladybugs and lambies in our house. We have a whole collection of stuffed lambies that our Ladybug is enjoying.
PS. Love the owl sake pot – too cute!
Oh, I love these! I don’t collect anything. I used to collect precious moments when I was a kid, but I think they’re all in my parent’s basement now. heh I have a friend who collects rubber ducks. She has over 60 different ones. crazy!
I just finished adding you to my “Blogs I follow” listing and will be getting a post done too shortly -I hope, if I can stay awake long enough -to mention not just the B&N gift certificate but mainly really the opportunity to have something given back to our schools when we purchase books from B&N! I collect -books (every chance I can) -fabric, yarns, knit/crochet/embroidery and sewing patterns -plus, I also love to collect pretty cups but have run out of space to put them so that’s on hold for a while now.
These are the cutest! I don’t collect anything but would just love these!
I collect shot glasses. It’s even sadder that every one of the over 300 have been used (not just by me. I’m not that big of a lush!)
