Anthropologie Book Picks Holiday 2012

Ok, I admit it...I have a book fettish ;) I really do and my Mom is truly concerned and has been for years, lol.

I just cant help myself! I see a beautiful book and I have to have it! Especially if it's a design or decorating book or a cookbook or a self-help book...ok, there are lots of books I cant seem to live without....I LOVE BOOKS!

And dont even get me started on vintage books, Lordy, Lordy, I can really go nuts collecting vintage books(that I never read but have to own because they are so wonderful and someone needs to own them, right?) I can hardly pass up a classic when at an estate sale...what a wonderful treasure!

In addition to Barnes & Noble and Amazon, two of my FAVORITE places to shop, I also love Anthropologie for their cute and clever selection of books. I always seem to leave with a book when I am shopping there...and a hand lotion from Lollia

Lollia Classic Peta...FAB!

and a candle from Capri Blue, Volcano being my favorite fragrance...delicious!

Traditional Blue Jar

"NEW" Mercury Glass Jar

And then there are the books through which I could browse for hours...and usually do, truth be known. Anthropologie is a "must see" on my holiday shopping list. I love it this time of year, dont you? Well, I love it all year round, but the holiday season is always really special. Dont you just love their ornaments? The cutest I have ever seen. And I love that they have a nostalgic, handmade, vintage look about them. Just dreamy.

Did you see what just happened here...it's just like in the store, I get sidetracked by all the loveliness, lol.

Glitter Hummingbird

Pollyanna Bunny

Felt Arm Chair

Felt Madeline Chair

(I had to include these felt chairs, afterall, I am a designer!)

And when I finally make it around to the books, lol, I am in pure bliss :) I can browse through their selections for what seems like all afternoon. Glorious recipes and decorating "how to's", gardening, more decorating and there is always something French and always a book about a celebrity! Last year I bought my daughter "Just Being Audrey" for Christmas and she loved it!
