I was shopping today, searching for wedding dresses for my half-brother's wedding. He's about forty, and it'll be in Indiana. My mom and I went into Anthropologie, one of my favorite stores. And, as I a sculpture artist I really must comment on how great their creative displays are! In the window behind and surrounding the maniquins is a flowing tubular sculpture of wicker strips, bulging in and out. It looked like an abstract extension form of a tribal fish catching contraption. I am very attracted to multiples and sticks and wood things especially. Inside there was another linear flowing form reaching from the floor to the ceiling. This one was contrived with multiple rolled up pieces of paper. Shaped like trumpets. The ends which faced front had been dipped in different shades of blue. It was watery, delicate and beautiful. Who makes these!?
Anthropologie is like a homestyle country, meets bohemian type of store. The stuff can be pricey, but a lot of it seems to be worth it, when the materials are so soft...you know?
The bedding is the softest, and it seems to be such great material and make. I would love to buy that bedding in a beautiful white.
NOTE: When I think about shopping for my home (to come one day) I see myself going to great big flea markets and finding one of a kind pieces, vintage etc., to put in my home with love and care. I'm out to find the most interesting, and unique bits. I want to surround myself with love, what I really love most. People and things.
my mom has those towels!
