A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Squeal! It's an American folky-arty boho lifestyle shop, and it's arrived in Regent Street! I'm always seeing things from it on upscale US crafty blogs, and it does look very contrivedly lovely. I went yesterday, and it's beautiful. They have a green wall - a living plant covered wall - on the stairwell, and a narwhal over a dining table. It's beautiful weird, and also gulpably shocking pricewise. For instance, these dish towels are advertised at that price on the web, but instore, they just change the $ for the £ sign, so they're £22. But I got them for £1.95 because "Ooops, word censored!"ody is going to buy them. I am going to use them as part of a framed window quilty curtain thing I'm making. I like hedgehogs. What do you think of Anthro (as the trendy yanks call it)? http://www.anthropologie.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I like this toadstool http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=HOME-KIDS-TOYS&id=973955&catId=HOME-KIDS&pushId=HOME-KIDS&popId=HOME&sortProperties=&navCount=15&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=060&colorName=RED&isSubcategory=true&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType= but look at the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 some really lovely stuff - really like the teatowels. Have you had a look at the kids section? There is a crochet chess set for £88something *gulp* I shall have a longer peruse later as I am really meant to be doing stuff, and not be on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Super pouf! Actually that's not expensive by Anthro standards. Just by normal standards! My plan is to steal ideas then make my own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flo Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It is a great shop, not been into the regent street store, but it is overpriced (rather than expensive!) They have put a lot of money into opening in the UK and they are opening a huge store on the Kings Road later in the year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We popped into the Regent Street store for a mooch and it really is stunning, a friend in the US loves their stuff and alerted me to it. far too expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Grrrr. The stuff is beautiful if expensive... but no point looking at a lot of it as it is too small! Why do the sizes stop at 14 in so much of the range? I'm a 16 and it mystifies me why so many shops don't think I need clothes! Breathe, breathe, breathe.....

Valkyrie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I find it helps a lot financially - no clothes no spend. Teabag you are not a thing! Funky probably! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on the website it says the clothes are in USA sizes, so a UK size 16 is a US size 12 (that's the quickest way for any of us to drop 2 dress sizes ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Was it naughty to go back today and get an amazing silk scarf? They remembered me. Not sure if that's because they have amazing customer service or if I've just 'got one of those faces'. They do talk to you though. Properly, like they want to. Oh hearts and roses and fluffy bunnies and joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 The scarf has no bunnies on it. You just feel like it's springtime in their shoppe! They are so NICE!
