Blogs to Love

My Blogging Your Way class has finally come to an end and I have to say that I am so excited to use all the knowledge Holly and Leslie have shared with me, and all my classmates, on this blog. I've started to adjust to my new anthro schedule I hope I can start to get a good schedule of regular posts and recurring posts and I hope you guys start to get excited to read and discover new things. Don't be afraid to share with me! :)

Our last assignement in class was to talk about 5 other blogs I have started to read since being apart of the class. I skimped on getting it done in the time frame Holly gave us but I didn't want to not do it because I have found so many great blogs from this class that I want to share with you and let the authors of these blogs know that I appreciate and admire them as well!

(so in no particular order....)

Katie Brown for Meijer

I have always had a love for Katie Brown. This spunky brunette with the interesting voice and love for antique things made me tune into her show: Next Door with Katie Brown. Now when her show was on in the late 90's I wasn't much into cooking or gardening but I had a love for her home decor ideas, DIY projects and her trips to her local flea market even though I was only a teenager and the dream of owning my own home seemed so far away. (it actually still does even now that I'm in my late 20's!).

Anyways I would catch her show from time to time and as my teenage life turned to college life I forgot about her show. It wasn't until a year or so ago when a friend told me her show was still on. I think it's changed hosting networks...I honestly still haven't found where or when the show airs, but I grocery shopping the other day at Meijer I walked right by her cute face next to great home goods and I was thrilled!

Katie Brown has this great line of kitchen, home and gardening items for sale at Meijer at a great price and has the touch of Nothern charm and simplicity that she exudes. I have been debating buying new dishes and kitchen tools and her items from her Orchard collection really have me exctied. Check them out and re-discover your love for Katie Brown again!

Anthropologie wedding

Anthropologie is making the little girl princess bride in me so excited; they are coming out with a line of wedding dresses! Let me pause a moment while your eyeballs come back into your head.

Okay you're back and ready to know more. Let's dish. So Anthropologie has announced that their designers and guest designers will be designing dresses for the ethereal, vintage style bride, um hello? Me! Their whole concept behind the wedding dress is to become an heirloom dress. Something you could pass down generation to generation. They also plan to design bridesmaids dresses, accessories, jewelry, shoes and I'm sure much more. Can you say invitations, flowers and dinner settings? The dress/accessory portion is set to roll out Spring of next year but in the years to come things such as wedding planning services and Anthro specific locations are in the works as well.

As I travel through numerous wedding blogs I see how many girls take inspiration for their big day from their store already and I came up with my own little collage of what an Anthro wedding would be like. Who wants to attend?
