a little green

I get emails from Anthropologie often, but I don't look through them all the time for fear of my wallet losing some weight. I like my wallets to have a little bit of weight (even if just figuratively). Today, since it is Sunday, I thought it would be a safe day to browse without feeling tempted to touch my wallet. So instead of plucking out my credit card, I am journaling my interests here; curbing the craving, if you will. 

First up.

Second up.

filigree vines and lush leaves:
It's luminescence on the wall is breathtaking and very soothing. Where's my moroccan menu?
Fifth up.
