The PB is taking a break from her usual ponderous, high-brow-intellectual musings to show you a selection of pretty things from the spring collection at Anthropologie. I love these fresh colors, vintage prints, and graceful designs. It looks like we're heading toward a beautiful spring.... one of these months. In the meantime, I hope these will brighten your day.

Those are so airy and light. I'm liking the colors and botanical theme.
I just discovered another gem of a vintage shop called Lady Luxe. It's right on the border of Cambridge and Watertown - not sure which side, and the owners have the most fantastic collection of 60's hats (and fine millinery)- feathers, netting, caps, colors - they would complement the Anthropologie garb. Everything was in mint condition.
There is a tiny consignment/vintage shop behind it - The Mad Closet - that I missed due to its miniscule size, but as LL plans to have its Spring collection out in the next couple of weeks, I'll probably go back and visit them both.

Love the bird and the soap dish...shoes a bit granny...and I never show my upper arms off, but with a lacy sweater, love sundresses
When it stops raining, I'll be heading over to Lady Luxe and The Mad Closet. Thanks so much for the tips!
