Three More Days...

Of free shipping from Anthropologie.com, including sale items if you buy something regular-priced, too. This promotion has been running for a while but ends on September 30, so you might want to browse and see if there's something you can't live without.

I've been living without these serving bowls, although I've admired them for ages: 

They come in lime green as well as sunny orange, and I like them all:

 They are 8" and 9" — versatile sizes — and they're pretty on the inside, too:

I've resisted buying them ($58) because I have a lot of bowls and storage space is tight. On the other hand, my bowls are all either vintage nested mixing bowls or low salad bowls that pinch-hit* when I serve spaghetti or stew — looking obviously like mixing and salad bowls. So, in the interest of living like a grown-up, maybe I shouldn't live without these forever. I examined them in the store months ago, when they still had some in stock, and they are even nicer in reality.

But then I'd have to choose a color. Both would look horrible with our antique china... but we do have a set of simple white plates... three days to decide.

* Sorry — I know baseball metaphors are rather painful just now. But it's not over yet — and don't we Bostonians relish a little drama in September?


UPDATE: Both sets of bowls are back in stock in the Newbury Street store. So I can keep procrastinating.
