‘Instant Heirloom’ glitter ornaments from Anthropologie

Glitter ornaments
It's the 1st December so time to start properly getting into the Christmas spirit. If that for you includes starting to think about decorating the tree, you may want to look at these 'instant heirloom' glitter ornaments from Anthropologie.

I'm not sure that they do live up to their product name in being something that you'll pass down through the generations but, if you want a very traditional look for your tree, these should should certainly do the job. They are a set of six glass bulbs, decorated with glitter – you'll probably remember something very similar on your gran's tree. These are also described as being 'age-stained', presumably to make them look like something you've dug out of the family attic.

The set comes in a retro-looking box and costs £24.

Stacked paperback wallpaper at Anthropologie

Paperback wallpaper

Bibliophiles should embrace this stacked paperback wallpaper from Anthropologie

Designed by Tracy Kendall, the paper is hand-screen printed with images of piles of vintage and second hand looking paperbacks, spines placed out for easy browsing. To be honest, this is quite similar to what my house looks like anyway (and I imagine that of most book lovers), but at least with this there's no danger of them toppling over!

Each roll is 46cm with a repeat of 63cm and costs £128.

Knotted Melati hanging chair at Anthropologie

Melati hanging chair

The hanging chair was an interior staple for the swinging sixties. This knotted melati hanging chair from Anthropologie gives the look an 'update', courtesy of the favoured 70s craft of macrame. 

The result is a chair that looks perfect for relaxing in on a summer's day, with the green, blue and white of the macrame adding to the laid back look. 

You could try knotting one yourself, or this chair costs £548 to buy.
