Anthro, Me, and TeePees

I had to laugh today when I peeked at my new Anthro catalog and saw 

this beautiful tee-pee.

It reminds me of this one {grin}.  

Of course the Anthro version is much more sophisticated and for a different audience.

With my boys I definitely had to secure the sides up or it would be pulled down or ripped easily,

but the Anthro version is so pretty like it is.  

I love ours too, dare I say we made it first? {smile}

Ahh, having given 3 years of my life to managing Anthropologie Home at our store here

{after leaving Corporate America}, it makes me smile to see the similarity.  I loved even the small Kids section we had within Home, it was so me and what I thought about for my kids.  

I would not wish in a million years to be there versus what I am doing now

{this is a lot less drama!}, but I definitely have respect for what I did there and what I learned to do, and some really special people I met.  

These days, my Anthro nod isn't high fashion or  hanging chandeliers from branches...

but it appears we are still on the same page a bit.  Funny how that happens!
