A Collection of Oddities
With the holidays approaching, retailers are gearing up their merchandising engines in order to present us, the consumers with a wide and exciting array of gift purchase possibilities. The fun part about this, is the collection of highly amusing, overpriced oddities that usually makes an appearance at Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. I always get a kick out of browsing these and trying to imagine who and why would invest into some of this stuff.
Cornelis Souvenir Vase - $348
Bozeman Furnace - $2,100
Vintage Rotary Phone - $68
Ok, this one's totally up my alley. Of course you can
find them in abundance on eBay and Etsy.
Big Band Megaphone - $1000
Music, done the old-fashioned way. Here's the description from Anthropologie.com:
"This well-constructed ceramic amplifier adds an echo and bellow unlike any speaker or stereo. Fitted on a solid wood stand, this megaphone relies solely on its unique design and requires no electricity. Compatible with iPhones and the iPod Touch."
Very attractive, but I doubt it's practical. Wonder if it will give splinters.
Pretty! I like the little nest in the center.
Totally awesome stoneware birdhouses.
Question is, would you actually put these out outside for birds?
Handpainted. No two are exactly alike. Looks like
something that belongs in the female equivalent's of a Mad Hatter, house.

Available in an array of colors.
That's right, for the price of a dignified-size diamond ring, you can own a lovely-hued
paddleboard. Then again, if you can afford this paddleboard, you can probably afford the diamond ring as well.
Pashley Brittania Bike - $1,395
Handmade in England and totally looks like something one would
ride through an English countryside. Or Central Park.
Kinda cute, but what would fit into it?
Well-Rooted Turntable - $1,600
Handmade of bamboo and equipped with parts kit and tracker cartridge by Music Hall Audio.
Barky Turntable - $1,298
Ok, I have to admit, this thing is quite attractive. If it was under $80
I might have considered buying it. Not that I own any records.
iTree Docking Station - $15,000
Yup, it's a log with speakers. No two are exactly alike.
Given the price, I don't get it either.
Driftwood iDock 5 - $98
No speakers on this one. Just a charger.
Yet after the iTree, this seems like a bargain.
Just the thing for that marble bust that's been collecting dust in your closet.
Lacey Foyer Table - $1,598
This handmade table is magical! It looks like it
belongs in the Snow Queen's (Brother's Grimm) palace.
Anthropologie also has a matching dining table, chair and bench.
Wish I could afford it and so wish I had the kind of house it would actually fit into.
Winter Dream Ram Bust - $498
Who wouldn't want a ram bust on their wall?
They look better in pairs, don't you think?
This one's my favorite.
Backyard Chicken Coop - $3000
That's right, you did not hallucinate this. Anthropologie is selling a chicken coop.
My only question is, if you have a yard and you're the type to actually put up a chicken
coop in it, aren't you also by default the type to bang one together yourself?
If the answer is no, and you must have a ready-built chicken coop,
William-Sonoma sells a variety of them for a fraction of Anthropologie's price.
This one takes the ball for being the oddest contraption currently for sale at Anthropologie.
A One-of-a-kind Rickshaw.
Rickshaw By Gordon Hull - $10,000
Granted, it's a masterpiece of a Rickshaw, what exactly does one do with it?
I guess you must be a serious collector of one-of-a-kind weird contraptions to
invest into this thing.
invest into this thing.
