I was sad b/c its pretty AND toxic, so of course I wouldn't buy it (haven't yet). I emailed PB and this is the response: Thank you for contacting Pottery Barn. At Pottery...

Part of their price is extraordinary customer service, I have experienced that time and time again, and if you can afford it, it makes some things worth the higher price point. Plus in my experien...

I'm temporarily living in France and cut flowers are super-cheap here. I'm able to bring fresh flowers into the apartment that I could never afford back home. It has really brightened up my year!

I love chair hammocks (the kind you can stretch to put your feet al the way out in) for swinging outside.

Peaches and berries, cherry with almond or hazelnut crust, rhubarb, anything with almost no sugar added to the fruit. I'm moving from France back to the USA this summer, and this would sure help e...

I would love this for MY bedroom. Thanks for the chance!
