"The beauty of this collection is that most pieces exude vintage charm in calming hues of ivory, amber and the perfect shade of blue, which can be effortlessly layered in and styled with existing pieces at home," explains Aaron Mutscheller, President at Anthropologie Living & Terrain.

The Anthropologie Home President continues, "for many years, she has inspired her community to recreate her made-from-scratch recipes, so together, we developed a collection that encourages at-home culinary enthusiasts and Anthropologie customers to cook, bake, and create."
