Snow Cone Maker.

When I was a kid spending summers at my grandparents, there was a retired school teacher who drove around every afternoon selling snow cones out of the back of his station wagon. I realize by today’s standards, this is quite creepy. His name was Mr. Bickerton and he’d taught both of my parents in high school. One snow cone cost 25 cents and you could get as many flavors on it as you wanted. I was partial to cherry and the best part was always the collected juice in the bottom of the paper cone. No more than 5 years old at the time, I thought that snow cones were actually called Mr. Bickertons. I’m sure making my own would do that magical man no justice, but I’d like to give it a go with this cute (and affordable) retro snow cone machine nonetheless. {via Pretty Little Things}

Cookie Tray.

The perfect pedestal dish. When I wasn’t busy using Cookie Tray in the kitchen it would be taking up residence in my bathroom, housing my jewelry baubles. {via swissmiss}

PS: Thanks for bearing with me – and everyone else using Blogger – yesterday while it was down. Feels good to be back in action.

Labour and Wait.

I’d love for my home to be filled with interesting things. Guests would inquire about them and I would explain how I found so and so in the back corner of a little flea market, and this and this in a moldy box in my grandmother’s basement. But they’d really all be pieces from Labour and Wait.

WASARA.

The WASARA line is a great example of why disposable doesn’t have to equal unattractive. These single-use pieces are made entirely of 100% tree-free renewable materials (sugar cane fiber, bamboo, and reed pulp), and fully biodegradable and compostable. They’re suitable for cold or hot foods, and they’re oil- and water-resistant. Take your pick from three sizes of plates in two different shapes, a segmented tray, bowls, tumblers, coffee cups and wine cups.
