Whales Tea Towel.

There’s something about whales that’s just killing me lately. I love them all. A whale tea towel? Sign me up. (Psst… spy the Narwhal?!)

Handsome Dorian of Wye Plates.

Piper is not a delicate or ladylike sort of pooch, despite her hand-me-down pink Coach collar she’s a 40 pound tomboy. A bull in a china shop. A one girl wrecking crew. I love her to death, but I wish I could feed her off of these killer Handsome Dorian of Wye plates. And yes, they’re actually people plates so I could just eat off them myself, but where’s the fun in that?!

Dry or Die!

I’m tempted to buy one of these Dry or Die! tea towels for every member of my family. During the holidays after meal clean-up always turn into a battle of who gets to wash and who has to dry. Being the youngest, I inevitably get screwed every time. How rad would it be to oh-so-casually toss these at everyone as I take the reins at the sink? I assure you, very.

Dinnerware Fetish.

You see, I have this thing for dinnerware. Well, more like all things kitchen in general but that’s a different story. I only have one set – Fiestaware – but I lust, oh how I lust, after at least one new set a week. I live for the day when I can have a few sets that can be switched out to my little heart’s content. Here are a few that have made little blips on my radar recently.

Catherine Hamilton’s Bottle Garden collection. There are only cake plates and muglets(!) available, but I think they would make for a perfectly acceptable Special Occasions collection. Choose from rosy pink or sea blue or go the mix and match route and make it your own. {via Design*Sponge}

Dik Scheepers. Although only conceptual at this point, I love how the seams are left alone instead of being smoothed out. And white gets me every single time. {via Shiny Squirrel}

Marimekko Siirtolapuutarha & Räsymatto. So many lovely patterns and just the right splashes of color here and there. Of course we’ve come to expect no less from Marimekko. The collection was designed to take the viewer through a tale of country life in an urban setting. {via Design Love Fest}

Anatomica. Old timey, sideshow looking dudes overlaid with internal systems of the body? Sign me up yesterday. (The fact that The New English, the overhead company, is striving to be the Vivienne Westwood of dinnerware doesn’t hurt either.)

Tric. The designer in me loves this collection for its simplicity, the other parts of me love it because it would be so easy to mix it in with my Fiestaware pieces. Completely fun and refined all at the same time. {via Creature Comforts}
