Ever swirl wine around a glass? That’s the idea behind Ceramic For Mix, a revolutionary drinking vessel. Gently swirl the mug to set the ceramic ball at the bottom into motion and stir the contents. The ball is kept in place by a slightly protruding base when stirring and drinking. Goodbye, spoon. It was nice knowin’ ya.
Some people are just born with that certain knack for guessing how much pasta to make. I am not one of the blessed and time after time end up with either too much or too little. I’ve seen those nifty little kitchen gadgets geared towards helping you measure portion sizes, but the SL16 Nooodle is so much better! And after you’re done cooking your pasta it doubles as a trivet. Love that it looks like a big wet noodle itself, too.

The oranges I’ve been consuming nearly every single day need a little resting place like this woven plastic basket. A little kitschy. A little roadside diner. A lot cheap.
I really, really like the lines and clean simplistic design behind the Tevere Chair. And in some strange and twisted way it reminds me of a highchair for adults.
I am the proud owner of eight Fiestaware place settings of various colors. And while I’m not all about being matchy-matchy I do love these 3-piece mixing bowl sets – especially the green. They’re just so Betty Crocker Classic.
I adore Tea forte and now they’ve out with the innovative idea of Tea-Over-Ice. Hot tea is steeped in the upper pitcher, then immediately poured over ice in the lower pitcher for the freshest brewed iced tea possible. Quite the presentation.

Adrift Mobiles bring a quiet peace in a modern form to any space they’re placed in. All mobiles are designed and crafted by Brian Schmitt in his San Francisco workshop. I’m not very traditional, so I’d love to use one in a nursery (one day that is!) in place of a cutesy mobile.

Yes, yes, it’s getting a little late for using your fireplace. But since it’s still a major part of the room – even when the weather’s too warm to light ‘er up – you might as well make it attractive. Perhaps with this fireplace screen by designer Alla Kazovsky? I concur, what a fantastic idea!
See the resemblance between the radiator mug and under the hood of your car? Thought so. The ridges in the mug help to keep your hand from burning off while drinking hot beverages.

I love these jumbo mugs for a million different reasons. Mainly because of the bevy of great colors available, the great shape and the stackability. Since I’ve been nursing cup after cuppa hot tea for about a week and a half now I have a renewed respect for these beauties!
