Let’s be honest, there’s aren’t exactly a lot of homages to Pittsburgh out there. At least not gorgeous ones like this Pittsburgh print from JHill Designs. I would have paid full price (I snatched up the medium), but this bad boy is on sale for 20% off through the end of the day in honor of the Steelers beating the crap out of the Cardinals in the Super Bowl last Sunday! Yay. Now I’m homesick.
If you read the olive oil descriptions on the O de Oliva site it sounds like a selection of fine wines.
“It has a very smooth taste, with hints of almonds and green apples.”
“It is a fruity oil, smooth yet persistent, with a long-lasting aroma, both on the palette and in the memory.”
“Fruity taste of ripe olive with a light taste of apple, slightly bitter and spicy.”
And the bottles look like something you’d proudly display in your kitchen with their simple, lovely design.

This is the story that inspired Jungyun Yoon to make ‘Inner message’, a ring with hidden letters on the inside. Inner message is a ring that leaves an impression on the finger.

Sweet.
Can you even imagine the possibilities of Gingerbread Cookie Cups?! My mind is having a difficult time wrapping itself around the idea. In a good way, of course.
