I love sesame chicken.
I love pomegranates.
I’m imagining this Pomegranate Sesame Chicken to be heaven on earth.

Posted In recipesTalk about watching time burn! When I first saw this calendar made of matches by designer Yurko Gutsulyak (for VS Energy International Ukraine Financial industrial group) I was in completely awe of the sheer genius behind the product.
“The idea was to create as unique a calendar so that the process of its presenting would become an outstanding event. Alongside with this, it was important to expose the idea of “energy”, as it is predetermined by the name and logo of the company. Each page is a month and it looks like a comb made of matches that correspond to the days. The matches are real and the construction of the calendar is absolutely safe.”

4. hand sculpture
Alluring. Elongated, sleek aluminum hand grasps for, and holds precious items. An exquisite modern sculpture that is great for holding jewelry or scarves.
5. For Like Ever poster
It was designed in 2004 as a part of Tracy’s MFA thesis project in the Graphic Design program at Yale University. It is a simple phrase she has always loved, and magnifying it on paper seems to change its meaning from a sometimes throwaway saying to a larger hopeful statement.

Charming, romantic and unforgettable, this garland light is made of silver satin-plated steel that mesmerizes with its delicately etched floral patterns. The continuous metal strand attaches to the base with a simple clip, and multiple strands may be attached to create larger shades. Gentle taps turn the base on and off.

Dear Santa,
I’ve been pretty good for the most part this year.
I flipped the minimal amount of people off on the roadways (and those I told were #1 deserved it I might add). I cut back on Happy Hours. And that one day when my cat, Peanut, got stuck in the coat closet for ten hours? Totally his fault.
So if you could just maybe consider putting this Heather Frazier Mobile under my tree this Christmas I’d be very thankful. Especially because I’ve already decided exactly where it will go.
Love,
Kelly
I love this idea! Snow garland is simple to make with just a roll of dental floss and some white adhesive dots and creates quite a dramatic effect when used in quantity.

I’m thinking the smooth, creamy texture of the mousse and the crunchy pops of the pomegranate seeds make this Pomegranate Mousse a must try.

Posted In recipesI’ve taken a serious liking to repurposed ceiling medallions. These clocks from Mr. Kaliski are fantastic. It’s amazing how something so utterly stuffy in it’s original purpose becomes chic and art-like when used in another way.

I’ll be the first to admit that with FOUR Calendar Roundups, things have gotten a tad bit out of control. But there are so, so many good ones floating about that I can’t resist the urge to share and pass on the goodness!

happify. This set of twelve cards is offset printed in a rich chocolate brown on an extra-thick cream cardstock (5″x7″). On the reverse side there’s space for writing a note and sending them off as postcards to friends, family, or just those people who need a little more happiness in their lives.
seesaw designs. Letterpress calendar with space to write in all those important appointments and special days.
Becca Heuer. This 4-page seasonal calendar was hand-printed with love on a Vandercook press. It is bound by means of Japanese bindery and perforated at the top for an easy way to tear off sheets as seasons change.
