I need the Twice As Nice Double Timer in my kitchen. I’ve been making a lot of dinners lately that require a few pots to be going at the same time and using both my oven and microwave timers to keep things on track. Pathetic. This little thingamajig is the answer to my prayers. And as a bonus cute and retro-y.

Is sorta what I needed today after an evening with a constipated cat (I wish I were kidding…). I didn’t really get it, but oh well. Such is life! Until tomorrow, lovelies.

The craziest thing about this Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Ice Cream is that there are, in fact, no actual bagels harmed in the making of it. There is an incredible mix of two ice cream flavors – cream cheese and cinnamon – as well as Jack Daniel’s-soaked raisins and an option to top the finished product with bagel chips. Sounds like something I might create after a night of drinking, um, hot cocoa with friends.

I started seeing bits and pieces of Daryl Banks’ Crinoline Flowers collection a few months ago, but I had no idea who was the mastermind behind these striking, unexpected beauties was. Thanks to brocade design etc, I now know.
I love the idea of a bookplate in every volume on my shelves. They just scream ownership and love to me. Oh, and keep your hands off! These Peanut Butter Bookplates from pink loves brown are adorable and have really great type.

The moment I saw the recipe for this Pink Lemonade Ice Cream I got that puckery feeling in my mouth and started to salivate. And that light pink hue is gorgeous!

Danish designer Louise Campbell’s latest work is modest and amazing: a trio of simple white bone china jars held together with pastel rubber bands. (Each jar comes with six so you can color-code your little heart out!) The storage containers are made by ceramics house Kähler.
