Sometimes I feel so lucky to have come across a certain artist or product because it literally makes my heart skip a beat and go pitter-patter. That’s how I felt when I first laid eyes upon the beautiful photographic work of Amy Stein. Her Domesticated series had me talking out loud to myself about how perfect the lighting was and how beautifully exquisite every single image turned out.
These Strawberry Lime Tartelettes are adorable. And if they taste half as good as they look? Well, we’ll be in really good shape. Anyone have the recipe for those fantastic plates they’re dished up on?

A good mind trick is the best – like these sugar cubes shaped like chocolates from atypyk. Love it.
My question is what took so long for someone to come up with the idea for the coffee bag? Those trays that beverages are normally put in for “easy” transportation are nothing but a dry cleaning bill waiting to happen! But let’s be honest, one stiff breeze and those napkins are history.

Strawberries. Walnuts. Sour cream. Potatoes. Definitely not three things I’d put together on your average day. But the recipe for these Strawberry Walnut Cakes with Sour Cream and Potato Dough looks delish. I’d probably opt out of the walnuts and replace them with something like almonds instead. But that’s just me.

Breath Palette carries toothpaste and mouthwash in 18 different flavors, and I’m not talking cinnamon or mint. Try Monkey Banana, White Peach and Pumpkin Pudding – just to name a few. Every flavor is guaranteed to leave your mouth feeling clean and fresh with a menthol finish. The flavors are created using infused oils so your grill won’t be left tasting like day old espresso.

I can’t read a word on the site, but one thing is for sure – the Fold Flat Chair is brilliant. I say we mutiny again those horrible gunmetal grey folding chairs and fill banquet halls worldwide with these. They’re so perfect I doubt legs would even stick to them. At least here’s to hoping…
The recipe for this Rustic Strawberry Tart looks ridiculously easy and versatile. (Not to mention drool-worthy.) Shove anything in the easy little crust and you have an instant dessert. According to the chef you can even go the savory route. And the best part? It’s not even that horrible for you.
