I love collecting sugar and cream sets even though I rarely use them. Suppose I just like how all the pieces work together and their relationships to one another. My latest find? The Trio Sugar and Cream Set. Take ’em apart for tea time and stack ’em up for storage. So, so pretty.

Most well designed bottles fall into one of three product categories: wine, vinegar or olive oil. So it’s really no surprise how lovely Terra Medi’s packaging of their Greek and organic extra virgin olive oil happens to be. They also offer a selection of vinegars, sesame oil, olives, olivades and olive bruschetta. This product line alone calls for open shelving in the kitchen.
It seems like we’ve been waiting for the release date for this homage to the Eames for-ev-er. Can’t wait to grab a sheet. Since I can’t afford any of their furniture, these might be the closest I get to Ray and Charles! Oh, and totally frameable in my opinion.
Aline Yamada is the brains behind the yumi yumi shop. Her style is really quite versatile. And while I prefer the more “cartoon”-ish pieces it’s all beautiful work.
And right now Aline is celebrating her one year anniversary on Etsy and as a Thank You offering a fourth print free with the purchase of three others!
Today I need all the help I can get. My office mate is out on vacation (in Vegas no less, lucky bastard) so I have no one to complain/vent/banter with. I didn’t sleep well last night. And all I can think about are house-related things (like how I didn’t get a fridge this weekend as planned, but did score a $50 lawnmower!).
I just came across the blog Blank is Like Blank (via swissmiss) and am sufficiently distracted. Well done.
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.
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.

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…
