Monday Afternoon Snack.
These Soft Baked Pretzels looks yummy. They aren’t too horrible for you either since they’re baked, you know, if you don’t mind all the carbs.

Koope Cluster Light.
The Koope Cluster Light is a very cool chandelier-type lamp constructed out of bicycle parts and plexiglass that pulls double-duty as a wine glass rack. We can all thank architectural student Philippe Grossenbacher for his perfect-for-small-spaces design. And I can thank swissmiss for showcasing it in the first place.

Twig Jewelry Stands.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I’m an admitted jewelry whore. That combined with my need for organization leaves me looking for a way to store my collection. I don’t really like keeping it all in a jewelry box where I can’t see everything – especially my necklaces because then I end up wearing the same three all the time.
Jewelry stands used to be really popular, but now it seems the only places to find them are flea markets and Claire’s. Besides that, they’re usually gold or pink and fuzzy – neither of which is my style. That’s what made coming across these twig jewelry stands that much more exciting. I love the different tiered levels, giving you a place for clasp bracelets as well as necklaces.

Perfectly Prepped Bath Caddy.
A. Why was there no such thing as PB Teen when I was a teenager?
B. The Perfectly Prepped Bath Caddy is too cool. I’d love to own one.

Chocolat Moderne.
Buying chocolates from Chocolat Moderne might be the secret to dieting. I’m almost positive that if I had these little beauties around versus Hershey’s I’d be more likely to pass on eating them and vie for looking at them instead. Let’s not forget the packaging either. The colors and simplicity of design are perfect for something so decadent.

You&Me.
I drink inordinate amounts of coffee on a daily basis. I haven’t made the Big Switch to espresso yet (and I stress the word yet), but when I do the You&Me espresso machine would be perfect. It’s the smallest in the world, as well as quiet and beautiful. The perfect combination, wouldn’t you agree?

The Art of the Business Card.
Business cards intrigue me for a number of reasons. I love that each and every one (no matter how well designed – or not) is a little keepsake. Something that gives someone or something an identity. I love that of all the graphic pieces out there – and there are so many – business cards have become something that society chooses to express and communicate themselves through. And there is so much more. I’ve kept a collection of cards that stand out to me visually or functionally for as long as I can remember.
Now behold this Flickr gallery, where someone has managed to photograph and post their entire business card collection for the world to see.

Molasses-Spice Cake.
With my favorite time of the year finally upon us, I can’t think of a more perfect fall-like dessert than this Molasses-Spice Cake. Yum.

Brocade Home.
I recently discovered Brocade Home and all they have to offer. These are just a few of the pieces I fell in love with. Be sure and visit them to find loads more.

Apple Wireless Keyboard.
How sexy is the new Apple Wireless Keyboard? It’s been completely redesigned, inside and out and is ultra-thin. It also has new function keys for play/pause, fast-forward and rewind, Expose, and Dashboard. Bluetooth lets you use it anywhere within 30 feet of your Mac. The keyboard automatically powers down when you’re not using it and turns on as soon as you start typing. It also has an on/off switch for when you’re away from your computer for a long time.
Tell me more!
