This resin homeware by Dinosaur Designs is amazing. I can just imagine throwing some sort of backyard get-together with this dinnerware as the focal point. The collection is extensive so check out the full line.
Everyone has excess coffee mugs in their cabinets – it’s like they breed in there. I’m no exception, but think I could make room for a few more if they were these sleek designs over at tabletools.

The packaging on Charles Chocolates confections is very tasty. It doesn’t help that Pate de Fruit is one of my favorite things ever and looks so good on this overcast afternoon of officedom.
I’ve been meaning to post about these Paillettes table runners for a while now because I love them. I’m of the opinion that they could be dressed up or down depending on what kind of get-together you’re having. It’s a bonus that they are re-usable and can be either hand-washed or wiped up with a sponge. The runners (63 x 10″) are sold in pairs of color combos: melon/apple or raspberry/blush for $25.
There was a time in my life when I believed that everything kitchen-related should be plastic. I’m happy to have outgrown that phase, however this De Luxe plastic cutlery from Pandora fits right into that mind-set. I’m loving these translucent utensils that have modern-baroque embossing on their handles. Colors available include green, purple, red and blue (apparently no pink, orange, or clear any longer) and are £15 per set.
A designer’s dream layout pad. Pick one up here.
Today may as well have been a Monday because it wasn’t good like Tuesdays generally tend to be. That means I could definitely use a cocktail when I get home tonight and I’m thinking this Bambu white rum is looking particularly yummy. Maybe something end-of-summer like a pina colada (even though I’m not generally a Girly Drink kinda gal). Whatever the drink, this bottle design is incredible. I love the mimicry of the bamboo shoot on the glass. This one would definitely be a keeper after the fact.
I’ve said before how I’m not the type of person to have only one set of dishes. I love design too much and it’s too large a part of me to do so.
I recently discovered Rosanna Inc. where it’s all dinnerware all the time. There are so many amazing patterns and designs to check out that I’m positive I could find at least five sets I’d like to have for myself. Here are some of my favorites. I’m especially into the number and Days of Christmas.
I love this Urchin Orb Pendant from Union Street Glass. The combination of “sparkle and spikes” is mesmerizing. The pendant is available in eleven colors, but I prefer the clear. There are also three different size (large is shown above – 14 x 14″) for sale – $1210 for the large, $715 for the standard and $284 for the mini.
The owners, Guy and Leanne Corrie, use old world glassblowing techniques to create innovative design concepts in a unique art form. Even though the shop has been around since 1980, they still only employ ten people and produce about thirty pieces a day. Contemporary art that’s both beautiful and functional – love it.

I want one. Pronto so I can have it around for the weekend Labor Day festivities.
The Fold Flat BBQ is brilliantly designed, packs super thin and opens up to provide a 45 x 30cm cooking area. Solidly made from pressed steel, the sides provide a built-in wind break. Since it’s so portable you can head out any time you like to BBQ your little heart out. What an amazing contraption that’s so well thought out. And only around $40.
