The Tablo tray and stand are a beautiful example of form and function. I love bringing varied heights to the table for serving – especially during parties – because it really mixes things up visually. And best of all the stands are available in two different heights to do just that.
Anthropologie is tops in my book for more reasons than I can name, but my favorites always tend to be in their kitchenwares. I’ve mentioned before how if I had all the kitchen gadgets, dinnerware, etc that I was lusting after I’d need a room the size of an entire house. I’ve already got more than enough, but keep finding more! Here are just a few new pieces that I’m after from the Big A.
Waitrose is a supermarket chain in England that combines the convenience of an ordinary supermarket with the expertise and service of a specialty shop. Freshness and quality of foods are number one and they take it to the bank with their own in-house line of “generic” goods. Nothing new there, but what is different is the quality of design apparent in every Waitrose branded product. I saw their products in the latest Communication Arts and was really impressed.
As a child Memory was one of my very favorite games. I’m loving this version.
“Maharam has been a pioneer in commercial fabric designs since 1902, bringing stunning patterned materials to the table. Now those patterns are available through the Maharam Memory Game. Like the classic memory game, players turn over two cards at a time and try to match the patterns. Consisting of 72 cards on heavy stock, richly colored and printed in Germany, the game features 36 different patterns.”

I once swore that I would never again purchase a piece of furniture that required assembly. Then I saw the FUSION table and chairs set and all that went out the window. I am obsessed with these pieces and the space-saving quality of the chairs neatly tucking under the table. It’s the perfect mix of retro and modern design. Now I only need to find a good reason to get rid of my perfectly functional current table and chairs!
An architect’s multitiered supply caddy inspired this vintage carousel organizer. My desk would look so hot with one of these adorning it. Not to mention that it would make things that are stuffed away in drawers a lot more accessible.

The moment I saw these Caramel Apple Pie Cupcakes in my feed reader this morning I wanted to leave work to run home and make them. Oh my.
I’ve been craving chocolate all day, so when I saw Brix Chocolate I was overcome by my craving and the great packaging by mod. It’s chocolate for wine lovers which instantly put thoughts of a glass of red and a fireplace into my mind. We’re supposed to get snow tonight and I can think of nothing more relaxing than couching it with some wine and chocolate.

Glazed always does it for me. Glazed donuts? Awesome. Glazed kitchenwares? Equally incredible. These Bijoux cake stands from Clara French Ceramiques look like someone dumped easter egg dye over them and then decided to just let it go.
