I’ve been a loyal follower of Skinny laMinx’s (aka Heather Moore’s) blog for some time now, but only recently hopped over to her etsy shop to check out the goods. And all I can say is wow. I’m not exaggerating when I say I love her hand-cut magnets more than any other magnet I’ve seen. Ever. In my entire life. My favorite has to be the hydrangea on the right.
If vintage one-of-a-kind things are what you dig, look no further than Paris Hotel Boutique. PHB takes the muss and fuss (i.e. flea market and thrift stores) out of the equation and gives you the missing pieces you may not have even known you’ve been searching for. Painted furniture, hotel silver, French souvenirs – if you’re after it, chances are they have it.
Hostess cupcakes are right up there on the dessert totem pole for this girl, so imagine how my heart skipped a beat when I came across this Giant Hostess Cupcake by Nicole of Baking Bites via yumsugar. My birthday is in a month and I would looove for someone to whip one of these babies. Hint, Hint…
While checking out design for mankind’s fabulous blog yesterday, I came across The Macbeth Collection and their beautiful trays. Turns out the trays are only the tip of the iceberg, my friends, because they have a great selection of metalware. I’m totally lusting after the bins, pitcher and wastebaskets.
This shirt is fantastic because it’s so, so true. I love that type can be so deceptive.
Shirt reads: This paragraph could be talking about poop and pee but at first glance you wouldn’t know because it’s executed in the beautiful Bickham Script. If you didn’t know any better, you would think I’m talking about girly stuff like butterflies or flowers. Lame.

This beautiful chest of drawers from Anthropologie has a secret – it’s really a cabinet. Open the door to find five shelves, four of which are adjustable. I would love to have this piece to use as an armoire for sweaters and winter clothing.
Yes, it’s possible to fall in love with an innanimate object. the Staub teapot fuses Japanese style with a removable infusion ball and locking stainless handles that actually hold the lid in place. There’s nothing worse than pouring hot water out of a teapot only to have the scolding hot lid fall off against your hand. Kudos to Staub for remedying this in a gorgeous way.

Fabulous Stationary has some, ahem, fabulous new modish-retro notecards. A set just might make a great housewarming/hostess/ wedding gift.
I have to do a quick plug for Table fifty-two in Chicago. My cousin, Sari, helped (Oprah’s) Chef Art Smith open it recently and I’ve heard nothing but amazing things thus far. It’s located at 52 W. Elm Street if you’re interested!
