Located in New York’s SoHo, Global Table houses a carefully edited selection of dishes and accessories from around the world with an emphasis on simple lines and finishes. Right now I’m digging this pitcher ($30 – blue please!), cup (n/a) and tea set ($70).
Odette’s jewelry is beautiful, modern, and timeless all the same. It seems like the sort of jewelry every girl should have in her possession, pieces that can be dressed up or down. My favorites are these Swallow ($160) and Jellyfish ($172) necklaces. They seem delicate to look at but are actually substantial in size – 3″ and 2.5″ wide. Both pieces are a part of the Merric Collection.
These glass raindrops from Smith & Hawken are like little frozen drops of goodness. They would look fantastic as tree or wreath decorations during the holidays, but I think I’d put them somewhere cool – like hanging on a chandelier or from a porch ceiling. When the light catches them they would look incredible.
Fallen – “prefectly imperfect” – vodka is selling the idea that imperfection is so much more interesting than perfection – and in a vodka, that equates to a much more complex taste than we’re used to. Not only that, but it’s available in three different forms: first, The Innocent – smooth, with distinct rum overtones; then The Hero – clean, powerful and rather zingy; finally, The Outlaw, which can only be described as like tequila, but actually drinkable. And when you’re finished with the bottle, you don’t want to toss it because it’s a piece of art in itself. Cheers!
It’s been a while since I’ve come across any stationary that’s been really different. Don’t get me wrong, I love quite a bit of what’s out there, but there has been an area that’s lacking. And that area is modern design. That’s where Fabulous Stationary picks up the slack and creates some amazing work. Take a look for yourself.
From WIRED magazine. Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves. Check it out.
My favorite:

These Anamorphic Cups by designer Ross McBride are really incredible. The stainless steel cup has a polished mirror finish. The porcelain saucer is printed with distorted images or words. These graphics can only be viewed correctly though the curved, reflective surface of the cup. The image is indecipherable when the cup and saucer are separate. The Anamorphic Cups are the first in the Anamorphic Series range of products. Future items will include a creamer and sugar dispenser, and drinking glasses. Salt and pepper shakers are already available.
I can’t seem to locate a retailer for cups or shakers, though I know they are available for purchase. If I come across one in the future I’ll make an update.
Posted In grand design, kitchenI love these wedding invitations by Abby Jean Press. Beautiful use of color combinations and type. Let’s put it this way: if I received one of these in the mail for a rodeo, which I despise, it would make me want to go to even that.
I’m in love. With a mailbox. That may sound wrong, but it feels so, so right.
The No. 10 Letterbox mailbox by PureDesigner is gorgeous (especially the brushed aluminun which isn’t pictures here). It’s severely unfortunate that they’ve been sold out since February and the site only holds empty promises of remanufacturing them (they’ve been bought out by houseArt).
Sigh…

The site is in German and the three years of the language that I took in high school are failing me. So I can’t tell you what it’s for or about, but i can tell you the obvious: that is that it’s beautiful.
