Then I came across these little discs which take it a step further. When you’re not using them as a [...]

Here, you can choose your tablecloth’s size and shape and have it custom-made in Colorado. They use only Sunbrella outdoor fabric, and it comes in [...]

The day will soon come when I will organize my kitchen. When I do, I’d like to get some Montana Jars and free my flour and sugar from the pantry. I read about these on one of my new favorite blogs, Stephmodo. Available at Target, or…

Boil your eggs with these natural plant-based dyes for pretty, edible Easter eggs. I think the packaging alone is frame-worthy. If you’re feeling particularly Martha, Whole Foods has some great ideas on how to naturally dye your easter eggs with food items from your kitchen. Nova Natural Toys and Crafts also sells the [...]

I got an email today from Nora Fleming inviting me to take a look at her products. She has come up with such a smart concept, offering a limited selection of white ceramic serving pieces - with holes in them. And to fill those holes, she’s designed a wide range of ceramic pieces called Minis [...]

Happy Valentines Day! I am in such a spring mood these days - must be the gorgeous 70ish weather in Arizona. I’m looking up at the yummy fresh-smelling roses my husband brought home tonight.
