Awe…sweet little dainty cups.  Found through house 42.

Maybe these snazzy hangers will help get you motivated for all those weight loss resolutions.

Hope you’re feeling the love the holiday season. Aren’t these L.O.V.E. pears adorable?! Made by the etsy artists La Pomme. We leave tomorrow for Arizona where we will be spending Christmas with my family.  Hopefully time away will help us come back re-energized to find a home!!!

A great way to spruce up your sticky-notes: with fruit!  From Japan company.  If you can read Japanese, you can by them here.

They even come packaged with the little protective jacket that the Asains use with their fancy packaging.

Oh French Paper, love your cleverness. Could be a fun gift…

Some might think this a little extreme, but I’ve had a lot of requests…coming from the husbands of course. Now, we’ve never gotten a Karim Rashid designed bathtub; but we have placed the bathroom TV in an armoire for their soaking pleasure.  We gotta give the husbands what they want too!

Can you tell my office is cold? I’m drawn to all things warm and cozy today.  And these adorable lamp sweaters do the tricks.  Designed by Lise Lefebvre for Aparment Therapy’s Design Showcase.

Cute new letterpress note cards by Linda and Harriett.  I like the story behind their inspiration:

For this card, Liz was inspired by a drawn curtain feature in the opening credits of the movie, Coraline.  What I ended up putting on paper looked more like crystal chandeliers in a fancy ballet theatre - but it still has that draping, theatrical, regal look I was first drawn to in the movie.

Pretty cute.  From it’s website:

Looks like an egg. Feels like an egg. Must be an egg, right? Wrong! An eggling is actually a totally ingenious, self-contained little herb garden. Crack open this ceramic little wonder, add water, and Voila! Fresh herbs!

Made of a soft soy wax and tinted with mineral powders, Crayon Rocks come in vibrant colors and make beautiful textures.

Feeling European.  Thought I’d post about these beautiful cookies. Do you eat these? They look too perfect. By Sweet Ambs shop.

I bet a lot of people get water up their nose when drinking from this waterfountain.  

Maybe now I can join the other neighborhood moms now.  I bet Pixi would love to be pushed around.

We were going to get this for a client’s home: but then realized the price: $14,123.

Some of the key features:

-The musical chime “Le Bon Roi Dagobert” begins playing as the lid is raised

-Includes full set of accessories including candleholder and ashtray

-A tug on the pull chain activates the flush, accompanied by the ringing of a bell

-Constructed entirely from ash wood and decorated with hand painted Moustier Polychrome designs

APRIL FOOLS!!!!! Real Toilet though.

One of my BFFs is in town planning her wedding.  Tara, these are cute.

Maybe I’d use the kitchen more if I had a fun vintage oven and burner by Aga.  Fun.

I should have gotten this card from Art School Girl for Mick for V-Day.  

Doesn’t the image on this cup remind you of the illustrations from the Shel Silverstien book The Giving Tree? 

Each cup in this set is slightly different to resemble the different seasons.  Pretty fun.

I’m thinking of doing this for my grandpa.
