Several months ago I purchased a few reusable mesh produce sacks with drawstring cords from my local supermarket. They are made by Earthwise Bags. I am pleased to find that these bags have been doing a great job keeping my produce neatly separated in each of my fridge drawers. When I first began keeping house, …
Godinger Cupcake Sweet Shoppe Candy Dish
It’s finally here, my Godinger cupcake Sweet Shoppe candy dish. It’s a good size for candy, cotton balls, Q-tips, lip balms, etc. I ordered it from Beyond the Rack, on sale, of course. It’s really cute, measures ~ 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.2 inches, and weighs 2.5 lbs. (feels fairly heavy but I don’t mind …
Keep in Mind Lovely Soaps & Such for Your Kitchen…
My recent trip to the NY Botanical Garden’s bookstore led me to a luscious table laden with prettily packaged kitchen and garden soaps by Horto Botanico with the most delicious scents. As much as one’s pantry needs to be well-stocked with food and drink, so too are soaps and the like as important. The kitchen …
American Country Home Store
I was looking for Comptoir de Famille table linens a couple years back and discovered American Country Home Store was one of their many stockists. I also love ACHS’ beautiful yet quaint cottage furniture. Their website is definitely worth a gander. *Photocredit: American Country Home Store
Hillhouse Naturals
I always find wonderful little treasures at the New York Botanical Garden’s book/gift store. This time I picked up a Hillhouse Naturals Bloom sachet for my closet. It’s an enduring floral fragrance. Love it! It’s the best sachet I’ve ever purchased. Please visit their website. They carry a wide selection of home fragrance products such …
Nifty Cutting Boards
I saw these Core Bamboo cutting boards yesterday and wanted to blog about them. Really great for a serious cook who wants a well-equipped kitchen beyond basics or has lots of extra storage space in his/her pantry or basement. I have to pick and choose what’s the most important me. Space is of the essence. …
Rediscovering Blue Q
Included with my recent Tracy Porter ring purchase, was a Blue Q “I Love You” pack of gum (sort of like Chiclets). Of course I had to take a quick look at their website and realized that it was a carrier of lines which I’ve loved in the past. The brands I’m referring to are …
Symphonie Etched Glass
Love these etched glasses by Comptoir de Famille! I don’t believe that casual diningware or the like must match. I already have the ones by Tord Boontje and wouldn’t mind owning these as well. Both are handwash only, which doesn’t matter to me since I get to enjoy their beauty- well worth it! *Photocredit: Cambria …
Pretty Dinnerware & Glasses
I love Horchow’s Fleur de Lis dinnerware! It’s accented with textural fleurs-de-lis, made in Portugal, handcrafted in soft tones of pale blue or cafe au lait, and dishwasher and microwave safe. I am still using my Sango Nova Brown set and like it very much, but I can’t deny the Horchow set is really pretty. …
