book. Thanks to Oh Joy, I found this book at Present & Correct. The one on the site is sold out but I may have to hunt one down on the internets. I love the design and I seriously need some advice on cake decoration. My cupcakes often look like a 2 year old frosted them.
Keeping bread fresh can be a thing of debate in our house. Paper, plastic, wax paper? This would solve it all with style. Alessi Bread Bin from Conran.

I'm still in the process of a redesign, naturally these things take longer than usual and to top it all off things have been busier in other areas of my life. As I work through how I want my blog to look and feel, I'm going to post every now and then since I miss it so!
Here are few things for the home that have caught my eye over the past few months:
You know those people at work who always use other people's stuff from the refrigerator? You do...everyone has one. My coworker saw another coworker go into our refrigerator at work the other day and use her salad dressing. At least if you're going to use it, be sneaky about it right?
I would love to find/design some sort of signage - maybe even on a really cool rubber band like the ones at Russell and Hazel, that says:
Please don't eat me!
For <insert name>, not for you!
Hands off!
Did you make me? No? Then go away.
You get the idea.
On another note, I love SFGirlbyBay's post on Le French Bull. Such pretty melamine plates, utensils, etc. These are some of my favorites:

I had no idea such a cool place like Basic French was located in Red Hook Brooklyn...I can't wait to check it out!
Oh yes the weekend has arrived. Not just any weekend, it's the weekend - the weekend of birthday champions, the weekend that happens every year without fail for the past five years - the weekend where B, N, and I celebrate our birthdays in style with all of our friends. Now I just have to figure out what to wear. : )
In the meantime here are some lovely things:
A pretty bird at She Loves Stars:
And beautiful things at Olive and Fig:

Thanks to design*sponge and decor8 for the tip.
These bake and serving dishes are so pretty and "are inspired by century old designs of tiles and pottery from Spain"- from Chantal. I'd love to have some for my kitchen.
