Sorry I’ve been MIA. It’s not that I don’t want to blog. It’s that my job is too busy and by the time I find a moment to breathe and think about cool items to show you from the web, the day is over and/or my brain is completely fried. I’ve now got a partner [...]

White Wonderfulness
You might think a white vase — indeed a white pottery/porcelain/ceramic anything — would be boring. You would be wrong, as is so clearly shown in these stunning numbers created by Frances Palmer. The clean, white lines create the perfect backdrop for bouquets of any color. Her vases are deliberately asymmetrical, which I just love. [...]
Where to Get Your Retro/Vintage Fix
My colleague Emily sent me a link to this extremely helpful blogpost at Apartment Therapy, which lists some good resources for people looking to begin, augment or browse a vintage- and retro-appliance collection. (There are also energy-efficient “retro” appliances that have the vintage aesthetic you want,as well as the updated technology, which, let’s face it, [...]
Sprout Robot Tells You What You Can Plant in Your Garden
I’d say I’m something short of even a BEGINNER greenthumb. I got this little pre-potted cilantro plant last year and destroyed it when I tried to “harvest” the poor little thing. Which doesn’t give me much authority on the subject of gardening. But I found this site today that gives you a pretty comprehensive list [...]

Top Three Thursdays
One of the reasons I love trolling Etsy each week is because it’s so inspiring to see what’s out there. Take this wicker headboard for sale at Rhapsody Attic. Now it would be lovely as a headboard. But it’s also cool as a piece of art. It’s being sold “as is,” which means no foot [...]
Pillow Talk
It’s winter and frankly been a fairly snowless one, making our landscape here in the Northeast just one big blob of gray and leafless trees. It’s a little depressing, frankly. So I’ve been thinking about inexpensive ways to spruce up our indoors since that’s where we’re spending so much time. Pillows are always a quick [...]
Top Three Thursdays
A little pottery to kick off today’s Top Three Thursdays on Etsy, my favorite virtual department store. How cute is this mini bowl from Jill Rosenwald? At 6″ wide and 3″ high, it’s the perfect size for a dish of your favorite whatever — yogurt? ice cream? fresh fruit? And it’s dishwasher and microwave-safe so [...]
