Holiday Servingware

Did you have a fantastic Thanksgiving?  I sure did!  Nice and relaxing!  With the holiday season upon us I've been thinking lots about serving dishes.  Here's a few I found that would work great!



Retro porcelain tray from ClaySwan.



Red Bird Plates from Pier One.



Mustache Mug Set



Jason Polan plates from West Elm.

Turkey Plates

Wow.  I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. It's strange how having a baby can put everything in slow-mo as well as fast forward, both at the same time.

We have family coming into town, and I would love to have these or these at the table.  {I'm pretty sure papa and grandma would just gobble them up}.





Don't you just love a personalized touch to a table setting?

Check out many more options at Hull's Happiest Days Designs.  I really love their wedding plates, they would make great gifts!

If you're not quite sure how to set a table properly, check out this post I did last year, Table Settings 101.

Are you hosting Thanksgiving at your house, or going somewhere?

I like: Dinnerware

With Thanksgiving right around the corner (I can say that now, right, since it's November?!?) I've been thinking a lot about dishes and place settings.  Here are a few that I'd love to add to my collection:



Metallic Leaf Dessert Plates from West Elm



Dessert Pedestal from Burlap and Blue


Olivier Flatware Set from Crate and Barrel



Fleur De Lys Dinner plate from Anthropologie

Take a Number

I've sure been seeing numbers everywhere - especially on kitchenware.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am working on them with my 2 year old so I'm just noticing numbers more.

Cocktail Napkins via Wisteria

Numerical Canisters via Target

Numbered Placemats via Felt & Wire

Numbered Plates via Christopher Jagmin

I really like all the black and white.  What do you think?

Picnic In Style

Who doesn't love a good picnic this time of year?  No fear!  You can picnic in style with these great accessories!

Insulated Picnic Basket from Elite Picnic Backpacks.

Dotty Spot Picnic Basket from Eurocosm.

Green Geometric Picnic Blanket from Kamunson.

Don't forget the homemade watermelon lemonade, in an Slom glass bottle from IKEA.

Enjoy!

Designer Inspiration: Elise Lefebre

I've always loved ceramic dishware.  I love that it can easily be chunky or light and the different glaze colors just make me swoon.  Imagine my delight when I found Elise Lefebre and her work!  Modern ceramic pieces in great colors, as well as another collection of all white that's classy and simple, all at the same time!  Gorgeous!

A New Door

Have I told you how much I love twitter?  Sometimes I make my best discoveries there.  I stumbled upon Crestview Doors this last week and immediately feel in love.  Look at these beautiful doors.

Don't you just want to run out and replace your front door now?

Ode to Pyrex

I have a standard set of Pyrex in my kitchen that I use pretty much every time I'm in there!  Purely functional and not all that nice to look at:

Pyrex 2-Cup Measuring Cup

I'm thinking I'll have to add some of these lovely vintage Pyrex pieces to my collection because not all my Pyrex has to be purely functional!

Retro Green Pyrex Glasses from Ax and Apple

Turquoise Blue Snowflake Dish from So Fetch Vintage

Square Flowers Dish from Comfuzzled

Woodland Brown Cups from Corrnucopia

And what's best about all these is that they would look right at home in any modern kitchen today!
