Japanese Cast Iron Kettle in White, Blue & Orange

Just discovered poketo.com and all of its gorgeous “art for your everyday” items. Of course, there are so many things I’d love to share, but I thought I’d just focus on one item in particular that caught my eye—this Japanase Enamel Kettle.

I seem to love so many things connected to tea, but I don’t actually drink a lot of it.

Distracted by a Buffet, and a Bunch of Other Stuff

The last few months it’s been a real struggle to keep up with blogging regularly. Between moving, my full-time job, freelance commitments, and a part-time teaching gig, I’m fully booked. Blah, blah, blah. Woe is me. 

However, my current distraction is my new buffet and hutch. I’ve filled it with a lot of stuff and will continue to do so… with any luck. It’s currently housing my eclectic mix of dinnerware and I’m still figuring out how to piece it all together.

Love-ly Bowls for Valentine’s Day

I’m not really into pink, nor am I that big on Valentine’s Day, but these bowls are precious. I like how the patterns are reversed so you can get the pink hearts on the inside of the bowl or the outside.

Techno Plates from CB2

I think it’s fair to say that I’m a little excited about the upcoming opening of CB2 inToronto. For the past year, I’ve checked their website often just to see when the store would be opening. The dates have moved quite a bit, but it’s finally opening this month. Woo!!

Anyway, this blog is about home wares, right? So, I digress. Recently added to the CB2 website, these funky Techno plates. As you can see they look great when paired with simple and classic whites. 

And what a steal at $4.95 a piece!
