Honey Hive for the Home
This modern clear glass honey jar made me swoon.

One more day, girls!! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSDWlAZ9kA4&feature=related]
I'm especially looking forward to snagging an iconic zigzag knit baby blanket, much like this one.
Can't hardly believe the heat today!! So much for happily heading into autumn...
After a cooler-than-usual Sunday at the beach, and a sudden torrential downpour Sunday evening, I seriously thought the summer heat waves have made their way out yonder. But standing over my kitchen elements today - with no window breeze whatsoever! - frying up Zucchini Fritters with Freida forced me into freezer fest oblivion. Gone were thoughts of garlic spiked sour cream dolloped onto a neat little stack of hot crispy fritters! I dived head first into the cooler treats below freezing; we're now moving on from paper popsicles to their actual frozen forms - retro stylin'.
Stay chilly, my friends.
While this really only works for very modern homes and families, there's no denying any ol' child would love to get busy sorting laundry with one of these! Pre-school classrooms have long been using a method of photo recognition, and more specifically "shadow labeling" i.e. icons, for clean-up time and organizational purposes. Young children seem to learn at a heightened level via visual processing. Coined the Training Dresser by designer Peter Bristol, this locally crafted wooden wonder has me wanting!

Hope you all had a fabulous extended weekend and squeezed out the very last essential drops of summertime - just enough to get you through the year! :)
Labor Day always brings about mixed-emotional nostalgia for me. Sad to see summer go and just-happy-enough to head on straight into autumn. And with the Jewish month heralding a bitter-sweet end to the past 12 months and a brand spankin' new year just around the corner... the seasons turn and I'm ready - bring it!
Anyways, while I devise a plan to enhance my new year and create some tangible resolutions, here are a few things I've been meaning to share with you:
- dinosaur trend; an adorably edgy DIY for your tresses.
- the world via Suri Cruz (been laughing at this all weekend)!!
- cutest-ever lunch labels (PDF) to spice up the brown bag!
- most perfect polish for fall.
- we're currently loving the Green Album!
- most gorgeous 4 piece crib set - still at a measly $71 (!!) someone grab this!
- simple dinner deliciousness!
Hope you're weekend was just lovely!! And best of luck in returning to the trenches....! :)
(P.S. Malibu beach, baby.)
