Love & Leftovers

Thought I'd share this great little plastic plate that you can pick up at Target for 94¢ - it was featured for Valentines day, so it's on clearance. Really cute though, and the colors are muted so it doesn't stick out like a kids plastic eye-sore : )

Photographed this; what was on Freida's plate when she started spitting out her food (she generally spits out food when she is done/full), this was after 2 bites of her favorite breakfast! Nothing more aggravating for a mom than working on a meal for your little loved one only to have them spit it out repeatedly, refusing to consume a bit! This is how breakfast, lunch, and dinner go in our household from the time she starts teething until that little tooth breaks...!! We're currently just over the upper fangs, dreading the lower ones that are evidently coming closer each day, and trying to figure out a way to get some sustanance into her tiny little body during the teething process...!

New @... Anthropologie kids

Here's a small selection of some of my favorite sweet little things for kids - new at Anthropologie. Check out the collection here. How lovely??

Purim Basket: Biscotti

Wishing you all the most happiest Purim!!

Here's my take on this year's shalach manos:

The labels read,"Cinnamon Chocolate Biscotti - here's to the last of winter's cozy tea-times...".

Thought it'd be fun to shake things up a bit (everyone will be getting plenty of pre-packaged hamantashen, wine, and candies) - so I decided to give out some goodies that I know I would love to receive! Made some yummy biscotti (recipe forthcoming!), added a few bags of Organic Chai Tea, and wrapped it up with some craft raffia (i had leftover from Freida's birthday bubbles) - creating a simple, last minute, totally, deliciously-cozy purim-basket re-vamp! : )

(had to throw in some pre-wrapped chocolate in order for it to actually constitute as a purim mitzvah...)

P.S Mason Jars totally rock!!

PARTY HARDY!!!

Rock-a-buy!

I'm thinking it's quite ESP of me to have posted that 20th Century Seating last week.... When my husband came home one night recently with a big box he called an "awesome surprise", I was rather skeptical. Funny how they seem to shock us with their perfect timing, just as we begin to think that there's no way they know what we want - here you have it - he unveils this wickedly awesome Eames Arm Shell Rocker (!), something I had coveted since I was a wee little girl... Mr. Levy, you simply rock (especially when über awesome gifts are involved)!!! : )

P.S. Craigslist - BNIB!! Doesn't get any better...!

Threw some Anthropologie pillows (that I had since 10th grade) on it for now, but I'm looking for something a bit more special, a little less color... Hmmm, let the search begin!

English Gardens

March 14, 2010 is a specially marked day on my calendar - Liberty of London is launching their new line for Target!! I so love the collaboration concept that has struck our retail industries; so many fabulous designers bringing ultra-hip pieces to the masses via affordable outlets. From Jimmy Choo for H&M to Blu Dot for Urban Outfitters - the possibilities are endless!! Liberty of London is joining in on the action next month, plastering their iconic english floral prints across the isles of a Target near you - just in time for spring!!!
