Known for its collection of eclectic wares, SkyMall Magazine can always be counted on to alleviate in-flight jitters. As we flipped through its pages, however, we realized that some items aren't pure...
Wedding season is already underway - we've attended two so far, with three more to go this summer. One of the recent registry gifts we bought for our friends was this 3-in-1 Bamboo Board and Serving...
While many claim the modern wing or the Thorne Rooms as their favorite spots in the Art Institute of Chicago, we admit we’re quite fond of the Asian and Ancient Americas galleries. On a not so recen...
Janel's post on Mrs. Meyers' booth at the 2008 Home and Housewares Show reminded us of our love for kitchen linens. We're suckers for patterned dish towels, which we like to use as guest cloths in t...
We owe a great big Thank You to AT readers, Molly and Pam, for introducing us to The Sweden Shop. This quaint but unbelievably roomy shop is a wonderland of Scandinavian home design. It's expected...
We've got a loaf pan that we use for pretty much everything but baking. It's been our mail sorter, our catch-all in the kitchen, and once in a blue moon we've made banana bread in it. For the full l...
Tagines are serving dishes used in Moroccan cuisine. The conical shape allows food to retain heat without trapping moisture. They're also very smart looking (this is the Le Creuset version, availabl...
Serious gadget lust. Even though Stelton makes accessories for the kitchen, their 2008 catalog looks more like something from the Sharper Image...streamlined fondue sets, candlesticks that look like...
This set has been in my family for years. When I finally inherited the primary-colored nesting bowl set, it felt great and they have served me well. After a quick eBay search, the bowls show up in abu...
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. You cover all 3 R's when you shop at most thrift stores: 1) reducing the amount of packaging and energy that goes into production, 2) reusing old items, 3) recycling someone ...
When you need a little color kick sometimes a vase or a bookend is just enough. We spotted lots of color in small doses at the MCA Store, including this Circle Worktop Saver ($29). Created from heat...
We got these lemon and lime hand juicers as a present. We've used them to make citrus dressings and lemon shandies, and we love them. In fact, we're thinking of buying them for a couple of our frien...
Ramekins are cute, and these little dishes from Emile Henry (4 for $23.95 at cooking.com) are no exception. But we have to admit it's not often that we break out the torch and make creme brulee in...
Transporting a grill, even a mini Weber, to the park is messy and cumbersome (though we will continue to do it on occasion because we don't feel the need to own more than one grill). But the City Boy...
Tea towels with great designs keep popping up lately. We're mostly in the plain white towel camp, but those get super dirty, super fast, so it's good to see some fun patterns and lively colors on fabr...
These are cute. Designed by Lola Goldstein in 2005, these Salt and Pepper Shakers ($22.) are being offered online for a limited time in the United States by the MoMA store as part of the Destination ...
High-end kitchen design company Bulthaup makes some really nice, gloriously simple accessories. We don't even want to know what they cost, we'll just admire them and dream... ...
New from Fosters: a very colorful coffee/tea press. I can absolutely picture a coffee pot like this on the table in my childhood home, except it would have had an extension cord snaking out from it ...
A simple item that makes a big difference. This cookbook holder is one of our favorite cooking tools. Affordable ($9.95), easy to store (it folds) and not bad looking (shiny!), we can see no reason ...
We use our teapot everyday and love it. We have had this Bee House teapot for years and it is simply the absolute perfect size. It has a built in loose tea holder for when we go the fancy route, or ...
