Sometimes a little humor goes a long way, especially on the floor of a giant trade show. We always look forward to a stop at Fred & Co. - the items are silly (in a good way) and the folks are friendly. We took a few pics of what caught our eye at Fred:

Shown above:

I like the Splash bowl, but is it ceramic? Did it seem really fragile? I'd be worried about the drops on the far side. Otherwise, they'd be great dishes.

I like the candles--perfect for birthday cakes of friends you like to tease are "older than dirt".

I am loving those beer glasses, too. Then again they remind me of one of my favorite Fred purchases... my Calf & Half creamer.

I have the 'calf & half' creamer from fred. It's my guilty pleasure novelty item.

The splash bowl is silicone. i talked to the Fred folks for about 30 minutes at Housewares, really nice people. Hilariously cute, punny items. I love the Flora spatulas. And the circular saw Pizza cutter.

I love that cereal bowl but that knife is sooo creepy. Why, Fred, why?

I love Fred & Co. So unique! My kids love when I add their humorous things to the kitchen! I have the voodoo man toothpick holder... it gets some strange looks. Might have to add that cutting board to my collection!
