Let’s change it up a bit, and talk about other things besides food. Just like a lady, when I’m not cooking (or working), I’m usually shopping (or at least browsing around wishing I had money to buy everything I see). Shoes are a known obsession of mine. Anyone who knows me knows this is true—I mean my bridal shower was shoe themed! Well lately I have a new obsession, miniature cooking tools (have you seen those little baby gratin dishes?!) and dinnerware. Actually not just dinnerware, more like anything pretty or fun for your kitchen or dining room table (even though I don’t have a dining room).
I thought I’d share with you some of the great pieces I found at Anthropologie—one of the many stores I stay away from in fear of spending my whole paycheck there. Why do I love their pieces so much? They have such fun patterns and shapes which is definitely a way to bring a little extra happiness to your kitchen (especially when that recipe is really stressing you out or your soufflé falls). Here’s some of my picks this week:
- Farmer’s Egg Crate—I love the color! Who wouldn’t want to see this in their refrigerator when making omelets early on a Saturday morning??
- Chalkboard Spice Jar—Kitchen storage I can show off my calligraphy skills with? Yes, please! ( I mean I’m pretty good with a nib if I do say so myself)
- Painted Amaryllis Measuring Cups—I actually already own these. They were a wedding present from my good friends from college. I love, love, love these (yes mama, I was quoting Pride and Prejudice
) They’re perfect little prep dishes too, and make a really wonderful sound when they clink together. Oh, and they sell a matching butter dish and spoon rest! - Color Tab Measuring Spoons— Well, they wouldn’t be the best at reaching into a deep, narrow jar, but there’s something so playful about the shape and numbers.
