Olive oil dishes by Mary Judge

I'm posting this on AT:LA today, but wanted to share it here too. I just love the simple graphic beauty of these olive oil dishes by Mary Judge. The gradation effect is achieved due to the concentric rings, and what depth the oil is at. They were inspired by the terraced olive groves in Italy. My friend Em bought one last holiday while we were visiting A+R, and I secretly am kicking myself for not getting one then. However, you can still get one now, right here ($18) at Lekker Home.

Blue Munday: Breakfast at... Sears?

"Tiffany" blue, so iconic, so soothing, so lovely. It automatically conjures up so many images and associations of fancy living and one "very stylish girl." I spotted this surprisingly elegant dinnerware set at Sears. Crisp white china, with chrome/silver lines and "tiffany" light blue edge. The whole set is $119.99. Currently the website says it's out of stock, but I saw these in-store, and they looked quite nice and solid actually. I particularly loved the matching teapot, sugar bowl, and there was also a tablecloth (not shown) and some fun napkins. It's part of Sears's "Everyday Luxe" collection, and comes in a black/white version too.

Snap Cups

Over the weekend, saw this post on INV/ALT design on D*S, which featured these fun plates/platters that used recycled dishware, but it also led me to the "snap cups" that she (Angela Schwab) makes. She takes the "mix and match" concept to a whole other level! Each set comes with extra snaps and epoxy, so you can snap them anywhere, and there's all kinds of attatchments that snap to it. More info here, and get them here.

Butterflies Attack!

I don't have many (if any) butterflies in my home, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate their beauty. (Although, as I've mentioned, don't look toooo close at them!...) Anyway- the other day I noticed that the Isaac Mizrahi collection at Target has brought out a new design for their bedding collection. A pretty graphic pattern of scattered butterflies paired with a nice mossy green polka dot print.
And if you happen to have your bed in the same room as you eat, you could use these somewhat matching (but still goregous) dinnerware set from Anthropologie.

Kmart: flora dinnerware

Stopped by Kmart last week, and noticed they had some lovely new dinnerware, from good ol' Martha. I was particularily attracted to these two sets of flora themed designs. These chocolate brown line branchy drawings looked almost black, and I also really liked this pretty blue sponge-y leaf print. It felt so very... french countryside-ish... kinda. but modern....rustic?

Both 16 piece sets are only $39.99!
