Not Just for Holding Your Sandwich Together
Check out Sword ‘Oeuvres. They’re those cute little swords you find holding your mile high deli sandwich together or for jabbing those olives for your martini — only larger and flatter. Next time you’re at a party and really want to spread some fancy dip onto your cracker or piece of toast, one of these should come in handy. I still prefer finger foods myself.

Tea Time
I really like this teabag teaspoon cup and saucer set. For one thing, the black on white always grabs my interest. Additionally, I love the sketch/hand decorated look. Very organic. Very pretty.

Smart History
I pretty much love this site: Smarthistory.org. Forget those expensive art books, this is your go-to online art history textbook. I could spend hours on this interactive site. Too cool.

Bullies Beware
Anti-theft lunch and sandwich bags. What a novel idea. The creator must have had rough times in the cafeteria growing up. Payback is sweet. Goodbye Sharpies. Here’s the new way to mark your items in the office fridge.

Paris Subway
The continuation of my obsession with subway maps – Part II. I was browsing Design Sponge and this pretty variation on a map sparked my interest. This Parisian subway art map brings back many fond memories of traveling across the city last autumn.

I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Smittens. What a cute idea. Now you can keep your digits warm while holding the hand of the one you love.


If you are relatively skilled at knitting, try your luck with the pattern and directions at cocoknits.

Shark Tea Infuser
A nice twist on the tea infuser. Probably would work best aesthetically with a red tea such as Rooibos.
