how doth the little busy bee...

I have a love for all things bees.  My parents live in the Beehive state and I have had a fascination with how hard and harmoniously bees work together and persevere.  I have a beautiful Dogeared bee necklace which stands for "Accomplish Magnificent Things" and I was even a bee keeper for Halloween last year.  When I walked into Williams-Sonoma {also known as one of my favorite places on earth} the other day I saw a beautifully put together table top filled with servingware and glassware representing all things BEES!  So darn cute.  Those glass tumblers so have my name on them.  Oh , if I only had a home....

cake stands

Loving these cake stands from Wheel & Barrow.  I'm feeling the urge to entertain....

plates, bowls, etc.

While making a late night run to Target for some essentials to clean what feels to be a grimy hotel room (yuck) I noticed two dinnerware lines that were so darn cute. That Target can really get me missing having a house!!!

If you love blue and white china (and I do) this line is pretty sweet. There's also a great bowl from this line that I can't find on the website. Check it out!

























I love the mix and match opportunities with this smart line. Love the orange/blue combo.

wisteria lane

These glass cloches from Wisteria are just lovely.

funny

I think this is funny.

etsy love: whitney smith

Her work is gorgeous. Here are a few favorites from her shop.

portion control

I like these nesting measuring bowls from Anthropologie. I should use the smallest one each time I feel like a little ice cream {and occaisionally end up eating half the pint.}

stellar stoneware

Love these fun stoneware dishes from Basic French. Would look super cute at tea time with this red teapot from The English Tea Store.

john derian

Saw this on Habitually Chic and now am super obsessed. I really want a buffet and hutch to display all of these lovelies. John Derian....I'm coming in soon.

goin' fishing

I remember the day I stumbled into Fish's Eddy for the first time here in the NYC. I fell in love immediately. It was a love affair that continues to last and last. Here are my recent favs...can't you just see some awesome after school snacks on the memo series? I would have loved that as a kiddie. And I always love a little Alice. Look at that great drinking glass!

don"t throw it away, that's not tin foil!

I saw this on DesignMom and really like it! I have an obsession with serving platters and pieces. I really like this Lorena Barrezueta take on the tin foil/take-out/throw-away pieces. Love the colors!

garden glassware

I like these graphic garden tumblers from Pottery Barn.

posh was always my favorite spice girl

Read about P.O.S.H. first at Oh Happy Day. Soooooo many lovelies to choose from. I particularly want the french caraffe and glass for either bedside or my desk.
