United States cheese boards
How cool are these United States cheese boards? (As a Michigan girl, I'm psyched that they made a separate piece for the Upper Peninsula!)(Via I Heart You)
Thomas Paul plates
Loving these Thomas Paul plates (along with everything else in the great Maine-based shop Daytrip Society).
Whale tea towel
Fun tea towels can really perk up a kitchen (and they make great presents wrapped around a bottle of wine). I like these friendly whales.P.S. More dish towels.

Tea submarine
Now that I'm not drinking wine, I've returned to my British roots and am drinking tea. Every evening, Alex and I make a steaming pot of cinnamon-y Bengal Spice. So I laughed when I saw this funny submarine tea infuser. Genius!What kind of tea do you like?

Dish towels
When I was little, I felt so bad for my mom when she got things like soap and tea towels for Christmas. How sad! I thought. But now that I'm a grown-up, I understand the appeal. Don't you love these dish towels from Tas-ka?
Wine tip
Last night, I biked over to the lovely Jennifer's house for thai food. I brought a bottle of white wine, but it was warm by the time I arrived. Jen's clever solution? Wrap a wet paper towel around it and stick it in the freezer. Ten minutes later, it was perfectly chilled. Genius!P.S. Plus, my little brother's awesome design tip...
Home Inspiration: Blonde Redhead
Blonde Redhead's apartment appeared in Domino ages ago, but I keep coming back to the photos. Isn't the blue toile wallpaper gorgeous? I love how they make it feel modern and casual by randomly tacking up favorite photos.(Photos from Domino, via Field Guided and Jeana Sohn)
