Spun Vinyl Runners

Description

Now how gorgeous is this?! Not only are they beautiful, but with the colors available, one is sure to compliment whatever color of wood or other table surface you have.

ALLLLSSOOOO it acts as a grippy surface... in case... your dining table is... ON A BOAT! No bowls or plates slipping around for your dinnertime boat fun!

This is really beautiful and unique. I'm in love again.

Pigeon vessels

First to recommend

Description

Continuing the white ceramic animal trend feels dirty, but how can I resist recommending this set of outstandingly adorable pigeon vases? They're chubby! They're stoic! They await your plumes and buds with this most loyal and formal stance...

I can't help but think they look more like penguins than pigeons, but who really cares. They're just delicious.

dustbin for toilet time

Description

Do you read when you're on the can? I don't, but I know many people do, and that's why I got a chuckle (and then a head-tilt and a 'hmmm!') out of this great design from Snowtone. How appropriate a reading surface?

This kind of product makes me realize I need a day of the week just to go around my house, doing normal tasks, then ask myself questions like, "what would make my life the tiniest bit better right now?" Then maybe I too would be a wealthy gal.

I like this very much. (via mocoloco.com)

grocery bag holder

First to recommend

Description

I don't know anyone who DOESN'T have this problem... except for my super-conscious friends who always have their canvas bag on hand for any spur of the moment supermarket trips.

"BAGS, BAGS, BAGS -- WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THOSE BAGS?"
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjQ9D5JIcfM )

But really, folks. We all know there are tons of ways to recycle those plastic shopping bags, but where do you keep them in the meantime? If you're like us, we stuff many small bags into a larger bag then hang it somewhere out of sight, because it is afterall... unsightly. Then my better half doesn't realize I have a bag of bags started in some closet, so he starts his own bag of bags. Pretty soon, everytime you open a door in our house, a bag of bags flies off the doorknob on the other side. It's like a bad sketch comedy.

The wonderful thing about this bag holder from Simplehuman is that is is also beautiful and disguises it's function in slickery. Added bonus would be if you already have stainless steel appliances in your kitchen, then wa-la! It's like a bag chameleon! (via typepad.com)

The Perry Bible Fellowship

Description

This serial comic strip from a man named Nicholas in NY could possibly be one of the most charming, tragic, and hilarious little tidbits of genius I've seen in quite a while.

Though I don't see a pattern in how often the comics are updated, it's something I check in on with anticipation at least a couple times a week (and am delighted in a new comic about once a month).

The humor may be an acquired taste, but if you are hard to please and end up wanting to burn the funny pages in the newspapers everyday for lack of smart humor, then give the PBF a shot.

cutest measuring spoons

First to recommend

Description

May just be the most perfect shower gift EVER!

If you're like me, you have bare walls in the kitchen and about 4 crazy drawers of utensils... Well, with these adorable measuring spoons by Beehive Kitchenware, you can alleviate some drawer space while adding a bit of charm to your kitchen decor.

Quite a lovely, satiny, aged-looking metal as well.

I'm in love. (via designspongeonline.com)
