In Style Parties

At Amazon.com

Cooking Classes

Cooking Classes at Williams-Sonoma or Whole Foods or wherever else they might let me in.

Of-The-Month

This is a little weird, but I've always wanted an "of-the-month" gift.  Like fruit-of-the-month.  I bet it's a nice little surprise every few weeks.  

Knives

Shun Classic 3-Piece Starter Set.  Or I'd just take the Chef's knife.

Hair

I like this bride's hair for any dress up occassion.  More photos at  Veronica Reeve Photography

dinner party

Love this idea for a dinner party.

This vacation

Another Cookbook

Here's another cookbook I'd like to check out.

I think I'd like a few of these...

This blouse from Anthropologie. 

Chandelier 4

zgallerie via Domino

Silicone pastry brushes (great for the grill too) Via Mighty Haus

Got it.  Turns out they're as great as I had hoped. 

Mommy Hook Stroller Hanger

Great Baby Shower present - 7 bucks!  Via Mighty Haus

Docking Station/Catch All - On the Look Out

I am on the look out for the perfect docking station/catch all that Abram and I can share.  I have yet to find it, but when I do, I will post it.  It needs to include space for the following:

• cell phone
• blackberry
• ipod
• camera
• wallet
• keys
• Abram's tie (which he inevitably leaves in the catch all after work)

Bath Pillow

Isn't a bath pillow a great idea?  And cheap too - great stocking stuffer.  Yes, I know it's July.

Table Fan

If I needed a table fan I'd get this one.  Via domestic reflections

Cloche hat

Found here via Oh Happy Day

Hair Accessories

All but top right.

Blue feather hair comb

I found Colette Malouf's hair accessory collection today.  I am in love.  Via Oh Joy

Vintage Keys

I think old keys are romantic.  Oh Joy

Disney Moms Panel

One day when I take my kids to Disney World, I will use this Moms Panel to help me plan.

Blog Design

I found this blog design on Playful Pickles Designs.

Etched Windows? Who Knew?

2 things:  the etched window and the paint color.  Via Martha.

Exterior

I like the exterior wall of this apartment.  And I love when a neighborhood has a variety of colors.

Fireplace

How cool is this fireplace?  LOVE it.  Via Martha Stewart. 

Material for Mom

• Joel Dewberry
• purlsoho.com

Saab Roadster

If only baby toys like this were realistic.  I wouldn't mind having my family room overrun by them.  As much.  Little Baby Company via Design Mom. 

The New Best Recipe - Cook's Illustrated

I'm interested. I've heard really good things about Cook's Illustrated. I'm not fully committed though, because I like a cook book I can lay on my couch and read. This looks more like a reference book. But again, I'm interested.

#3

I don't know what it is with me and chandeliers lately, but I'm loving them. Here's #3.

Window Boxes

If I had any kind of green thumb I would have window boxes.  So pretty.  CasaSugar

Another Chandelier

Colin Cowie Chic

Saw this on Oprah a while ago, and I just found it again at Amazon.

*Update*

And never mind.  Just read through about half of it at the bookstore.  Not impressed. 

Accent Walls

I love accent walls like this.  Actually, I just love this apartment.  I wouldn't want to live in it, but I dig the decor.  The photo comes from a blog called Apartment Therapy. 

What are these called?

From Art and Artifact via A Thing of Beauty

Mixing Bowls

If Williams-Sonoma ever re-releases these mixing bowls in sets of one color (I'm not loving the multi-colored set), I'm gettin' me some.  I'm tired of big, heavy glass bowls. 

*Update*

Got 'em.  Love 'em.  

Little Gifts

Some great gift ideas.

Red Velvet

This excerpt from an NPR article cracks me up...

Confessions of a Modern-Day Dandy

by Sebastian Horsley

The parade of dressing up came from Mother. If she had been Queen of England she would have worn her crown at breakfast. I can remember her dressing once with great care in front of the mirror before going out, demanding that one of her children accompany her. "Which child?" The nanny asked. "I don't care" Mother snapped. "Whichever one goes with red velvet." (Naturally it was me).

Charms

I would love to get this family tree necklace for my mom, but she just had too many kids.  Limit 36 characters, at It's the Little Things via A Room Somewhere.  Maybe this instead:

Chandelier

Check out that chandelier.  Now I just need a room that can stand up to it.  Photo from Courage My Love, via A Room Somewhere.

I love this photo.  Gorgeous tree, gorgeous gate.  Via A Room Somewhere.

Little Girl Prints

I read about this Etsy shop on Design Mom.
