    Butter Me Up

    This Petit Beurre Cushion makes me want to bake (and eat) an entire batch of butter cookies. I think it would be kind of adorable on my couch, too.

    Eight is Enough

    I think the eight arms of this octopus wall hanger will be enough to subdue the unruly sweaters and jackets that seem to be multiplying on the back of my sofa.

    Chunky Tassel Throw

    I know that summer is rapidly approaching, but with the office A/C cranked down to 60, I can’t help but want a snugly blanket like this one from West Elm.

    Bubbling Over with Joy

    My local grocery store seemingly refuses to stock the canned mineral water I like to buy. This means either buying the plastic bottled stuff or going out of my way to another store for one item. I usually give up and buy the bottle. But by the second or third day, my sparkling water is just plain old water and I end up throwing it out. So, I feel slightly hopeful about the invention of the Legcap. It allows you to more tightly seal the cap and then store the bottle upside down, supposedly keeping the fizz inside.

    Unfortunately, the Legcap doesn’t prevent the initial loss of fizz when you open the bottle, so this whole thing may be just a pipe dream.

    Best Thing Since Sliced Bread?

    This new Magimix Vision Toaster definitely gets a prize for beauty. And I can see, quite literally, the benefit of keeping your eye on the toast. But I wonder if it’s worth $300 to get your sliced baguette the perfect shade of golden brown.

    Tea Light

    A literal interpretation of the “tea light” certainly seems a lot more useful than those tiny little candles. My only worry is that if I pull the on/off cord a soggy tea bag will end up in my hair.

    Etsy Find: The Cat is Out of the Bag

    Cats are masters of balance, but I have a hard time believing even they could ride unicycles with such skill. Regardless, this signed print by Judy Kaufmann (aptly entitled “Cats”) is completely irresistible.

    Slammin’ Doors

    Now the door to your junk closet can be the door to a quaint cottage thanks to Style-Your-Door, a removable, vinyl film that turns your interior doors into photo-realistic portals to where ever you want to go. Options include a swimming pool, an aircraft hangar, the beach and, my personal favorite, a horse stall.

    Via Incredible Things.

    Heavy Metal

    I love the vintage styling. I love the orange and white. The only thing I don’t love is the idea of having to carry one these anywhere after I load it full of craft supplies, books and magazine.

    Etsy Find: Birds of a Feather

    I love the outsider-art feel of “Our Little Friends” from Etsy seller inaluxe.
