Ketchup Liberation

This is just too good to be true...LiquiGlide (the coating) keeps condiments from sticking to the inside of the container, so that they smoothly slide onto your plate (and into your dreams :).

Sakir Gokcebag

I have a thing for re-purposing, so when I first saw Turkish photographer Sakir Gökçebag's photos my mouth dropped - WAIT, is that watermelon?.  Meticulously slicing fruits and veggies to create striking geometric arrangements which he then photographs, Gökçebag's work reminds me of this with a mix of this (and don't kid yourself, this is much harder than it looks - trust me, I tried).

The Candy Room

Not that anyone needs another excuse to visit Melbourne or (more specifically) a shop called The Candy Room (you had me at hello) but if you are planning a trip, you might want to include this on your itinerary.  Designed by RED Design Group this amazingly branded shop is like a children's illustration come to life, highlighting it's yummy products as the only 3D elements.  Good design is so tasty :)

Friday Links

This weekend is filled with two sides to kinda the same coin.  Passover sedar on Saturday (which starts at HML's bedtime) and Easter brunch on Sunday (which starts at HML's naptime). I wonder who will be more cranky, her Jewish or her Catholic side?

I love the hand drawn text on this wedding invite, kinda wish we did something like this (YAY Abby).

This would make any 7 year old super happy.

I don't care how advanced the world has become, I will always LOVE a good little notebook.

Bookmark this and this immediatly, trust me - YUM.

WOW, what an amazing resource of beautiful (and resonably priced/free commercial use) photoshop backgrounds (especially these, these, these, these, and these - having trouble picking just one fav).

I will absolutly be making these for the next party I host (or maybe for HML's room - her room is one big party).  I think pretty rope trim is part of the subtle magic.

Next Friday is the 13th, are you prepared?

Super impressed but this blog's commitment to custom logo's for their recent posts (polishes everything off so nicely) but I wonder how long it will last?  Now that's hard work!

Instant smile.

Snoop has a book and of course this is what it is (BTW - it's way more creative than you think).

Not in my price range, but impressed that Anthropologie is selling fine art (and it's nice too - Yangyang Pan).

Modern-Twist

Modern-twist is a San Francisco/Oakland based company that is bringing art to the table via collaborations with independent artists and designers.  A pioneer in the use of food-grade, hand-silk screened silicone, they offer unmatched elegance and innovation in their designs.  The surface of each mat is germ-free, non-porous, heat-resistant and perfect for adults and little-ones alike.  I am obsessed with the Kyoto series and the entire children's line. 

EXTRA PERK: Nurturing the inner artist in every child, the mats are doodle-friendly with the use of washable or dry erase markers—save paper/save trees, just clean off with a damp cloth or rinse. Color again and again - totally brilliant and majorly affordable!
