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!)

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?

Heart tea towels

What sweet tea towels. It's the little things, right? (And cute for Valentine's Day.)
