What fun are these?! Well tons, of course. Chickadees, you know that Valentine’s is just around the corner, so how ‘bout these? They can be committal … or not … and they just might be the best thing to put another little gifty in. Or a big gifty, or just plain naked. Hmmmmm. Give it a think or two.

I’ll leave it to you to count the ways. All is made somewhat easier with these hearts. They come with their own sweet bag, so write your list and stuff it into the bag! Hopefully, your list doesn’t stop at five. If it does, then it’s time to re-think the whole deal, doncha think?
Start counting and counting and counting, here.

Can spoons make you swoon? Yes, yes they can. These stunning spoons turn your grandmother’s silver on its ear. They are just insanely cool and pristine and modern and I love them. You will, too.
Handmade of unglazed bone china by British artist Caroline Swift, they are sold in sets of two, but you’ll want more than just two. Yes, yes you will.
The ultimate aesthete, Anne, calls them delicious. And yes, yes they are.

This little porcelain dish is just genius. I love it when someone figures out how to create things both functional and great looking. And just think: you won’t find wadded-up napkins with a nasty ‘surprise’ inside stuffed between the cushions of your sofa 2 weeks later, which is always such a mystery to me. Why do people do that?
Now they won’t.
Did I mention that this swirly little gem is handmade? Well, it is, and you can get it here.

After hauling hammers, 3 different kinds of picture hangers, extra nails, rulers, levels, tape measures, masking tape, and God knows what else out to hang what I thought would be a very tasteful arrangement of pictures and screwing it up royally and then starting over and finally getting it right, I found this. I could scream. In fact, I did; it woke the dead in Connecticut.
This is some system for a picture wall. Comes in black, silver, natural, white and I think cherry, which I think is questionable, but whatever. Comes with directions. Don’t make the same the mistake and lose your voice over screaming: suck it up and get this. Totally worth it.
And fyi and btw and all that, erasers don’t work on walls. Screaming.
The only way to safely navigate a dreaded picture wall without losing your mind, here.

Are you still in the throes and glows of keeping your New Year’s resolutions and trying to be good and good at it and all that? Why don’t you add some extra insurance, some extra kick, some extra moojoo? Exactly.
This necklace is just incredible. Engraved in Hebrew with the Ten Commandments on smash copper pennies from the Wailing Wall, it hangs from a 20” copper link chain and is just a piece of gorgeousness. Your own personal angel on your shoulder.

There’s a reason your grandmother and her grandmother extolled the virtues of a mustard bath. It works. Home remedies usually do!
The mustard bath from Bigelow’s Pharmacy is what you want. It’s the one for detoxing. And the one for colds, flu, sniffles, sneezes, over-indulging, over-imbibing, over-anything-ing. Dump it in a hot tub and be amazed. Mustard pulls out all the bad joo-joo in your system, you know. If I were you, I’d stockpile this. I certainly have. It’ll make you feel all human again.

This is the most fascinating book. Who knew the alphabet could be fascinating, right?!?
The whole book is a pop-up of the ABC’s. Sounds silly, but it’s just amazing. Each spread features a letter. An architectural wonder. A graphic marvel. A reason to start collecting pop-up books. I think I’m hooked. How do they do that?????
