A few favorite things...

I completely finished have one or two more prints to pull for my show. I could be done, but why let myself get off that easy? There is always more to print, especially when one's creative juices are flowing after an intense two months of studio work. There is of course still the matting and framing to do which I am probably in denial about how long it will actually take. Anyway, I am celebrating, relaxing, and looking at...stuff I like to look at...pretty food related objects, cookware, anything related to yummy things, sensible items think I need, and coveting them. I'm in the mood to share. I am also forgetful when it comes to remembering what I covet. 'Tis the season for wishing!


I have wanted an attractive piece to hold our multi-colored fresh eggs in for quite some time. Leave it to Anthropologie to provide such the perfect container for me.


Anthropologie also has Flocks and Herds napkin rings that make me smile.
I can't believe I do not own one casserole dish. It seems insanely wrong. Seriously, doesn't every gal who gets married acquire a casserole dish with her Joy of Cooking cookbook and Kitchen Aid mixer? Not me. I don't know how this has gone on for so long, but I can hopefully soon remedy this issue.
I've wanted some mini-bundt cake pans for quite some time but I never come across them in stores. These Garland Bundt Pans from NordicWare seem just perfect.


I love bowls. Enough said. West Elm has pleasing multi-color bowl sets that I adore.
Every time I make a delicious berry or lemon merengue pie I wish I had a beautiful pie dish. I think this is it and I think my pies would taste even better because of it.

A lovely waffle iron without the toxic non-stick crap on it. I love waffles and miss eating them. This is a must have. Why the heck don't I have one?


Do I need to say anything more? This Champignons dish from my favorite store is perfect. This design is just one of the many delightful ones they have.


OK, so you may be thinking I have a slightly obsessive habit of looking at Anthropologie's kitchen items. You are correct and it is not limited to their more practical wares.
This is simply pretty, functional, and I've always wanted a lovely apron. There are a lot of aprons I've come across out there that I love, this Tea and Crumpets Apron is the current one and next month I will find another!

I saved the best for last. I will own one of these when pigs fly but I can at least look at it, over and over again. Le Creuset's 5 qt. braiser is a beauty.

Thanks for taking the time to scroll through my bratty-i-want list. A girl can dream right?
