table for two?

For as long as I can remember, I've had this idea that I will someday be the type of person that throws amazing dinner parties. However, I'm halfway through my 24th year and have yet to begin planning one.

Anthropologie's new Tabletop Design Tool makes me think it's probably best I haven't hosted on yet, since my creations were not nearly as lovely as those they made. However, it is an excellent way to practice my table setting skills.

better with age

I am not sure what kind of message I'm sending by posting about wine two days in a row, but this one is for a good cause.

Potting Shed Creations has a line called Grow Bottles, which are ex-wine bottles now serving as hydroponic planters.

I think I'd opt for mint. Something doesn't feel right about mixing chives and oregano with my sweet Riesling.

I'm not much of a dancer, but this ballerina attempting to nail first position warms my heart. I couldn't stop laughing as she adjusted her feet with her hands.

Those in glass houses, right?

wine & pups

In September, I confessed a new found love for puppies. Another not-so-new love of mine is wine.

And although I think I still favor wine to dogs, I recently stumbled upon A Dog's Life Wine, and can think of quite a few wine and pooch lovers that would go crazy for these bottles. You can actually get your own pup's face on the label.

If I ever get my dog Pancake, you better believe this will be on my table.
