Friday Favorites

September 13, 2013 by Carla

Happy Friday!  Have a fantastic weekend.  Here are some of our favorite things from this week.

How to Care for a Wooden Cutting Board:  Food52 published an invaluable guide to caring for your wooden cutting boards.

Silver Empire Tray Tables: These nesting tray tables from Dot & Bo are both practical and gorgeous.

Pumpkin Spice Popcorn:  Ease into fall with this sweet popcorn treat.  We like the idea of adding a little cayenne to give it a bit of heat.

DIY Ikea Hack Distressed Wooden Shelves:  We love open shelving in a kitchen- plus, Carla just moved and needs some additional space! Sugar and Cloth recently reposted this tutorial for a pretty distressed wood look and we think it’s lovely.

LEIF Gem & Mineral 2014 Calendar: We still have plenty of time to find the perfect calendar for the coming year, but why not start the search with a peek at this, ahem, GEM.

Custom Birthday Cake Stand:  Are you also just learning about the trend of special plates for birthdays, year after year?  We think the idea is stellar (and are also fans of the variation of a special celebration plate- to be used for accomplishments big and small at the family dinner table)! Vessels And Wares’ Etsy shop is currently closed for custom orders, but will be back in business shortly with these adorable, custom stands.
