This Trend Is For the Birds
Recently CasaSugar and I were chatting about how nature's inspiring a lot of current design trends. The hot trend lies with our feathered friends. From cocktail plates to vegetable peelers, they're cropping up everywhere.
Peacock Melamine Tray: Love It or Hate It?
I was flipping through the latest Pottery Barn catalog when I came across this Peacock Melamine Tray (was $19 now $12). On one hand I think it's lovely and I absolutely adore birds. On the other, there's something rustic about it that irritates me to no end.
Bird Jug & Mug: Love It Or Hate It?
I have a thing for little birds, they're pretty darn cute and add a nice rustic flair to modern elements. They're also pretty trendy right now, which is okay in my book. Yesterday I saw this lovely bird jug and mug set and just swooned.
Ann Wood's Adorable Handmade Cake Toppers
Every now and again I will find a product that stops me in my tracks, takes my breath away, or makes me squeal a super-high pitched "I neeeeeeds it!" Well, these little birdie wedding cake toppers by Ann Wood actually made me do all three. Made from mostly vintage fabrics, trims and laces (including some from old too fragile to wear wedding dresses), these little birds will look absolutely darling on top of your wedding cake.

Wind-Up Bird Salt and Pepper Shakers: Love It or Hate It?
The other day I was browsing Shopstyle Living when I came across these disturbingly ugly wind-up bird salt and pepper shakers. Seeing these circusy, clown-like shakers on a dinner table might scare me. And "Please pass me the pepper" becomes, "Please wind up the pepper birdie and send it rolling over," which is fun, but could be dangerous.

Let's Dish: What Kind of Turkey Are You Having This Year?
Right now at the office, there are few things that PartySugar and I can talk about besides our Thanksgiving menus. For the first time ever, Party's making a deep-fried turkey, and she can't stop obsessing about it! This year, for some reason, I'm not really feeling Thanksgiving traditions, so I'm mixing it up with a bacon-wrapped, mushroom-filled turkey roulade.
