A friend of mine, who fits the classification of hipster to a T, also happens to love all things gourmet. Initially, I was at a loss for what to get her, but I quickly discovered that there's an array of niche gift items that converge at the juncture of food, music, and cutting-edge cool. Case in point: I have to get her this book about underground dining, and because she loves to push the envelope, I know she'll flip for this shopping bag.

I'm more than a little bummed that the end of summer is only a few short days away. To shift the mood in my kitchen, and in my mind, I need some new fall placemats. The tropical placemats that sit on my table now just don't seem to fit anymore.

There's something about these Wood Disk Placemats that I find wonderfully striking. The symmetrical circles, and beautiful wooden tones are really alluring. However, they're sort of retro, in that weird trivet on your grandma's table sort of way, and I'm not sure I would actually want them in my house.

With the days getting darker earlier, and the end of summer only a few short days away, I can't help but be a little depressed. Summer is my favorite season and I have a hard time watching it go. Retail therapy has always cheered me up, and I've decided I need some new fall placemats to shift the mood in my kitchen.

The table setting on my kitchen table changes with the seasons (and sometimes my mood!). It's easy to update your table's look by getting a new set of placemats. I have hosted quite a few impromptu dinner parties lately and my winter set is starting to show wear (oil/wine stains, etc) and tear, so I asked you to help me find a new tablescape.

The other day my sister was telling me about her best friend Erica's strange passion for placemats. My sister was discussing how it was kind of odd and wondered how someone could get so excited about placemats. I listened quietly for a moment before bursting out loudly, "I love placemats too!"
