Warming up for Thanksgiving Day

Headed to a pre-Thanksgiving dinner with friends tonight (before my office Thanksgiving lunch tomorrow). The usual, and delicious, suspects are on the menu: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, spinach gratin, pumpkin pie and my mother's brownie pie - and that's just the food I know about.

In honor of my favorite holiday, I'm taking a vacation from my vacation (blogging) and won't be online again until I'm ten pounds heavier next week.

Enjoy the holiday by snuggling up and chowing down!

Cheers for Toast

I finally received a copy of Toast in the post from across the pond. I could literally live in the catalog pages:

Working art

While I'm on the subject, these industrial silk screens make great pieces of art:

Industrial lighting

Sure, it's all the rage, but industrial lighting will always have a special place in my heart.

State pride

Show your state pride while drying your hands with these silk screened state dish towels. I love my Louisiana and Virginia ones; all I need is Washington, D.C., to make the union complete.

Objectified

Get a whole new perspective on that potato peeler, and everything else that fills our world. If the poster isn't convincing enough, watch the documentary trailer here.

It's smells like Thanksgiving

I walked out of my apartment last night and all I could smell was Thanksgiving - that smokey sweet flavor of fallen leaves and wood burning fireplaces. It's my favorite holiday - no presents, no fuss, just lots of food and family all bundled together (and the Thanksgiving Day parade, of course).

Play me that mountain music

Maybe it's the cool air and rainy days (or that extra year I'm carrying around), but this past weekend I was drawn to the soothing sound of Dr. Ralph Stanley. Thought you may need a little bluegrass on your Wednesday too.

Merci Beaucoup

I've received such encouraging comments and emails about the new look of Voila, thank you kindly! Enjoy your Monday, where every you may be. As for me, I'm still recovering from my cake hangover.
