misosouper, a shopping blog

This milky glass tray is largely responsible for teaching my daughter her letters; imagine what it could do for you.

Design at Delia’s–who knew?

These decorative letters, now marked down to $3.99, would make a cheap, happy, colorful jumble in your favorite room.

Normally on Thursdays  I post a big “shopping the sale” roundup, but today, I’m just too damn itchy.  Thankfully, I’ve recently nailed down the cause of my epidermal discontent:  I’m allergic to several substances, which include–le sigh–nickel.  Which means that jewelry, at least in its metal formulations, is off limits, at least for now.  So because I love the stuff (jewelry, not allergies), I’ll keep on finding and posting it, as I live vicariously through you non-sensitive skin types.  For now, here’s a gorgeous synthetic wool necklace that will inaugurate my season of living non-metallically.

This is a shade for a willowy, sexy lamp.

Not so sexy, but useful nonetheless:  the cork could double as an illuminated bulletin board.

More Morrissey? Frankly Mr. Shankly, I think I will.

This framed felt monkey hangs by a thread; he knows it’s over, but still he clings.

Kind of like me to The Smiths.
