misosouper, a shopping blog

A little birdie told me that artist Fiona Howard has partnered with Crate and Barrel to create a delightful set of dinnerware.

If the Eameses had designed a mascot to perch above their iconic rocker, this would be it.

These sweet little songbirds are a perfect way to brighten up the nursery. The bold colors and minimalist design is not too hard on the eyes, either.

About a month ago, I finally caved and bought a Kindle. And just like that, I rekindled (sorry) my love affair with fiction. My reading habit fell by the wayside with an infant in tow, but those days are behind me. Now I can’t get enough. All I want to do this summer is prop myself up on pillows, preferably gorgeous ones, lay out in the sun, and devour book after book. I’ve already knocked six off my summer reading list since Memorial Day, so I’m off to a good start. But I’ll need to plan a few more getaways sans toddler to keep up the pace.

Remember the gorgeous dresser I’ve been coveting forever? Thanks to my husband this Christmas, it’s now mine, all mine! For the last couple weeks I’ve been working to create the perfect dresser-top mise-en-scene of personal effects, photos, and knick-knacks. To finish it off, I found this pretty little jewelry stand to organize and display my favorite necklaces and bangles. Loving it!
