misosouper, a shopping blog

I don’t know how it happened, but one day I found myself a collector of salt and pepper shakers. A Christmas present from the in-laws, a wedding gift, an irresistible pair of porcelain birds from that cute design shop down the road… they add up quick. Since I try to curb my pack-rat tendencies, these are on my verbotten shopping list. But I might have to make an exception for this whimsical little sailboat set. So simple, so pretty, so perfectly minimalist. Just this once. Then I’ll stop. Really.

Custom popsicles in seven minutes? Sign me up! I just watched the how-to video for this Zoku Quick Pop Maker and I’m sold. DIY fudgesicles!!

Add a little whimsy to the washing-up. This distressed wire-frame dish rack looks like a beautiful vintage birdcage for your teacups.

From our friends at TheFind:

I’ve recently found lots of cool felt items from a German company called Parkhaus Berlin. They create and design modern home accessories in their Berlin studios. The collection includes cushions for design classic chairs, felt accessories and lighting.

This chicken egg cozy is one of my faves. I love bright colors like orange for my kitchen. Orange plays nicely in a modern kitchen against white, dark browns or various shades of greens, blues and even pairs well with magenta. Think Marimekko! The simplicity is wonderful as well. The ideal breakfast time accessory for friendly modernists!

All of Parkhaus’ products are made of 100% all-natural wool felt and are made in Germany. This cozy goes for $15 at Greenergrassdesign.com.
