This could be a fun game...guess the celebrity kitchen. Celebrities are just like us...with better, cleaner kitchens!

You can't pull this off everywhere (weather), but an outdoor Thanksgiving feast can be so beautiful and different.

dip-dyed vintage

I have seen many variations on this theme, but these dip-dyed serving pieces intrigued me because they use vintage cake servers. I have a lot of vintage silver, so I pay attention to fun items like this! Ladies and Gentlemen created these pieces by hand-picking cake servers and then dipping them in food safe paint. $60 per piece.

The Grounds

Don't you want to meet your pals and have a cup of coffee here? It's called The Grounds and (unfortunately for me...so far away!). It's located in Alexandria, Australia. Also in the running for some interior design awards.
