The Edda Carafes are simplistic and pure in design. Kiri wood balls sit atop the clear glasses, which could be used for water on the night table, or whatever purpose you may find for these pretty little things. They come in a set of three starting at 7.5" tall to 11". From Anthropologie.

I love the feathered quill design on this hansome flatware design, even though I have a hard time thinking about the term feathered in a positive way now (I was the feathered hair child of the 80's for a long time). Pottery Barn's own very own design is a great transitional flatware that can go from casual to glamorous depending on the dressed table.

The Quill Flatware settings were even featured this morning at Pioneer Woman's site where she mixed and matched different pieces from Pottery Barn like "Horn" and "Petiole" to get a fun mismatched look.

Haute Surface Cork Tiles in Houndstooth is a delicious blend of the classic houndstooth pattern in chocolate and natural colored cork.  Pop the pieces together to puzzle a surface large enough to set a casserole dish or copper pot. The interlocking cork tiles come in a set of 12 for $20.

I am not sure what it is about the fun and colorful Fiesta dinnerware that has me so enamored, but I find it irrisistable, and I am slowly building my collection. New to the Fiesta family is the color Lemongrass.  It seems that the punchier-than-celadon green is gearing towards the younger crowd that is new to Fiesta, and sure to be future devotees joining in with the large population of longtime patrons to the USA made brand. Lemongrass is now available in stores.

In October 2008, the delicious Chocolate color was introduced with much positive feedback. An earthy tone to be paired with some of the other colors was very welcome! What is so great about the fiesta line is that you can get a couple peices of dinnerware in complementing tones and change them up to match your dinner theme, season, or even new napkins. 

Here is a great example of pairing colors of the Fiesta line together, the ivory, cobalt, peacock and chocolate go great together. It works so well since there isn't a flurry of patterns to be reckoned with, just bold, rich colors on a thick, well weighted plate.
