Moving Day!
No, not for me. For Jessica.
A few days ago, Jessica asked if I’d mind accompanying her to Crate and Barrel to buy supplies for her new apartment. Um, mind? Really now, Jessica, do you know me at all? Of course I will go with you. And what’s more, I will buy a ton of items for myself, so you don’t have to stand alone at the cash register when it’s time to pay. Ah, what a good friend I am.
Henry wanted in on the action. He was jumping up, trying to figure out, “What’s Mom photographing up there on the table?” So I put a glass down to his level. (I thoroughly washed it afterwards!!)
As soon as he saw there was no food, Henry lost interest in the glass. Clearly, he does not share my appreciation for pretty dishware.
Above, my favorite of the day’s purchases. Isn’t it cute? Good for soba, perhaps? And below, all the purchases:
Guess how much I paid for all of this…
$50? $100? $100?
How about $30? Deal of the century!! 
(I love a good bargain!)
So how did miss Jessica fare? Well, she definitely spent a considerable amount more than me. But hey, furniture costs more than dishware. What’s a girl to do? At least I stocked her up with free dessert:
See? I told you I was a good friend! (I always make sure to have some sort of fudge babies for Jessica; she likes them more than anyone else I know!)
Question of the Day:
Do you like stores such as Pier One or Pottery Barn?
I used to think these kinds of stores were the most boring places on the face of the earth!
By the way, the best store for dishware is the Pearl River Mart.
Tomorrow: Carrot Cake in a Bowl! 🙂
Love the new kitchenware sweetie! Good taste 🙂 Check out my latest post 🙂 xoxo
Those Raw Samoas Truffles look spectacular and yummy!
I used to think home-accent stores were boring as well. However, now I like to shop in them.
My favorite home-accent store is Kirkland’s, but I like Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel as well.

IKEA– a blessing and a curse rolled into one cute loveseat. Goodness knows how many paint swatches I have (and pictures of different pieces of furniture) for when I move in to my own apartment. Did Jessica enjoy perusing Crate and Barrel? With a store like that, where you can snoop out a deal if you look hard enough, it turns into an all day adventure!
p.s. very classy looking plates. Makes you look very sheek 🙂
Haha yeah, she liked it even more than me!
im so glad i found your blog! ill def be coming back for some decadent but also HEALTHY (who knew!) chocolate dishes. keep it going girl!
cute new plates 🙂
Yum! Those fudge babies look perfecto! Love the chocolate drizzle on top!
I love home stores! Especially when I can find fun bowls and cute spoons! I always end up spending waaaay to much money though!
That is a pretty amazing deal! I can never leave stores without spending 50 dollars! I think Target is my favorite 🙂
Hiiiiiiii Katie! I haven’t commented in a while but I’m still reading all your posts! Yes, you are such a good friend for making your friend not feel lonely shelling out the dough for lovely housewares. Why oh why is spending money so fun?? I wanna make it to C&B soon for their cute spoons! And that squat clear glass you bought looks like it would be a beautiful vessel for boatmeal! The girl from Edible Perspective puts her buckwheat bakes in something like that, so I guess they must last in the micro/and/or oven??
Ruby Red!!!!! Ohmigosh haven’t talked 2 u in 4evah! But I think of you every single time I pass by a coffee shop. I always remember your adorable love of latte art :). Hope all is well, my dark-chocolate-eating friend!
Love the new dishes! I love shopping for new dishes, although my cupboards are just about packed to the brim these days…
I totally used to find them boring but, like you, now I love them! I’m lucky because my mom is an interior decorator so I can tag along whenever she goes out to buy furniture and accessories for showhomes. I’m her little helper =)
Btw, words cannot describe how excited I am for tomorrow’s post. That might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but just a teeny weeny one.
Ooo I hope it doesn’t disappoint!
