Not exactly everyone’s delight to find a fly-shaped pepper in the soup, but obviously Taiwanese designers, Balance Wu and Chin Yang from ahead creative, thought otherwise.

… and on the inside too! We’re experiencing a freak cold blast, and my home feels like a refrigerator without heating on. Germany artist, Katrin Schwulst’s whimsical illustration echoes the cold sentiments here!

And what better way to combat the cold than to put on the kettle, and brew lots and lots of tea. It’s going to be tea-time through out the day, at least for me. See more of Katrin’s lovely artwork here: seasprayblue.etsy.com.

Ceramics | Home Accessories

ceramic button plates

You may remember my serious crush for those olive wood button coasters some months ago. Hence, when I spotted these ceramic button plates at Have You Met Miss Jones, I had to share them here.

These adorable bone china dishes are available in three sizes. The only caveat is, the practical side of me is questioning if a dish with holes would leave a trail of crumbs behind. {via}
