Here’s a selection of lovely and unique brown things that remind me of caramel, chocolate and mocha! Enjoy! Shown above (clockwise from top-left) are: hoss intropia wedge bootie with quilted details, elva fields art deco inspired wooden squares necklace, madewell chunky rowboat cardigan, marie turnor “brown bag” leather clutch, iphone “alarm clock” dock, 3D wooden tic tac toe game, rae dunn gingham pinecone plate, and adorable plush reindeer coaster.

Oink is a contemporary cast-porcelain piggy bank designed by Alexander Purcell Rodrigues. The handcrafted Oink Bank takes on the simple elegant form of a round jar. It is beautifully complimented by an oversized snorts (where you slip in coins and notes), and contrasting cork “ears” (which are removable for you to access the piggy’s content). Porcelain ears are available if you prefer to cover the cork stoppers. Both porcelain piggy bank and ears are available in four colors, black, white, pink and blue.

Beautiful bone china ceramics with a whimsical contemporary twist by British-Japanese designer Reiko Kaneko. I’m loving the Drip Tease and Lip Tease collections, which are classic tea sets featuring decorative ‘drip’ and ‘spill’ details, and ‘lipstick stains’. I’m also smitten by the cat or dog “peering into” the ornament baubles, which are just so cute!

Loving these delightful, fun packaged gourmet chocolate from Selfridges, that are probably too pretty to eat … Shown here (clockwise from top left) are: pink truffle hearts, chocolate shards, honest chocolate tablet, chocolate sardines, and girls night in chocolate box.

If you’re one who loves editing in Photoshop, you’ll enjoy this set of humorous iPlate series by French illustrator Todd Borka. Available in four designs, each iPlate features a Photoshop tool function, namely, Import Food, Edit Food, Image Size, and Ctrl Z (undo).

The whole geeky idea is to allow Photoshop editors into thinking that they can “make changes” with their food at meal times. Import another food if the one on the plate doesn’t appeal. Change it to another color if green makes you sick! Enlarge it if what’s on your plate is yummy, or simply undo when you’re done! Get it?

The iPlate set will make a perfect gift for the Photoshop geek! You can place a pre-sale order here.

Here’s a selection of home goods from Best Made Company, that will make great holiday gifts for those who appreciate minimal well-made designs. My top two picks are the glass jug of organic maple syrup, and the mushroom knife!

A beautiful 2012 food photography calendar by Jenna Park of Sweet Fine Day.

Loving these hand-lined envelopes from Stripe & Field, and the beautiful wooden box they come packed in. Makes a beautiful gift set for the papergoods lover.

Baggu new leather bag collection came across my radar a few times this week, and I simply have to share them with you. Needless to say, I’m one happy lady, and especially since I’ve always been a fan of soft leather bags, and the “disposable plastic bag” design. I’m eyeing the medium black and platinum one. View the entire collection here.

Cox & Cox Autumn 2011 catalog is out! There are lots of decorating ideas, and beautiful items for you to get organized around the home. I’m loving the EAT red letters decor, glass bud vases, colorful deer head, wooden wall organizer, and vintage style desk lamp.
