Sprucing up for spring usually doesn't include my kitchen utensil container, but I have long been a convert of silicone spatulas. And these swirly, pretty, funky spatulas are exactly what my kitchen needs right now. Silicone spatulas are…
For over 2000 years at least, civilizations rose and fell, wars were won and lost-- all for tea. And now, it's a just another rack of brightly colored, shrink-wrapped boxes at the supermarket. That's a damn shame. But Damn Fine Tea is tr…

I spend a lot of time looking at great Mother's Day gifts (anyone see our Mother's Day Gift Guide? ) but that doesn't mean I don't procrastinate right along with the best of you. Which is why I can practically smell the annual Mother's D…
What was my favorite Mother's Day gift ever? My TomTom, definitely, because I can get lost in a wet paper sack. But I'm lucky. Incredibly lucky. Even if my family completely forgets me this weekend, I still have a home, my health, and al…
I love all the flower-embellished accessories right now, even if it's so ubiquitous that Gap and J Crew are all over it. But so are our favorite indie labels. Take a look at this sweet hand-knit rose clutch from CMP's beloved site, Shoka…
I have a thing for rings, so when I first saw these recycled sterling silver stacking rivet rings from the very talented Julie Booras of Heart and Stone Jewelry I was immediately drawn to them for all of the obvious reasons. But I realiz…

Despite our incredible devotion to tracking down the most awesome Mother's Day gifts around here, we recognize that not every family is gift-y. Sometimes it's indeed the thought that counts, and that a beautiful card inscribed with a hea…
For the last five years, I have done my best to figure out what the heck to do with my oldest daughter's awesome artwork. As you probably know, the fridge display only works for so long, and while framing it would be nice, how do I pick …
Saying you love me with flowers is great, but on Mother's Day , please don't get me a smiling kitten n' rainbow mug full of carnations and daisies. I'd much rather have a bed of bamboo accented by one gorgeous orchid, or maybe some spark…
My mom has always had a thing for vintage cards, particularly valentines. My dining room growing up was filled with shadow boxes holding beautiful, textural Victorian cards and I remember just losing myself in them for hours. I figure I …
