Well, apparently, the Bronze Age collection extends beyond dinnerware. I love this lamp, and I need this little owl for my collection.

I really like this Bronze Age collection of dinnerware from Target. I have absolutely zero need for more dishes, so I can’t justify getting the whole set, although I did pick up a couple of pieces. There was a really neat capiz platter that I didn’t get (it was $24.99), but the salad plates and small tumblers were so affordable I just had to snag a few. I’m sure I’ll add to the collection each time I go back (which is pretty much weekly!).

When I first moved to Atlanta two years ago, I was stoked to find out that the nearby mall had a Crate and Barrel store. While I still love these canisters, it turns out that most of the stuff there isn’t really my style. Plus, I find that most of the items are overpriced (at lease compared to what you get).

So I was pleased to discover cb2, a sleek, modern offshoot of the original Crate and Barrel. They have affordable furnishings that are also cool looking. I love the Audrey wall clock, and I really dig the day-glo Buddhas. They also have dining sets, bedding, personal accessories, and a large range of decorative accents.

Isn’t this eco-friendly garden shed just neato (check out the mossy roof!)? Read the full story here.

One of my favorite decorating magazines is Domino. By the creators of Lucky, the shopping magazine, Domino offers hip, generally affordable decorating ideas that are usually pretty easy to do. As someone who loves Mexican folk art (my kitchen theme!) I was thrilled to discover an article in the June issue that discussed throwing a Mexican-themed party (fiesta?). Many of the decorating suggestions were expensive, but I was interested in a website where some of the items were purchased: mexicansugarskull.com.

This website has a ton of funny, day-of-the-dead style skeleton art, including cake toppers, jewelry and papier-mache statues, as well as recipes, molds, banners, and fabrics. The site even offers brightly patterned oilcloth (sold by the foot) that would make great vintage style tablecloths.

Check it out. Skulls are all the rage this summer anyway.
