Another day, another gadget.  Swissmiss sparked an intense longing for this fantastic ergonomic chop round knife by LucidiPevere Studio. I've never really had the urge chop anything one handed (helloooo fear of sharp-ish objects and lack of natural grace), but dangit - I'd risk it all for this puppy.

You like tea.  You like sharks.  You're gonna' love this shark tea infuser, especially if you pair it with a nice bright red rooibos tea. And yes, you're welcome.  :)

One of the best things about living with a clay nerd is the wide variety of ceramic pieces that have found their way into our house - bowls, plates, soup tureens and...  mugs.  Glorious lovely whimsical mugs. This works well especially during the cold-ish winter months (Houston gets chilly, but never quite frigid as in other cities I've endured winter in) ...
