salt n peppa here

I have been woefully lacking a good salt and pepper dispensing system. I've had a lousy pepper mill forever which I hate, and I've been using salt straight from the supermarket container it comes in. For, like, years. So not fabulous.



Why would I ever do such a thing, when there are so many cute salt and pepper accoutrements available? I finally picked some winners this week: an aqua pepper mill from Anthropologie, and the cutest-ever salt cellar from Fish's Eddy.



I have a gigantic crush on this pair. I mean, a tiny little lamb to hold your fleur de sel? I can't stand it. I have to go cook something right now.



I also acquired a few other happy-making kitchen accessories recently: bowls, owl trinket box (and pepper mill) from Anthro, and perfect-sized tea cups (and salt cellar) from Fish's Eddy.

If you haven't heard of Fish's Eddy, it's only the most awesome dishware store in the world. It's all plates, glasses, mugs, and miscellaneous cute dining things -- a mixture of authentic vintage, vintage reproductions, and the store's own original designs. No trip to New York City would be complete without a visit to this fine establishment. (It's located, lucky me, just a couple blocks from my new office, and I am developing a serious lunchtime-retail-therapy issue with this place!)



Finally, this delightful little juicer guy joined my collection this week as well. My mom and I picked him up at an antique shop in Pennsylvania a few years back. He was stowed away in her china cabinet until I snagged him on a recent trip home, and smuggled him back in my suitcase. I love his adorably psychotic cross-eyed stare.
