This Week’s Finds

Since I try to watch portion sizes when I eat, having a digital scale is a must. BUT if you are a baker, it is essential for getting the measurements right. Zwilling’s Digital Kitchen Scale is sleek and elegant..

Get a set of three kitchen shears on sale now for under $35. Also, now is a good time to load up on kitchen towels. Get a set of four towels, on sale now for just $19.99.

My greatest find this month might be the 233-year-old (you heard me) Sour Dough starter from San Francisco. If you are like me, and the only thing keeping you from making sour dough bread is figuring out how to get your hands on the starter, I’ve got you covered. MomsSanFranSourDough is offering the heritage starter for just $7.99 (I know, crazy, right?) Even if you don’t buy it, check out this link to read about their story, the history of their bakery and this starter. Fascinating. I can’t wait for mine to arrive (bread recipes coming soon😜).

Also, in the food category, I found lots of great and unique items that would be perfect tucked into an Easter Basket, Self-Care basket or as part of a Mother’s Day Gift Basket (Yup, once I got started with the idea of a basket, there was no stopping me!)

Check out the Sesame Seed Bagel Making Kit and the Lemon Basil, Cocktail Infusion Kit from Anthropologie. The idea of edible flower confetti sounds too good to be true, but here it is! Every cupcake and baked good will look perfect for the season. And how about these floral crackers? I can’t think of anything that would look more beautiful on a cheese board or Easter buffet.

Is specialty chocolates ever a bad idea? I don’t think so and these are just the perfect treats for that special someone. I love, love, love these Aurora Grace Chocolate Eggs. They are so beautifully packaged and hard to resist. And this carton of Hazelnut Chocolate Eggs gives you plenty to share!

Is there anything better than handmade ceramics and pottery? I think not, and I found a couple of beautiful and affordable options on Etsy. This pasta bowl can be made in several different colors and finishes and just looks fab.

These contemporary Japanese ceramic bowls are retro-style pasta serving bowls and have a completely different look, but one that is sleek and could be used for salads too.

I loved the idea of elevating my egg storage to one of these beautiful, ceramic cottage egg crates. I finally bit the bullet, and got one…LOVE IT! They come in different colors and, for just $14, seemed like the treat I needed!

I found some adorable additions to the kitchen. This butter dish is one-of-a-kind and temporarily on back-order, but so worth the wait! I love this little ceramic berry basket. As a girl who eats berries every day, I’d love having them served in this container.

A cocktail Napkin box might seem like a splurge, but for under $50, you have the most adorable woven abaca and leather tray with a lid.

I use these colorful pinch bowls for holding seasonings and small amounts of sauce when serving two. They are on sale for just $29.99 for a set of 6. If you still haven’t bought a grate plate, grab one now for just $29.95.

When it comes to amazing serving pieces, I have my eye on this collection from Pampa Bay being offered by my favorite olive oil and balsamic vinegar store, Patricia and Paul. I love the round snack bowl and the rectangle serving dish too!

This two-piece rectangular baking dish set is just $49.99 and perfect for brunch casseroles like my Egg, Veggie, Ham & Cheese Casserole. Baking pies? You need this ceramic pie dish.

a slice of egg, veggies, ham & Cheese casserole.

I saw this tea for one tea set and fell in love! It is so pretty and just perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. You know this is coming home with me.
