Mini Furniture Waffle Iron

I’m only now just getting to decorating it, and have been on a massive hunt for inexpensive, cute, kid-friendly furniture. Key word there is “inexpensive.” I just spotted this mini furniture waffle iron and my first thought … Read More ...
Cookie Wallpaper
It’s funny, the difference in our feelings towards germs in childhood vs. adulthood. “Ew, holy germfest” never even crossed my mind from the notion of Willy Wonka’s lickable wallpaper, but that’s the first thing I thought of when spotting this lickable Jaffe Cake elevator.

My head just went back to grad school. To discussions of postmodernism and the cost of reproduction and low vs high brow and are we cleverly paying homage to the masters by recreating fine art with sandwiches and does food have a place in art or are we reducing their works to just lunch. I’ll stop there. Given my field, … Read More ...
