Last Night I Dreamt About Daniel Craig...

I found this fantastic Daniel Craig–inspired tea towel in the Yum Market and just had to share it with you guys. TeamSugar member swwonder bookmarked this creation by Emma Bridgewater. The tea towel ($12) says, "I had a really nice dream last night about Daniel Craig," and is one of several fun designs. None are quite as hysterical as this one, but they're definitely worth checking out.

Trend Alert: Pretty Cool Peacocks

If you had told me a year ago that I'd suddenly be coveting peacock-embellished accessories for my home, I'd have thought you were crazy. But that's because I would have been imagining fussy old-lady types of peacock motifs and not these very chic versions showing up everywhere right now.

Rather than render peacock feathers in a realistic style, these pretty cool peacock accents offer modern interpretations on the magnificent plumage, with simple silhouettes and elegant yet understated color combinations. I love the edgy green-and-black design on these Peacock Feather Tea Towels ($11.95, above left), while the Shine Home Palisade Lantern ($795, above right) is romantic but unstuffy.

Get Smart Tea Towels

Have you ever wished you had a kitchen conversion chart at your fingertips? How about a wine pairing guide, or a herb cheat sheet? Well stop your wishing and start ordering. The folks over at Simple Memory Art (aka Smart) have come up with a smart set of kitchen towels. There are three sets to choose from (two different towels in each set): herbs & spices, wine and cooking tips. I love the way that they look (clean and simple) and I love the fact that they're informative and practical (they're meant to get dirty, they're towels!). Available in sets of 2 for $18, or as a full set of 6 for $50. Thanks Stacey for the tip!
