Nothing Says "Thank You" Like a Pretty Chocolate Bar

I am on a diet (actually - I am in sugar-rehab for a few months) so naturally, I head straight for the "candy" category while perusing Etsy.com this evening.  Here's what I found....

...a perfectly packaged Dove chocolate bar ready to send to your favorite blogger (e-mail me for my address).  =)

Martha Move Over…*My* New Favorite’ist Thing

So - it's Friday night and I am bored out of my mind.  What's a girl to do?  Shop!  =) So - I click on my favorite place in the whole wide web - Etsy.com and find these sweet little pottery pieces featured on the front page.

I was supposed to be shopping for a baby gift for my sister-in-law...but was sidetracked by the little "delight" dish that would be the cutest little holder for my earrings, necklaces and lip glosses.

Apparently - it's all about *me* tonight. Anyway..thought I'd share my new favorite'ist super dooper cute thing with you. Leesa Brinkley's store - handgrown pottery and check out all of the sweet and unique pottery designs.

Tie Dyed Cheesecake

Normally I feature clothing, gifts and accessories on this site...but I absolutely could not resist posting about this absolutely funky and adorable tie-dyed cheescake I just stumbled upon.

The colors were created using food coloring and the base is red velvet cake. YUM! You can get the recipe at slashfood.com.

Can you imagine what a hit this would be at at a summer barbeque or child's birthday party?

If you've tried it, let us know if it tastes as good as it looks!

Proud to Be a Coffee Snob

I'll admit, I am a coffee snob. I used to be a classic Folgers girl. I'd get the massive red tub from Costco which would last about a week.

My blogging "gig" has turned me into a coffee snob. I frequent several wi-fi cafes in my town on a bi-weekly basis. I started with a classic cup of coffee topped with some half-and-half. Then, I got bored and tried a "Love Potion #9" - coffee with cinnamon, white chocolate and vanilla. Now, I am drinking lattes, espressos, cafe au lait's, iced coffees....etc...

Yep, I am an official coffee snob. In fact, I love coffee so much that I am redecorating my kitchen with a coffee theme. Of course, my first stop is Etsy.com. My absolute favorite place for unique cuteness....

Check out this fantastic set of coffee tiles I found. Aren't they yummy? Show the creator (Tilesmile) some caffiene induced, internet surfing, late night shopping love by checking out her etsy shop.
