the ne plus ultra option

even the meal looks pretty
Now that it has been established that our new kitchen countertop is gorgeous, but also a scratch and stain magnet (repair job #1 took place on Tuesday to hide the construction damage), I need to assemble an arsenal of placemats and napkins. Pictured here are some of my options. I love the idea of linen, but wouldn’t mind a little thickness to protect against the 10/11 year old lifestyle.

Any suggestions? Placemat experiences you’d like to share?

Need further proof of my frog fixation? Back in July, I bookmarked the VChocolates website when I came across the cute milk and dark chocolate frogs (and priced at $9.95, a relative steal). Available online, and select locations, including Beacon Hill Chocolates. Will have to add it to my Boston shopping list ….

If it weren’t for the price, I’d already own these Red Sox m&m’s. At almost $39 for three 7 oz bags, every time I click “add to cart” I seem to hear a long lecture from my father about financial responsibility …..
(If buying them guaranteed a division win, it would be worth it.)

My side of the family has only grandsons, so far. Which means that all of the baby girl clothes I spot (and I spot a lot: let’s not even talk about Bonpoint) go unpurchased. If there were a girl, I’d have to spring for at least one outfit from cc3. I bookmarked this site a long time ago after reading about it in Country Living. Perfection!

Chocolate brioche. Just looking at it makes me hungry. And happy news (for me): Tatte Fine Cookies & Cakes participates in the Copley Square Farmers Market ….. so I’m hoping to snag a couple next week when I’m in town ….
If you’re local, the shop is in Brookline.
