Kitchen Cuties

 

 

In the perfect world, I'd be baking all of Momo's treats, and he'd be very lucky, but that's not the case, and I can always aspire.  I found some very cute kitchen accessories while daydreaming about the doggie biscuits that I'd be baking...

The matryoshka measuring cups above are from here.

Still from Anthropologie, some folksy puffin bird measuring cups:

 

From Mokkatanten, these delicious red and white cups, reminds me of red velvet cupcakes:

 

From Mrs. Lin's Kitchen, these ripe and vibrant persimmon sauce containers:

 

Finally, from Wendy McLachlan's Homebakes, these charming cupcake candlesticks

 

and as a parting shot, this bunny cake platter:

 

From the Sunday House kitchen to yours, hope every waking day in your home's hearth is filled with mouth-watering scents and happy bellies!

Music in Boxes

In search for music box movements for a special project, I chanced upon the Black Forest Gifts website, and found these adorable music boxes by Wendt and Kuhn.  Aren't they adorable?  Here's another one that I particularly liked:

You can check out videos of these darlings in action here and here.  Click on the videos.  Enjoy!  It's a Happy Saturday in Sunday House!  Hope yours is the same!

A Different Way to Think About Creative Genius with Elizabeth GIlbert on TED

Hello, Sunday House Residents!  I am back!  I have been away-- very, very far away to places where trees flower, pomegranates abound, windows have pointed arches and I have been making a beautifully creative mess, but more on that later.  For now, I couldn't resist sharing this video that my sister sent me from TED.  This is dedicated to all my friends who are in the same journey as I am through art, craft, design, and whatever it is that you do.  Elizabeth Gilbert speaks on creative genius.  She is the author of one of the most powerful books I've ever read, Eat, Pray Love.  I remember hanging onto every word in this book, as I rode the EL in Chicago, from the Howard stop to the Merchandise Mart,during a very stressful period in my life.  I've  made it through those dark hours, and I live to tell.  Meanwhile, here is Elizabeth Gilbert's assuring voice.  We can all learn and keep on in our process:
