Sweet Tweet!
I came across these one-of-a-kind glass bird feeders at the downtown Cedar Rapids Farmers Market. Mike Shannan makes beautiful yard art out of recycled glass bottles, jars, bowls and more.

All the Marbles!
I love the clean lines and gentile curves of this stone basin designed by Italian designer Enzo Berti (for Kreoo, available in the US through Charles Luck). The Nabhi Bowl No. 03 is based on mid-century modern design, but refined for today. This graceful, yet striking design comes in 9 different marbles.

Don't Leave Home Without It!
Yeah, you can make sure you've got your AMEX handy, but don't forget to bring along this awesome coupon caddy from Real Simple. The folks who've helped me simplify and streamline my life over the past few years with their magazine gave me a total "Duh!" moment when I came across this little gem at Target. I'd been looking for this exact sort of thing. If I had a dollar for every time I went shopping and left my coupons for baby formula and diapers sitting in a basket at home, I wouldn't need coupons. It's got pockets for holding credit cards, gift cards, frequent shopper cards, etc. as well as a built-in filing system to keep all of your money-saving materials in order by category. You'll never again have to sift through all the coupons for cola and coffee while searching for the ones for diapers and deodorant!

The Grassy Lawn Charging Station cushions your gadgets while they charge. A compartment underneath keeps power adapters and cables out of sight. It's easier on the eyes, and your iPhone will think its on vacation!

Ohhhh Baby!
When I was expecting my first, I would have bought this.
Okay, it's over $4,000, so I probably wouldn't have. But I would've REALLY REALLY wanted it! Now that I've "been there, done that" with two babies, I realize the ridiculous impracticality of it. However, that does not stop me from oohing and aaaahing over the totally cool design!
If you're still not sure what you're looking at, it's a baby cradle. Designed for London's Dripta Design Studio. Designed to emulate the feeling of being in the womb, this alcove shaped cradle swings smoothly to make the child feel safe.
Seeing as how my daughter was nearly 10 pounds when she was born and she probably wouldn't have even fit in it, it worked out. But if you've got a spare $4,000 and want a cool conversation piece...
