CRATE AND BARREL DINING TABLE $349

79"W x 38"D x 29.5"H
This is an oak veneer table, so, you aren't buying a solid oak piece, but if you are looking for a good-looking table and can't drop the mega amount for a solid piece of wood, this is an excellent option, especially when it's marked down from $699!  There is one self-storing 16" leaf which expands seating from 6 people to 10!
Buy table here.

Seating options are also on sale! $89, regularly $199.  Buy here.

LUNCHEONETTE PENDANT LAMP $129.95

9.5" H x 12" D
I'm always pulled towards these retro, soda-fountain era items.  Can't you picture this above your kitchen table?  Or, maybe even your bathroom?  This is available in 2 colors, sky or cream and has a 100 WATT maximum.  Originally $268.  Buy here from Anthropologie.

WOODEN SWALLOW MOBILE $69.95

This is a lovely hand-carved wooden mobile of birds dangling from a wooden branch.  Being a lover of mobiles, I thought it would be a good thing to pass along.  Buy here from Anthropologie.  Was $148.

STRIPED COTTON DRESS $105

Aubin & Wills
I guess it's safe to say that I am drawn to stripes.  Not sure why, horizontal stripes have been known to accentuate width, if you catch my drift.  But these thin dainty stripes might be a different story?  Either way, can't help but love this.
Not on sale, but sometimes you have to go with what you LOVE.  Check out my other striped obsessions here and here.
Buy from Net A Porter, here.

RETRO DOUBLE EGG TIMER $18

3.5" H X 2" H
Sometimes, I am able to post things here that I already own, (different color), which makes me feel even better about recommending you to buy it.  This egg timer happens to be sitting on my kitchen counter right now and I can honestly say, we use it all the time.  An easy way to remind someone that, say, the hose is still watering that tree, or maybe that cake is still in the oven, remember???.  I tell you, two timers is better than one!  Love this retro style, too.  Buy here from Uncommon Goods.
