NapaStyle Bakers
What an idiot I was getting married. Wait, maybe I should put that in context: what an idiot I was getting married without a registry! I had no interest then (or now) in fussy china patterns or fancy silverware, but I could have stocked my kitchen with solid bakeware, serving pieces, and timeless linens. Love the simple shapes, hardy style, and beautiful colors of NapaStyle's bakers; they travel beautifully from oven to table and from weekday to holiday. Can you register for your tenth anniversary?

Linen Napkins
I'm loving these earthy yet stylish and luxurious 100 percent linen napkins, from textile designer Inga Lukauskiene. I love Inga's backstory almost as much as her elegant linens. Her family was involved in manufacturing linen textiles in Lithuania, and after graduating from a design school in London, she found that linen is not only in the family––it's in her veins, too. She now designs contemporary, high-quality kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom linens, as well as scarves, cushion-covers, throws, and baskets, too.

Straining Ladle
I love homemade soup; I just don't love making it myself. Nothing gets me excited about cooking like a new tool, in the same way that nothing reaches the arctic tips of my nose or toes like a spicy-hot soup. This multitasking ladle—half strainer, half ladle—will see to both tasks. Great tool for straining veggies from soups, especially for mini-diners who think vegetarian means "avoid veggies."

Maple Tea Light Holders
These naturally beautiful tea light holders made of solid maple from a fallen tree will work wonderfully with the earthy theme I'm planning for Thanksgiving this year. I must admit that after finding them I did eye the trees on my block a little differently ... okay, I tried to push one down.

Mini-Creamers
I'm not the best cook so everything I make requires a little sauce, cream, gravy, or other such topping to accentuate (ahem, disguise) what lies beneath. LOVE these adorable mini-creamers from Pigeon Toe Ceramics with a raw porcelain exterior and choice of seven interior glazes. How cute would they look scattered across the table?
