Air Plant ($13)

Seriously, stop messing around with potting soil and "plant food" and so on and just get one of these weird beauties. From Pigeon Toe Ceramics (And Plants).

Pink Plastic Tumbler Set ($16/Set of 8)

Teeth-achingly sweet, like something right out of Grandma's fanciest china cabinet, only they're acrylic. This means it's not a sin to drink Pepsi in them. Or vodka. From Target.

Melamine Floral Plate Set ($22)

These plates are a little pottery and a little Beatrix Potter. Also, they're made of melamine, which can actually survive outdoor eating, the dishwasher, and other hazards of real life. Features dinner + salad plate for four. From Target.

India / Morocco Inspired Glass Tumbler ($4)

sale!

Think dreamy garden party... or in February, iced tea under a blanket, dreaming of a garden party. From Anthropologie.

Food Map Container ($255)

Yeah so, the price is a little bit aspirational, but you've got to dig the utilitarian bones of this thing—industrial laundry cart meets farm sink, or something. From Food Map Design.

Curved Leg Dining Table ($100)

A hardwood indoor/outdoor dining table for this price? Even when you add in shipping, this is a mad deal. You can easily drop more than this at Ikea for a table that's probably not going to be as nice. From Brocade Home.

Medallion Side Table ($50)

Hardwood top and metal base here for a hybrid country/Versailles/Moroccan thing, or something. The top and the base really shouldn't work together, but somehow they come out looking cute. From Brocade Home.

Mason Bee House ($22)

I had never heard of Mason Bees before I found this darling little house for them, but they sound very nice, and like the Mason Bee, I am attracted to all the cute cubbyholes on this thing. From Northwest Nature Shop.

Small & Large Perforated Metal Lanterns ($30-$40)

Reg $39-$59. Hanging lanterns are great for long evenings on the porch (or for simulating the same look indoors if you're an apartment-dweller). These continue the modernized-Moroccan vibe also found in the hexagon table further up in today's posts. From West Elm.

Blue Koi Fish Doormat ($15)

It's almost a shame to wipe your feet on it. From World Market.

Hanging Lantern Candleholder ($25)

This would look awfully nice hanging from a hook on the porch. From Target.

Metal Herb Garden Plant Markers ($28)

With obvious references to Simon & Garfunkel, some small silvery nickel plant markers for your window herb garden. From Nina Gibson Designs.

Modern Bird Feeder ($50)

Bird 1: Dude. Check out this fabulous new feeder.
Bird 2: Tewtally.
Bird 1: We are never eating at the neighbors' houses again. I feel they don't really understand today's bird and its postmodern feeding needs.
Bird 2: Tewtally.
Bird 1: Sometimes... I think you're a bit of a yes-man, honestly.
Bird 2: I'm not sure couples counseling can solve the problems in our relationship.
Bird 1: The modern existence... it is so sleek, but empty.
Bird 2: Shut up.

From Nova 68.

Marked down from $70. This set includes twelve sets of seeds, twelve pots, growing soil, and instructions. Have something cheerful blooming on your windowsill every month of the year! From Red Envelope.

Macrame Free-Form Doormat ($20)

This is a nice change from the usual rectangle thingie. Originally $42. From Anthropologie.

"3 Tiny Girlfriends" Doll Head Planters ($29)

Jazz up your windowsill with these just a little scary porcelain doll-head planters. Or if you don't like their looks, check out the many other styles available at (aptly named) Plants On The Brain.

Calypso Seagrass Glassware Set ($12)

Marked down from $20. Think ahead to long summer evenings when these would be perfect for drinks on the patio. From Sur La Table.

Urban "Truss" Planter ($47)

Made to look like a tiny, decaying abandoned building, this piece can be used as a planter or as a candle holder (the "windows" come with your choice of colored or clear glass). From Molla Space.

Iced Branch Wreath ($25)

Stark and not a little creepy, this wreath is a nice antidote to some of the more twee things your neighbors will hang on their doors. Originally $50.

Terra Cotta Bird Ball ($45)

Ubermodern birdhouse in natural terra cotta. Marked down from $90.
