One way to save time and save on ink when prepping your correspondence is to use of a custom embosser. So pretty in white…and lasts forever (unless you move, obviously).

My youngest nephew is 1 today. I have so much love for this little guy. I hope he eats like a champ and has many fun walking adventures today (as has been his routine for the last little while…why change what works?).
Happy Birthday Holt!

Does your flatware set have a history?
My everyday flatware (I am not mature enough to have a separate fancy set) is a hand-me-down set from my parents. My dad was working in Sweden for a while and he brought back this Boda Buffe cutlery set as a gift for my mom.
The set has been in my possession for almost a decade and I still love its design. I’ve been in search of replacement pieces but I’ve been unsuccessful. I did, however, come across this ad from an Australian newspaper, The Age, from 1983. Fun! (I don’t have the stand, by the way.)

While I have no desire to buy a new flatware set anytime soon, it is still interesting to see what’s available in simple, sleek, and modern design. Maybe one day I will find it necessary to own more than one set.

Arne Jacobsen flatware, $100, MoMa
Villeroy & Boch flatware, $346 (on sale) 60 piece set, Macy’s
Update: My set looks a bit yellow in the photo but I can assure you the handles are very white. Also, my dad wanted me to add that he bought the set in 1980 in Stockholm.
