What food do you think needs specially-designed tableware? Answer: Seafood. How many times have we all served seafood and come up short on the utensils we need? I know there are cute plates, etc to follow the theme, but we need all the tools to get that shell off the seafood, whether it be crabs or lobster help us out here. I've seen some tools but we need a set/kit so we don't come home with only half of what we need.

Best handmade purchase: a wooden frame, I love to cover with fabrics of my choice. Great way to change up a room to re-decorate as my taste changes.

I love having herbs in the garden that come back each year, makes me feel like I have a head start on the growing season. The ultimate favorite about gardening is standing by the garden, with the breeze blowing and taking in all the sweet smell of the herbs, mint, dill, etc and brushing up against each one for that beautiful scent and thinking about what I will make with them for the evening dinner. Love that!
