I Do Need a Past Bowl...

From Rust Designs, a new bowl featuring a birch tree graphic with your initials "carved" into the tree. Complete with a platinum rim and personalized heart in the center.

Featuring 14K gold or real platinum rim. The 9" diameter bowl is large enough to hold a side dish, perfect for special meals or dramatic displays.

Sure, the Girl Scout in me is against carving into trees, but the rest of me thinks this is adorable.

Crate and Barrel Event

Apparently, Crate and Barrel is hosting registry events throughout the spring for couples looking to set up their wedding wish lists. I don't know too much about them, but plan to check it out soon.

According to the site, you get the store to yourself (and other like minded couples, I would assume) for two hours. There is food, expert advice, and you walk away with a free bowl.

More details after I check it out.

Registry Item #1

Just had to share, because I think this is the coolest thing:
Basically it's a picnic basket for big kids. Comes with everything you need for a great picnic (which for us would occur on the lawn at WolfTrap while watching a show). Comes with a blanket, 2 glasses, silverware, a cutting board, salt and pepper shakers, plates and, most importantly, a corkscrew. They also have 4 man versions in case we make friends.
