Vintage Dishes...

Dale and I share a well-known (among our friends and family) love of retro and vintage things (particularly things with a midcentury modern aesthetic--in case you want to get us something!) and our dear friends Lara & Trish (mom and daughter) generously offered us Trish's mom's set of dishes from the 1950s. We already use vintage dishes everyday and were very interested! These are the dishes--they are ADORABLE! Pink, with a black and white pinecone/nature theme. They were produced by Taylor Smith Taylor and are the Pink Dwarf Pine design.

LOVE THEM! Thanks Trish & Lara for thinking of us and giving us such a lovely set!

New Sushi House!

A big event for us in Oak Park. Our favorite suburban sushi chain has moved into Oak Park. Sushi House is always tasty! It just so happens to be located at the end of our block!

They don't have an official sign up yet but we were amused by the temporary sign...

The dining area is lovely--bamboo and neutral tones with splashes of red and orange.

We've already been twice--we love the sushi rolls!
