this, that, and an unintended KERF tribute

House nonsense continues, but today I'm moving on with things. Getting up and getting out there. It's a good thing too, because in my travels down 7th Avenue, I found a grocery store mecca! Back to the Land is everything I've been looking for and more. I went in just to browse, and ended up coming home with basically a tribute to all the things I keep reading about on KERF. They didn't have the garlic gold nuggets that I wanted, but this non-vinegar vinaigrette was on sale, so I said what the hell. Plus crofters! And coconut butter! My oatmeal is gonna be so happy.
Food Finds
Speaking of oatmeal, I found a new cute bowl for me to put mine in! Crate and Barrel had a "welcome to the neighborhood, please take 10% off your entire purchase" thing sent to me, and they had me at "hello and welcome." I picked up my new orange oatmeal bowl, shiny metal condiment tins, magnetic measuring spoons (ooooh fancy high-tech), and these orange stripe towels. I kind of have a thing for orange in case you hadn't noticed.
Kitchen Finds
I also went back to Ikea recently to get the handles for my kitchen cupboard, and stumbled across these cute metal shelves for only $15.99. STEAL! The Mister's been searching and searching for some small shelves to put next to our tv for speakers, and I think these were just the ticket. I'm hoping to accessorize with some off-centered wall shelves above the tv that will hold the final speaker and some random dvd's and picture frames, etc. The couch side of the room is looking pretty cozy as well. You can finally see the floor instead of a big pile of broken-down cardboard.
That'll do Pig
I also got the Mister to install my bathroom shelf on the wall this week. It's not exactly high quality (woooo Target $24.99 finds), but again, I think it can be classed up some with nicer pulls and some greenery and art and such. I'm happy with our new chocolate brown towels though. We haven't bought new towels since we got married!
Master Bath is shaping up
Finally, there hasn't been enough mini around here lately. So I present to you, mini samosa's!!! They are literally, the cutest things ever. I might go gobble them up right now with my hypercolor glass of wine.

Dude! The garlic gold nuggets! I've been dying of curiosity about them and can't find them. Report back if you locate them.
