A doxie by Jonathan Adler = Love at First Sight

Should a certain husband still be on the look out for a birthday present for his devoted wife, might I ever so subtly suggest that this might just be the perfect gift? You'll find it here -- and if you order now, you just might get it in time for said devoted wife's birthday. There. Was that (un)subtle enough?


For those of you who AREN'T my husband, I still highly recommend checking out the latest and greatest on Adler's website. His new salt & pepper shakers are beyond adorable. At $48 a set, they're a great option for birthdays, hostess gifts -- or just a treat for yourself. I find the Garden of Eden set (shown above) particularly tempting. Other offerings include napkin rings (the owl is my favorite, though the $18 a pop price tag is a little silly), place card holders (be still my heart, more dachshunds, but again, $28 apiece is ludicrous), and a whole lot more lacquer.

Happy shopping!

Oh those are cute! I like the fish ones!

And yes, you were quite subtle. HA! You better let us know when your birthday is so we can all with you a collective HAPPY BIRTHDAY! From all over the internet!

Does your husband actually read your blog to get these hints? My husband couldn't tell you the name of either of my blogs! ;)

Oh this would be perfect for my friend who's just bought a little daschund!

You have to get that! It's way too cute.

Christy -- My birthday is June 14 (Flay Day)!

Beth -- My husband does in fact read my blog; but then again, I sort of make him. :)

LOVE the doxie!!! They've got to be the cutest dogs ever - I've been smitten ever since we got one when I was in the 6th grade!

Adorable! I love any accessory that you can use at a dinner/cocktail party. Especially if it has animals! Future grandparents in law gave us a big teal ceramic serving dish shaped like four interlocking dolphins. At first I was like, huh? But we use it all the time, ALL THE TIME, when we entertain, and I absolutely love it...Stuff with character is the best!!!

Your taste is suburb Averill. I totally would love to have any of those, but have to say, LOVE dachshunds. Leave it to Jonathan Adler. I ♥ him!

Thanks for all your kind words today, they mean the world (:

I just have to say that you have officially gotten me hooked on 2jane. I clearly lived in a dark, dark cave that lacked any pretty white ceramics (among other goodies). When my husband sees how much I've spent, I'm totally sending him to you:0)
