Today's Prescription: Check out new colors in the Julia Knight collection.

Julia Knight's enamel coated metal serveware is one of our most popular collections. The small peony, classic or lily bowls make sweet hostess or shower gifts. For a slightly more substantial gift, the medium sized heart, lily or pedestal bowls make great birthday or thank you gifts. You can add a beautiful peony or classic spreader to any item to make it more substantial. This Spring we've brought in two new colors - Azure and Platinum. The azure clam shell bowl would be a wonderful gift for someone who loves the shore or maybe has a house by seaside. Platinum is one of my new favorites from Julia Knight. The ice bucket & tongs as well as the octagonal tray in platinum are truly elegant pieces that would make perfect wedding gifts.

Today's Prescription: Keep it simple & elegant when it comes to entertaining.

If storage space is limited in your house, when it comes to being prepared for entertaining, you'll want to make sure you have the right, useful pieces. It is easy to accumulate beautiful pieces that just aren't useful or truly functional products that are a snooze as far as design. You can entertain elegantly and easily if you invest in quality, simple pieces, like those in the Atticus home collection.

Atticus' focus is on utility and simplicity. You should get years of enjoyment (and we think compliments!) out of their products. For an elegant bar, you can't go wrong with the Placid Iced Bucket and Tongs. The built in "holder" for the tongs is a brilliant, and hard to find attribute. The Bamboo sectional server is perfect for chips & dip, crudites, or many other appetizer options. Take out the glass dishes and use the tray on its own.

If you're in the market for contemporary dinnerware, you must check out the Atticus Pacific collection. In soft, muted shades of driftwood, sand, seablue and seafoam, you can mix and match or choose your favorite one for all your pieces. Of course they are freezer-, oven-, dishwasher-, and microwave-safe, too.

Earth Day is this week, so I also want to highlight that Atticus is also committed to responsible design by striving to "use the finest materials and employ highly skilled artisans who handcraft each piece with pride, ensuring that [their] products are timelessly beautiful and built to last." Additionally, when possible they choose more environmentally sensitive materials and processes. So, maybe tabletop items made from recycled soda pop bottles isn't your thing, but you can do your part by buying quality products that won't end up in a landfill next year!

Today's Prescription: Use the kitchen tools fine chefs all over the world turn to - STAUB.

Not only is Staub cast iron cookware attractive, it works wonderfully and can last you a lifetime with proper care. Professional chefs love Staub, and you will see it used in many fine restaurants. If you're a novice in the kitchen, you will quickly fall in love with your Staub purchase as well. We've brought in a selection of cocottes (dutch/french ovens) and teakettles in a variety of colors.

In case you are not familiar with the benefits of cooking with cast iron, you should know that it redistributes heat evenly and is perfect for slow cooking to bring out the most intense flavors in your meals. Staub's self-basting spikes on the underside of each heavy lid ensure continuous, natural basting. Their products are chip resistant and durable, require no seasoning, and are ready to use immediately so bring one home today!

Today's Prescription: Dinnerware for the modern, casual family

This smart, fresh, contemporary dinnerware collection comes in steel or stone colors. Don't worry, it is dishwasher and microwave safe.

Use it daily, but don't be afraid to dress it up. With some crystal stemware, and platinum trimmed glass accent pieces like those available from Annieglass, you can surely set a fabulous table. Add some modern, graphic candlesticks from Nambe or Marquis by Waterford and you'll be ready to feast!
