The Five Senses Collection by Kahla wins our devotion. Every inch offers elegant utility. Our space conscious favorite is the baking dish with accessories.

A friend arrived one Thanksgiving with two artfully wrapped dish towels. Later he made himself indispensable by unwrapping the gift himself and helping with the dishes. These Basil and Parsley 100% organic cotton towels are so pretty they won't need much wrapping.

Cran Raspberry Rum Relish


Small apartments are not always the venue for your bigger holiday gatherings. That's why we are expert side dishers. Try this alternative to plain cranberrry sauce. So far it's been a hit everywhere we've taken it. Recipe follows.
