For the Haute Home: Designer Disposables and Cravable Ceramics

My buddy Yifat Oren, party planner extraordinaire who threw Kevin Costner’s nuptuals a few years back, turned me on to the fab finds at Joanne Hudson Basics. If you’re into tabletop decor, you’ll definitely want to bookmark this one.

Especially cool is the Bambu Veneerware line of disposable plates and serving platters.

Made from 100% organic bamboo, they cost a bit more than your average white plastic options, but they look a gazillion times more elegant and will biodegrade within for to six months after they’re tossed in the trash.

You gotta love these sporks:

Part fork, part spoon they’d be a hit at any cocktail party for their novelty factor alone!

A set of eight plates will run you $12, while a pack of eight forks, knives, and spoons will set you back about $8. Throw down nine smackeroos and you’ve got yourself 24 sporks.
I’m also enamored of the site’s Rae Dunn pinch-pot style pottery line–specifically the chair mugs ($56 for 6) and cat bowl (also available for doggie, the $30 piece is the perfect a gift for a pet lover!)

Just looking at the mugs makes me feel like I’m in a bathrobe on a deck at the beach somewhere.

Snoop around on the website only if you’re prepared to spend a little dough. The stuff is irresistable.
