Wedding Poll #4: Items You Can Register for At Crate and Barrel

| Comments (4)

The wedding is Sunday. With the number of people arriving from out of town today and tomorrow, I doubt I will have much more time to blog until we get done with it all. This morning, though, I am doing laundry. What better accompaniment than a wedding poll related to the home? So vote early and often in this poll, and also remember to vote (only once) in the actual elections that are taking place right now.

First, I know we're all very concerned about making sure that we're using the correct plates for serving various foods. That's why it's so handy to have plates shaped like the food you're serving. Here is Asparagus.

Santa is supposed to be a jolly round guy, but not this round. Does the world really need a Santa Ball?

Your decor is obviously behind the times if it does not include a plate that could also double as... never mind, I don't have any idea what this could double as, but it's Hard to Look At.

If your guests are disoriented from looking at the plates, you may want to warn them away from this centerpiece bowl. Someone Could Lose An Eye.

Another area of potential danger would be these napkin rings. Can you say Geiger Counter? And I'm not sure if they will maintain their solid state at room temperature.

I have No Comments on this next one. Words are not up to the challenge.

It is essential for every well-appointed home to have these. If you're a squirrel. Because if you remember the strategy used for Asparagus above, you can clearly see that these are for acorns.

I know! Let's make something that looks like leaves, except ugly, and then we'll float them in water, and then we'll set them On Fire!

While I admit I often have trouble remembering the date, I rarely think it's The Seventies again.

We close our poll with an item that saves money and time. I know you don't normally think of saving money when you think of Crate and Barrel. But maybe you like to have parties but can't afford to buy a bunch of food every time. Or maybe you just don't want to spend all that time cooking. You're in luck! Check out Reusable Food. Eddie Izzard says it's 70% how you look, and I don't see why this can't apply to food.

That's it for now. Have a lovely weekend!

OK, so I actually kind of like Someone Could Lose an Eye. No Comments has to be the worst--what is that, potpourri?

I hope all goes well with the wedding. Have a great time.


Should I be embarrassed to admit that I have an asparagus plate? The little shapes channel away any clinging water, so it doesn't get soggy...that's my excuse.

Hard to Look At. I have a headache now.

See you tomorrow, good luck and try to get some rest!

If I'd seen the pod larvae in many colors before the wedding.... doh! Opportunity missed for a memorable gift! You would have talked about it for years... although mainly to remind yourselves not to let me in your house, I'd wager.
