hi fishers.

spring is in full effect, at least here in the store it is. i can honestly say we had a pretty barren winter, and thank the sea monkeys for delivering us some brand spanking new eye-talian pieces that will be sure to make your eyes pop! don't believe me? here is a little sampling....

we have loads of new products so come and check it out. lots of cute little things to fill easter baskets like coin purses and pencil cases by blue Q, these oh so cute matchstick bottles by jen pearson designs and the ever so cute mini tube top lamps by pablo designs. no, i'm not gonna post those pretty pictures, you just gotta come down and see for yourself!!! hehehe.

also, last but definitely not least...

check out the opening reception for a/d curated (a curious little new pop up shop) only available here at fishcake. take home a bit of the shop or take the whole thing. it has been collected and curated with uber chic style by our friend dean geleynse. oggle pieces by john koga, and also various artists around the world. and for those of you who are like me with budget issues, there are limited edition prints available for only $25.

also, still showing artwork by hal lum. catch you in the pond soon!!

steal that look

for all of you who always ogle our countertop....


i came across this on remodelista.. and thought of you

this cool industrial kitchen was designed by tank architects of toyko. a low cost solution to high style and great function. what are you waiting for? go steal this look!

let's get sunny!

summer is fast approaching, that means barbecuing, friends and fun fun times. our friends used to gather at our condo barbecue area in past years, but now since we're homeless and living in grammy's house there is much overhaulin' to do in order to get it ready for summer.

i've been browsing pinterest for some fresh ideas for my back yard makeover. but i came across this from lisa's blog (bungalownine). love how clean and simple this looks.

how will you be getting ready for summer?

let them eat apples

wow wow wow! so my love affair continues...

eat on this!

steve martin dropped these gorgeous dishes off yesterday. they make me want to go out and throw a dinner party. each one is hand made and has a character all it's own. these pieces are available for commissioned work. the lead time is 4-6 weeks, not bad for something hand made in hawaii. the 8.5" dinner plate retails for only $12. and the 7" dessert plate retails for $10. quite the deal if you ask me.

we are collectors of happy

one of the lines that i hear most from many of you are.."i have no more space on my walls for anymore artwork!" i often wonder what you're walls must look like.

working in fishcake makes it hard to live with bare walls. i'm sad when we're in between art shows because we have nothing on the walls for a short time. we have all the basics but the art is the accessories that catapult us into rockstars! so artists! thank you!

here are a few of my favorite images from around the web of art covered walls. psst....it's a hint, buy more artwork!

terribly sorry as i never know where i find these images...many of them have been saved and cluttering up my desktop. wish i could give credit where it's due...

happy holidays, we love you!

thank you for all your support, hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.
