Smeg: A Love Story ❤

I never really thought I would have a crush on an appliance but my love for the Smeg Fridge borders on the point of obsession. My ultimate dream kitchen would have 1920s vintage tile and a Smeg in light green. More of this kawaii loft at Micasa.

Based in Italy, they only recently became available in the U.S. and they are not cheap! I did find this a deal via Amazon, the retail price of $1999 is pretty on par but you would save with free shipping and no sales tax in most areas.

Destined to become a pop icon, if not one already. I love this illustration by Rojo & Garabato a groovy design team from Spain, be sure to check out their magazine!

I have only found the single door style available on this side of the pond. Still it's all about the color choices. Even the "cream" looks better than your average white fridge. I would love the one on the bottom right, with the freezer on the bottom. Oh and the light blue is pretty dreamy.

They even do custom finishes...the mind boggles!

Tricks & Treats

All week on Pie we will celebrate one of my favorite holidays, All Hallows Eve. First up, some haunting finds from last weekends wonderful Country Living Fair hosted by Country Living Magazine. 

With Halloween just a week away, many booths included spooky inspired wares. Among my favorites were Cottage Farm Chic a dealer at Lakewood 400 who had these fun little pumpkins...

as well as these sweet witches...

and even a few tricks we these crowd stopping 3D photos. 

 A witchy birdhouse with enough whimsy to display all year round by Willow Nest Farm. 

Sweet little tags from the Ribbon Emporium and a carved owl by one of the many artists showing at the fair. 

How about a knock from this pair of trick or treaters?
