How totally stylin’ is this circa-1950s Scandinavian storage cabinet? I love the sexy tapered legs, the minty teak finish, the clever swing-out bins and flip-top lids, and that grip-handle on top absolutely slays me. (And no, I don’t think it’s weird that I’m getting this worked up over a piece of furniture … ) Current bid: $305, plus $64 shipping from the Netherlands. (Not cheap, but hey — it’s an investment piece, people.) Click here to see on eBay. — Leah H.

We’ve written about our admiration for living design icon, Eva Zeisel before, so you can imagine how tickled we were to see this feature in New York magazine’s design issue about her Rockland County studio. Though she has lived on the Upper West Side (near Columbia U., near Angela M!) for decades, her design studio is on an old, eclectically decorated farmhouse. We especially love this photo of her dining room, which features a collection of gorgeous yet well-worn rugs (Tibetan? Afghanistan?), sensuous wooden candleholders, and folksy blue-and-white plates. It’s a reminder to buy things you love, not trends. Click here to see more at New York Mag.

Filled to the brim with candy, this charmingly craggy, Italian-made ceramic soup tureen is the perfect container in which to proffer sweet treats to the wee ghosts and goblins who’ll be ringing your doorbell on the 31st. And filled with rich soup or candied yams, it’ll be a great finishing touch for your Thanksgiving table setting, too. Current bid: $10. (Hurry — the auction ends Thursday evening.) — Leah H.

Old globes are so cool. First, they’re just great accessories (check out this lovely collection, posted in HGTV’s flickr pool). But they’re also a physical reminder of how much the world has changed — and continues to change — as borders shift, nations fall, and others rise. Take this minty 1967 lighted model from Denmark, for instance. Its super-stylin’ Lucite base, awesome night-light capabilities, and generous size (38 inches in diameter) aside, it’s a beautiful remnant of a political landscape that no longer exists. In other words, back when there was a U.S.S.R. Auction ends on Sunday. Current bid: $1. — Leah H.

Nice might be one of the niftiest shops I’ve come across on Etsy. They have a fantastic selection of vintage and handmade wares like the carousel glasses above, which totally remind me of ones i had when I was a kid. The range goes from quirky to elegant and everything in between. Who doesn’t need a snail bank or another stag on their wall?

The more interesting thing about nice is their free stuff program. The gist is, you buy something from the site, take a pic of the item in it’s new home and send it to the people at nice. Then they’ll make you a great mix CD and you’ll be entered into a monthly drawing to win something extra. It’s a really unique program and seems like it has a lot of heart in it.Multiple photos mean multiple entries!

Shop Nice at Etsy here. Find out more about their free stuff program at their blog. — Kim B.

Well, we’re still coming down from the high of our wonderful, fun, friend and love-filled weekend. I can’t believe it’s all over! I did cry — and not just once — but I certainly wasn’t the only one with a wet eye.

Here’s a quick post on one idea that I’m particularly proud of that you’re welcome to steal: We gave each guest a unique set of vintage salt -n- pepper shakers. I started off buying a few in some local thrift stores, but then lucked out when I spotted a whole lot of them on eBay. I was able to buy 30 from one seller and it ended up being really economical. The fun part was matching the set to the guest, and having them waiting at each table when dinner began. Shown here is a pair of kissing Indians that Chad & I set aside for ourselves, and two musical pigs for our friend Adam Snyder, who along with another talented friend, Anthony Cochran, blew everyone away with the beautiful songs they sang for us. Definitely check out eBay if you ever want to try this idea for yourself! — Angela M.

(More wedding details coming soon… No, I’m not blogging from the honeymoon — that’s a couple weeks away!)

If like us, you were completely inspired by the Dorothy Draper exhibitions and books of last fall, you’ll be excited to learn about The Potomack Company’s Dorothy Draper collection aution kicking off on September 29th. (We learned about it last week thanks to Mitchell Owens in The New York Times). The pieces are all from the Greenbrier Resort in West Virigina, which Draper decorated in 1948. You don’t need to have a surplus of rooms to find space for these items though, like this sweetly carved nightstand above (est $200-$300). Click here to see the catalog.

Shortly after I fell ridiculously in love with my now-husband, a moldmaker and casting technician by trade, I bought him an antique glove mold (around $48) from San Francisco’s Gypsy Honeymoon. Later we picked up quite a few more at antique markets. It appears a mini-trend has occurred — a friend is purchasing many as she can find to use as centerpieces at her wedding (she’s going to tie a ribbon around the ring finger of each). And Fish’s Eddy has added reproduction glove molds to their offerings. I love how glossy they are, and I can’t deny that the colorful versions you can apparently buy in their NYC store are fab, but even starting at $99 they’re twice as expensive as the very first mold I purchased, and nearly triple what I’ve paid for subsequent finds. My advice? Get a vintage version on eBay while you still can. - Mary T.
