A happy little gift

My husband never ceases to amaze me in his ability to pay attention to the little things. Case and point:

A few weeks before my birthday, we were watching "Giada at Home." I know some people hate her, but I credit that woman for teaching me how to cook for an Italian husband. She's a godsend for those of us from Middle America with no discernible cultural heritage.

Anyway, she had the most adorable little kitchen accessory: a porcelain egg crate that was too cute for words. I casually mentioned how adorable it was to Mike, not really thinking anything of it.

A few weeks later my dreaded 27th birthday rolled around. And what do you know? My husband had managed to track down that little egg crate from Anthropologie, which is even more impressive considering he didn't even know Anthropolgie existed.

Is that not the cutest? It comes in blue or white, but the blue looks great with white eggs (which is normally what we buy).

It such a simple thing, but it makes me smile so I wanted to share it with you.
