Like Christmas, but even more spoilier

Rob and I went to Crate&Barrel's registry event on Sunday. There were many reasons why this was cool. To name a few: the mini quiches on the buffet table, mimosas, the product demos (wow, this $120 knife really is more awesome than this $60 one... we'll scan it), another mimosa, let's scan this $2300 hutch...

So there's a lot of editing to do, but we did manage to find a lot of practical items that we really need and are excited about. I've never cared before, but I'll admit that I'm slightly excited to have matching dishes and flatware. This is what spending three hours in Crate&Barrel will do to you:

Stockton placesettings

Acacia platter

Slate cheese board

Shun chef's knife

Bialleti cappuccino maker
