I'll Tumble for Ya!

I've finally signed up for a Tumblr account, so going forward, Food with Eyes will now transition to that site. Welcome to the new Food with Eyes! Hopefully I'll post more regularly, but we'll see...

Pinteresting Peach Posts

I've finally succumbed to the latest social media site, Pinterest:

LushiePeach's Pinterest

As far as I can tell, this is optimal for people who now find taking a picture or scanning something and uploading it to Blogger or Flickr too much work (i.e. me). I think I can still manage to click on the "Pin it" button while I'm surfing the web, though.

Merry Christmas!

Movers and Shakers

I was recently flipping through the June 2011 issue of Martha Stewart Living and was pleasantly surprised to find this article on collecting vintage fruit and vegetable-shaped salt and pepper shakers:

Although only the first page features anthropomorphic shakers, this is still a step in the right direction. One thing I feel has been really lacking in the magazine is food with eyes. I always enjoy the collecting articles, especially when someone's unique collection is profiled. As I have not seen a food with eyes collection profiled yet, I would be happy to volunteer my collection, Martha.

Incidentally, these great shakers come from the the New York antique store Mood Indigo, which has a fantastic array of 1930s-50s kitchen and bar ware.
