Funny Food Signs and Halloween Ideas

Perhaps it's because lunch is next on my schedule.
I adore funny food signage, packaging and displays. A lot. Frequent stops are made on the aisles of grocery stores to whip out my iPhone and snap away.
We've grown familiar enough with each other and you either tolerate or get my sense of humor, so I now feel comfortable sharing this hobby with you.
This is the screen- saver on my iPhone.
This was taken during a dining show on local TV.
And I've been lucky to be included in Jenn's great costume ideas 3 times. Check out Blue Butterfly Vintage's blog for lots of Halloween inspiration.
My plan is to dress as Isabella Blow. What other great costumes will be seen this year?

Kitchen Consignments

For any locals, there is a somewhat new business in Annapolis that any foodie should check out. The Backburner is a tiny shop chock- full of consigned kitchen and cooking items. From retro cookbooks and glassware to new in box Kitchen-Aid mixers, Annie (the proprietress) has an always rotating assortment of goodies.  
I'll be stopping in this week to drop off unused tart pans, a vintage set of four nesting Pyrex bowls in Butterfly Gold and some overflow barware. Who knows what I'll discover?
