It's getting yucky out there dear readers. Everyone I've spoken to in every country this week has said one thing. "It's raining." The WORLD is raining right now. What gives?? I can't believe it's almost time to take the outdoors in, no more garden parties, no more picnics and back to warm snuggly <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/cooking/about-food/winter-comfort-food-0103">comfort food</a>.

While I don't have room for a dinner party..if I did, I would love it to look something like the above...

1. <a href="http://shopterrain.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=ST&amp;Product_Code=HOUS-TERR-36-001001&amp;Category_Code=HOUS-TERR">Wood &amp; Glass terrarium from Terrain</a>, $188. A bit elaborate for a bread basket..but oh so fun. 2. <a href="http://shopterrain.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=ST&amp;Product_Code=HOUS-FIEL-96-001001&amp;Category_Code=HOUS-FIEL">Ash wood cutting board </a>at Terrain, $32.
