Diana sent me the cutest link today to a kitchen product she thought I’d love and she was right, I do! I do! These M-cups (no not a bra!) are nesting dolls for the kitchen made to measure and boy are they cute. They’re from Fred & Friends and they accurately measure 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 and 1 full cup, and are made from food safe, heavy duty plastic that will last for many years to come.

I love understated goods with personality, simple designs and shapes that have just a little bit more to them always make me smile. :)

Thanks Diana for the tip, I might have missed these otherwise!

Those are so cute. They would make the perfect stocking filler for someone like me who loves to bake. I had a look at their site but couldn’t see if they deliver to the UK!

I WANT these! Did you see the adorable flower clip light in the catalog, too? My daughter might have to have one of those… and then I might have to sneak in those measuring cups! :-)
