I'm so sick of seeing boring, unimaginative headlines like this one: "Pie to Cupcake: Time's Up," which was featured in The New York Times. There's a din of "___ is the new cupcake" and you know what? It's stupid. There is not actually a competition, and, yes, cupcakes can coexist with pie, macarons, whoopie pies, donuts, cookies, brownies and other desserts.
Pie had been lurking below the radar in recent years: taking cover during the ice cream trend, perhaps waiting to see which way the macaron tide would turn. (For proof that the cupcake craze has gone too far, consider the new turkey cranberry cupcake with gravy in the batter from Yummy Cupcakes in Los Angeles.)

valentine's day Eccola, Expanding in LA...Deserving of a Shopping Spree
valentine's day My virtual shopping spree turned up these beauties: A Rare, Signed Fornasetti Screen, 1953, a Pair of 1960's Jo Hammerborg Tulip Pendants, a "Traccia" Silver leaf Bird Leg Table by Meret Oppenheim, a "Tre pezzi PL19" Armchair by Franco Albini and Franca Helg, 1957, an for a dash of color, an Italian 40's Ceramic Horse Head.
I was just reading an article in the New York Times about the recent expansion of Eccola, an LA store specializing in Italian Mid-century furniture. For the complete story, click on over to the NY Times article HERE.
valentine's day Eccola carries pieces by such notables as Gio Ponti (!), Franco Albini, and Osvaldo Borsani. I am besotted with the Italian Modernists, so I hopped over to take a look at Eccola's lovely inventory HERE. As you can see, my virtual shopping spree was most productive.
If nothing else, check out the intro on Eccola's website. It'll rev up your day.
