Devilled Egg Carrier
My weakness is devilled egg holders. I found this Snapware carrier at Bed Bath and Beyond. I can't wait to use it.
FieldCrest Tooth Brush holder
I went on a search through the city for a tooth brush holder that I liked. I found the one in the picture at Target. This is by Fieldcrest and is their Luxury line of bath accessories. The products are priced higher than the normal bath accessories, but they look great and are a high quality. The glass is heavy and beautiful. I may have to purchase more from Target.
