Adling a Laugh
I was alerted to this gorgeous Jonathan Adler spoon rest by Retro To Go. I love the shape, I love the colours and I love the pattern. It is available in green, pink/orange and blue HOWEVER... £38, Mr Adler? Surely, you jest?
I played 'Guess the Price' with my husband and his friend. After much discussion about what a spoon rest was and who would need one, the top estimate was 'a tenner' (£10).
I perused the 'new' section and found this funky elephant butter dish:

Did you guess £645? Probably not.

All available at Jonathan Adler UK.
The spoon rest is $38 here in the US, the butter dish $68 and the bench $595. Don't those prices roughly convert to £24, £43 and £380? You must be getting slammed with import charges!
