Chow, bella

Perfect for ladies who lunch (or grown-up girls who like to have dinner parties), these “Fashion Plates” from Anthropologie dress up any table. They cost $48 for a set of four, each in a different pastel shade and each adorned with a different drawing and word, such as “Amore,” “Salute,” “Ciao!” and “Bella.” You can get a set of matching “Girly Mugs” for $40. For information, call (800) 543-1039 or visit www.anthropologie.com.

Kate’s kitchen

Kate McCartney of the Old Iron Inn in Caribou has released her second cookbook, “Cooking with Kate.” The book is full of funny anecdotes about life at the bed and breakfast, as well as recipes for more than just breakfast. It costs $10 and is available at the inn, Mr. Paperback in Caribou, Cozy Corner in the Aroostook Centre Mall and Pieces of Eight Bookstore, both in Presque Isle, and by calling the inn at 492-IRON (shipping and handling are extra).
