The Halloween mood has struck me early this year. I'm ready to start stacking hay bales and pumpkins on the front porch. That must be why I fell instantly in love with the spider designs of artist Sarah Cihat's Rehabilitated Dishware.

First of all, the concept is eco-fabulous. She scours thrift shops and clearance aisles for ceramic dinnerware that she takes to her Brooklyn studio and reglazes and refires into chic and cheeky designs.

Check out her site for other fun graphic motifs and online purchasing. Available at Rose and Radish in San Francisco.
