Dan Zanes is happiness squared. His music puts me in a great mood each and every time I give it a spin–even without the kids, when I’m alone in the minivan. So I’m excited to see his new project that didn’t come out of a sound studio, but a ceramics studio.

The new new Dan Zanes pairing with one of my fave shops, Fishs Eddy, the quintessential funky New York restaurant-quality tableware shop, makes so much sense.
One
look at the quirky tubas, cellos, guitars and bongo drums on this
dishware set designed by Dan and rad musician/artist Donald Saaf just
makes me smile. It’s as if the instruments are planning on jumping into
that oatmeal, because they know a good thing when they smell it.
There
is a mug with a handle perfect for little hands, a nice sized bowl, and
a plate; and the price makes it a perfect gift for a new baby. The
dishes are very solid and dense. They aren’t unbreakable, but they hold
up to my kids’ morning routine just fine. Or maybe even mine. -Eva
