ON THE BAR

It’s a holiday weekend and most of us will be partaking in drink or few. I’m headed to Savannah for a day on the water, and when boating I tend to drink beer, seven hours or so on the water and liquor drinks can get dangerous. After a long day on the boat I do enjoy a Salty Dog or a Greyhound. There’s some sort of nostalgia for me with these grapefruit cocktails. Probably due to stealing sips from my parent’s drinks in my youth…

The Salty Dog (made with gin)

  • 2 oz gin
  • 4 oz grapefruit juice
  • salt for rimming
  • lemon or lime wedge for garnish

Pink Grapefruit Greyhound (made with vodka)

PARTY * PARTY

This past weekend we hosted a Sip and See (funny name, I know) for Geoff’s dear friends from Sun Valley. The weather was perfect and it was a fun day that lasted well into the night. Luckily a friend snapped some nice photos of the spread!

SUMMER SUIT

It’s swimsuit season (eek!).
I’m debating adding a little high-waisted number to the mix…

DECK TOWEL

Summer is here and my linen love carries over to the beach towel. Lightweight, quick drying and odor-resistant linen makes a perfect option for the beach or pool.  The Deck Towel is large enough for two (70″x57″) and when not at the beach can be used as a bedspread, picnic blanket, tablecloth, anything your imagination can conjure up.  Deck Towels are made in New York City from the finest linens and get better with each wash.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DECK TOWEL AND MY OLD TERRY CLOTH FRIEND?

A Deck Towel is lighter.

A Deck Towel is 20 times more absorbent.

A Deck Towel dries faster.

A Deck Towel won’t track sand.

A Deck Towel grows softer with wear.

A Deck Towel folds to the size of your beach read.

A Deck Towel comes with free shipping.

A Deck Towel has a 60-day money-back guarantee.

FAB. DUTCH COPPER MUGS

The copper mugs I picked up from FAB. arrived this week and I’m in love. Pretty soon I’ll be enjoying a Government Mule out of one and it will taste that much better. If you aren’t familiar with FAB. it’s an online deal site, much like the many out there now, only they find unusual and up and coming designers to work with. It’s a great place to discover new things and snag the occasional deal!

BEDROOM INSPIRATION

Our bedroom is pretty much the last room in the house in need of some attention. The walls need to be painted, we hope to get a new bed frame and I have a chifferobe in desperate need of a redo. I’ve been back and forth on the wall color and can’t decide if I want to go dark or light. We have the grey from the dining room and a blueish white left over, or maybe I should go with something totally different. The bedding and pillows are all different shades of grey , the duvet’s from West Elm, and my AREA bedding should be arriving soon. Naturally I’m searching Pinterest for ideas and now I just have to make some decisions!

* one grey wall   *a single grey stripe  * a dark indigo  *light and airy   *dark and cozy

*bright accents  *stripe up top  *stripe in the middle  *bright door  *bright dresser

CALLIGRAPHY UPDATE

My Calligraphy class has come to a close so I thought I’d share a few photos of my progress. There’s a lot more to learn, but hopefully with practice I’ll put it all together and receive some nice results. Now I just have to find the time to practice and think of new projects…
