Musical glasses are meant to be played. The graphics are musical notations marking to the level of liquid in the glass that will produce the correct note when the users finger runs around the rim of the glass. Perfect for a dinner party or solo entertainment. (via bltd)

Drinks with “extras” in them – think mojitos, bloody marys, etc. – require a stirrer that’s sturdy. Not a wimpy little plastic thing or a precious spear of glass. These bamboo stirrers are serious and perfect for the job.
Posted In entertaining, house and home, kitchenI’m always messing around with one project or another, but in the past few months I’ve been gung ho on DIY. I don’t know whether I’m just noticing the great projects out there more, or maybe following some new blogs that are chock full of ideas and inspiration. And you know what? I don’t care which it is because I’m feeling more creative than ever. I’ve already started a few of the projects below and thought you might like to take a shot at them as well.

I don’t care what all of the HGTV design shows say, I can’t do without fans. I love my two clean-lined ceiling fans. The whir, the breeze, all of it. (I guess that really is all it.) And in summer, so long as the temp is below 80º, I much prefer having the windows open and the fans buzzing. Wouldn’t this Otto Adjustable Industrial Fan
I can tell you one thing for sure about these, they would never see the inside of a drawer.

I love my refurbished bar cabinet and wouldn’t trade it for anything, but I’m really drawn to The Sidebar. It would be so handsome in my entryway where I could introduce it to my guests and ask if they’d like a Sidecar from my Sidebar. (Sorry for that one. But not really.) (via Apartment Therapy)
PS: Check out the equally gorgeous glasses…

I can eat decently enough with chopsticks, at least well enough to compete with any other middle-class 31 year old female. But these make me want to toss out everything in my silverware drawer and become exclusively devoted. (via Bonnie Tsang)

Archival Clothing is the perfect example of the sort of style I prefer in everyday life – clean lines, subdued palette, classic feel. I honestly couldn’t find even on thing in their shop that I wouldn’t love to call my own. My bed is crying out for one of their MacAusland’s wool blankets and my shoulder would love a plain musette.
