Mojito Madness

Last summer was sangria, this summer is mojitos – at least by my humble declaration! I love the fresh and simple ingredients all of these recipes use. A mojito is a great excuse to use the last pieces in the fruit basket or to experiment a little and try something new with herbs and other essences. (Click on the image to be taken to the recipe.)

White Noise

Artist Alyson Fox always hits it out of the park, and I meant every time. Jewelry, illustration, and beyond. White Noise is a new dinnerware collection in partnership with Ink Dish featuring a subtle geometric design that’s simultaneously modern and retro. (You’ll be able to find it after launching next month at NYIGF at booth 4221!)

June

Breakfasts of Noosa yoghurt, uncooked oatmeal, and blueberries.
So many hazy hot days.
Plenty of hydrangeas stolen from my mom’s yard.
Lazy days spent with these two.

 

Fostered this little guy – Snoopy – for three weeks. He goes to his forever home today. Sniff.
Discovered the simple awesomeness of avocado toast.
Paid too much for delicious Rainier cherries!
Started my first ever garden.

Fresh Threads

I usually find drawer fresheners cloyingly floral and very un-me, but that’s not the case with Fresh Threads. All three available scents – Subtle Citrus, Classic Clean, and Soft Amber – pass my test. And they’re not only good for use in drawers, I also popped a few in my coat closet, cabinets, and under the driver’s seat in my car. The patterned prints are nice and modern, and each one even has a tiny pop-out circle so you can thread some twine and hang wherever you please.
