Baggu + Mociun
Baggu has always been on top of things, and for their latest series of reusables they partnered up with MOCIUN. The result is a series of bright, boldly graphic reusable bags that look so good I want to use one as a purse.

Fragrant
As you wash your hands, these soap rings slowly disappear into nothing. I like, I like very much. (via The Jealous Curator)

Summer Sangrias
I don’t really think think any cocktail says summer quite like sangria. Sure, margaritas are a close second but not quite the same. You need fresh fruit for sangria, and probably a deck or porch of some sort. At the least a picnic blanket (it’s a requirement, I looked it up). Whoever decided the addition of fruit could make wine even better is a genius. [Click on the photos to be taken to the recipe.]

State Pride
1canoe2 always has happy things, but their illustrated state prints are one of my favorite things yet. I think I need to snag Pennsylvania and Oklahoma, the two states I’ve lived in longest. (via Oh So Beautiful Paper)

Macrame Plant Hangers

I think I’ve mentioned before that I grew up in a row house. That didn’t leave a lot of room for a garden or the plants that my mom wanted around, so she relied on a few macrame plant hangers in front of our living room windows. I wish I could say that these are some revved up modern versions, but they’re not. They’re exactly the same and that’s just what I love. In fact, I think I’m going to make a few for my own living room windows.

Emergency Cocktail Station
I’d like to gift every friend who becomes a new homeowner with one of these Emergency Cocktail Stations. Mainly because it’s amazing, but also because homeownership requires copious amounts of alcohol some days.

Son of a Sailor
Bright, natural leather and brass pieces from Son of a Sailor (great name!) that I can’t get out of my mind. If I had that necklace I don’t think I’d ever take it off. (via Aesthetic Outburst)
