Don’t forget – if you want a chance to win a George Kovacs Grid Pendant from CSN Lighting, you only have until Monday at noon CST! If this cool, modern fixture looks as sweet to you as it does to me, spin by and enter.
A few months ago I ran a giveaway featuring The Left Handed Calligrapher (aka Nicole). The winner got to work with Nicole on their favorite quote or poem. Our winner, Liz, chose a great quote by James Beard and Nicole knocked it outta the park with her script in the Keegan font. I’m in love with the end result!
I have a pretty sweet leather chair in the corner of my office. But something comfy like this Sebastian Sofa Chair is so much more inviting, not to mention inspiring. I wonder if it’s big enough for me to curl up and cat nap on? That might push me over the edge.
Today is one of those days where I either need to take a nap or start drinking early. (Neither of which is possible – drat!) If I were to go with the latter option I’d want to imbibe in something summery and light… like a pitcher of Raspberry and Watermelon Sparkling Iced Tea. Yes, this could be just what the doctor ordered!
Ingredients: • 4 C boiling water • 3 raspberry tea bags • 1 C raspberries • 1 cinnamon stick • 1/2 C sugar • 2 tbsp Raspberry Liquor • 4 C watermelon, chilled, pureed/strained • 3 C sparkling wine, chilled (optional if the kiddies are joining you)
To the boiling water add the tea bags, 1/2 the raspberries, cinnamon stick, sugar and liquor. Let stand. Remove the cinnamon stick after 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags after 10 minutes. Let the tea mixture come to room temperature. Chill for 2 hours. Strain the tea mixture into a glass pitcher. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine strainer. Add the watermelon juice to the tea and mix well. To serve, fill a tall glass 2/3 with the raspberry/watermelon tea. Top the glass with cold sparking wine. Garnish with raspberries and watermelon cubes. Serves 9.

MOR, meaning peacock in Hindi, is as luxurious to look at as it is to use.
