Decidedly un- fall, the Corkscrew is my personal shove off to summer.
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 oz light rum
– 1/2 oz dry vermouth
– 1/2 oz peach liqueur
– Squeeze of lime juice
Combine all four ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a twist of lime peel.

Apple Butter is one of the true signs that fall has arrived in my book.

A few weeks ago Pantone released their color predictions for Spring 09 and I have to say, I’m really in love with most of them.
“Spring traditionally evokes a sense of freshness and new beginnings, with sprouting shoots and blossoming flowers that inspire designers to breakout of the winter doldrums. Bright colors return to the top 10 list for spring ’09, as designers incorporate vibrant pops into their collections, yet temper the vibrancy with deeper, translucent or neutral tones.”
I’m loving these line drawings by Robert Samuel Hanson. Nothing like animating something stationary to pique my interests and simultaneously freak me out. (Just a little.)
I’ve grown herbs before but always neglect to use them. And then I feel guilty. I love that the Herb Stand put herbs and scissors in the same place – making it way more probable that I’d use both. And that’s not even the end of the functionality story – the pots are also easy to separate or attach to one another.

Swoon.
The Cappuccio is perfect for fall days when a hood/scarf is definitely in order. If only it weren’t freakin’ 85º here today. (Although the model is sporting a tank. Hmmmm….)
Posted In wear itI adore these Something Good is Going to Happen prints from Valentina Design. I want to put them right in front of me so I can stare 24/7 to remind myself that it is, in fact, true.
