If I were a whisky drinkin’ kinda gal I’d be rushing out to buy a bottle from Douglas Laing and Co. Check out those old-school, pharmaceutical-looking labels and bottles! Actually, I think I could be a girl-who-buys-whisky-just-for-the-bottle for these.
Realwatermelon Jell-o, thanks to The Martha. Oh, and I’ll take a side of those adorable mugs and spoons, too. (I’m sure she won’t be using them again!)
The single and double Octopuses are the classic chandelier reinvented, modernized and octopusized. The fixtures have a central globe light from which lightbulb-footed legs protrude – the double has two sets as opposed to the singles one. Sculptural and functional at the same time and so much fun.
I la-la-love these secondomes. I’ve always liked cloches, but thought they were a bit stuffy. I love how these are so much fun and almost cartoon-like in their design. The handles are the best part!
The Watermelon Wave looks perfectly summery. I could use one. Stat!
Ingredients: – 4 oz Tequila – 3 oz GranGala Triple Orange Liqueur – 3 oz Stock Maraschino Liqueur – 20 oz Fresh Watermelon Juice – 2 oz Pomegranate Juice – 2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice Garnish: Watermelon wedge
To make fresh watermelon juice, place fresh watermelon without seeds in a juicer or a blender and mix well until smooth.
Mix all the ingredients together in a pitcher and stir. Strain the mixture into goblets over ice. Garnish with cubes of watermelon on cocktail picks or a wedge perches on the glass.
I’m dying to attempt a granita. I don’t think it could get any easier than this watermelon granita and talk about a healthy dessert? This is probably as close as it gets.
Some people don’t have everyday tableware that’s as nice as WASARA. And it’s made of paper. Aesthetically pleasing, well-designed paper. Because even though each piece can only be used once before being discarded, everything is made from reed pulp and bagasse (sugarcane waste) which are most definitely biodegradable. Yet at the same time WASARA is still extremely sturdy and durable while in use. Lovely design, lovely product.
Raquel Aparicio illustrates beautiful pieces for books, magazines and advertising. She’s one of the rare ones who’s work takes my breath away and leaves me at a loss for words. Enjoy.
Red and Yellow Watermelon Soup looks super refreshing and perfect for those nights when it’s too hot to even think about firing up anything that emits heat.
