The So Chic Wines site is in french. And I don’t read french. But what I can tell you is that they have some lovely packaging. And that starting in September 2008 you’ll be able to purchase this insanely cool trio of samples housed in test tubes. If you need more information you’ll have to look up the online translator, which at the moment I’m too lazy to do myself!

Watermelon is the quintessential summer fruit in my mind. Even if raspberries, strawberries and all the others don’t hang around all year they’re usually available in the freezer section. Not watermelon – so get it while you can!
Watermelon? In a cheesecake? Oh yeah.

I don’t own a cake stand. And I think it’s because I’m just waiting for the perfect one to come along. (Hmmm…. might also explain why I’m single at the moment…) Check out these beauties over at CHOW.
Although I imagine after a few months it would get a little old…

I don’t know what’s up with this summer. It always seems like in the past things have gotten lazier, slower and more laid back. Not this year. Almost the opposite has happened: work is busier and life feels, well, faster. And I honestly don’t like it one bit! Does that mean that once summer is over and done with things are going to speed up even more and I’m going to have even less Me Time?
This Weekend:
• the Olympics, which could go unsaid but won’t!
• put together garage shelving
• finish organizing office/studio
• relinquish all holiday decor to aforementioned garage shelving
• grocery shopping
• get rid of final cardboard boxes
Happy 08.08.08!
Happy Weekend!

I’ve never attempted homemade shortcakes before, but this recipe for Peach and Blackberry Shortcakes makes it look remarkably simple and delicious.

I couldn’t be any more excited about the Olympics if I tried. (Actually, I don’t even have to try.) The next few weeks of my life will revolve around watching television and, dammit, I’m not ashamed to admit it!
These stemless wine glasses are handmade in Colombia of recycled glass from old car windows. Sturdy and strong, the thick glass has a slight green hue from the tint originally added to lessen the sun’s glare. Also available in beer glasses and a large multi-purpose bowl. Very, very cool.
Glassine envelopes. Maps. Stamps. Tickets.
Wow.
This destination wedding suite is stunning.
Sometimes the best way to prepare any main ingredient is to go the simple route. Bare bones with just a little something extra. Like these grilled peaches with bourbon vanilla whipped cream perhaps.
