I love both the look and the principle behind this set of whiskey stone shot glasses. Stick them in the freezer and they take on the same qualities as a whiskey stone, keeping things cold without watering down or compromising their taste. (via Liquorious)

Ever since Rifle Paper Co. offered up a sneak peek of their upcoming notebooks and stationery a few months ago, I’ve been chomping at the bit. And as usual when it comes to Rifle, I’m even more impressed than I’d originally anticipated. Neither is for sale just yet, but you can get your pre-order in so you’ll be one of the firsts! Looking forward to filling my set with my declining handwriting.

I can distinctly picture the set of brown agate coasters that sat on our coffee table when I was a kid. I hated them. And now I can’t seem to get enough of the stuff, my how times change. Although I’m certain the jewel tones don’t hurt either. (via Alice)

There’s a little something for everyone: the foodies, the purists, the ones who prefer frozen yogurt, the ones who prefer a little alcohol, everyone. Tweny-five options to be exact. The post I did last summer on the cold guys was one of DC’s most viewed ever, so I thought you’d all be up for another round – was I right?

My mom is forever making up (mostly delicious) recipes off the top of her head and never able to duplicate them. A kitchen recipe notebook would be perfect for her to keep track of her culinary masterpieces. The entire thing is well-designed, right down to the little pocket inside the back cover and linen cover.

It’s been awhile since I’ve run a giveaway. But I’ve been a huge fan of MOO and their clever pint-sized MiniCards since their infancy, so when they contacted me about hosting one for their latest and greatest product of course I said yes.

Upload your company logo, photos, designs, whatever. And if you’re at a loss MOO has plenty of their own you can choose from. These stickers are so versatile you can use them for product labels, name tags, business cards, photo stickers, literally anything your mind can think of!

Five winners will be chosen from the comments by MOO and myself next Tuesday, July 5, 2011 and notified. Good luck!

Drooling over these pretty nesting tables this morning. I’m not usually into bright colors when it comes to my furniture, but in this case I think that’s just what makes the tables so fantastic. Originally designed by Ercol in 1956, they’re perfectly retro yet modern.

As a child of the 80s and a designer of now, I’m very appreciative of Lox+Savvy’s bold, graphic, neon approach to their line. It make me smile to see that while things grow and evolve, in some ways they ultimately stay the same. (via Eat Drink Chic)
