Drinks with “extras” in them – think mojitos, bloody marys, etc. – require a stirrer that’s sturdy. Not a wimpy little plastic thing or a precious spear of glass. These bamboo stirrers are serious and perfect for the job.

After seeing this gorgeous canvas camera strap from Roberu I’m beginning to think it might be time to replace the guitar strap one I’ve had on mine since college. PS: I’ll take the camera, too! (via Black*Eiffel)

Summer calls for a good flask. One that says “I’m serious about my liquor, but this here’s for camping. In the park. At 10am. And this isn’t coffee.”
Posted In outdoorsI ate virtually nothing other than raw fruits and vegetables last weekend – I get so excited when my counters and fridge are overflowing! Zucchini, lettuce, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and nectarines are crowding my shelves and counters and I got to thinking about how to put them to work. In summer I rarely turn on the stove, if I can help it. Here’s some of my inspiration.

We’ve all seen journals before, but 365 Days gave me a new idea. I’m not the best at sticking to writing in mine – I really only want to write when something momentous happens, or a special day rolls around, or the urge strikes. I’d love to fill in all the days of this journal in a non-linear fashion,with no regard as to how many years it might take. Who knows, the end result just might be fascinating.

Something kind of exciting happened yesterday. You officially became my longest relationship. I started Design Crush June 5, 2007, using this as a space to gather the things that I found inspiring. Never ever imagining that anyone would be interested in what I liked or had to say. And now four years later I’ve gained so much more than put in. Friendships that I’m sure will stand the test of time, collaborations that I never expected, and new opportunities I can’t wait to share. Thank you a million times over for coming along for the ride. xo
