An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails
If my weaknesses for cocktails, illustrations, and cookbooks all got together and had a baby (don’t think about it too hard) it would come out as this book.
An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails, by Orr Shtuhl and Elizabeth Graeber, tells the tales of the heyday of cocktails, from the origin of the margarita to the grandeur of the first celebrity bartender with some modern twists. Along the way, this fun, handheld guide is dabbled with beautiful illustrations and, of course, recipes.

The Royal Plateful
Freelance illustrator Owen Davey teamed up with Orange: The Feed to create a series of 33 plates, each depicting an ordinary event of the general public during the hype and lead-up to England’s royal wedding. I have to say, as much as I loved watching the pomp and circumstance of the event I much prefer Davey’s tongue in cheek plates to the tacky commemorative atrocities for Will and Kate.

Warren Krupshaw
Extremely macro photography has always fascinated me, actually anything that my own eyeball can’t see on its own fascinates me. Warren Krupshaw’s gem and mineral photography goes beyond that, it kills me. Not only does Krupshaw take these intricately beautiful shots of the pieces he collects, he also tell you how to do both for yourself. Now if that’s not generosity, I’m not sure what is.

PS: Isn’t it funny how drawings of gems and minerals look more like photographs and photos more like drawings?

Whiskey Stone Shot Glasses
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)

Botanical Notebooks
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.
