Stirrings makes some tasty cocktail mixers, but who knew they also make a line of cocktail sodas created specifically to be paired with spirits? Me neither. I’ve always loved the design of their bottles and like how they really let the product speak louder than anything else. But I’m a little in love with the soda packaging and candy-like colors. How sweet would a row of these look adorning your “bar”?
I’m clumsy. I’ve never been a server at a restaurant or bar simply for the fact that I don’t think I could pull off the walking-with-food-and-beverage-laden-tray thing. That’s said, the MuNiMulA Wine Tray is genius. This I could do, sparing carpeting and dry clean only clothing in the process.

Let’s combine two things that are separately wonderful and fun and make something even more amazing. Ready?
Number birthday candles + sparklers = Number Sparklers.

Love the aerodynamic chrome design of this Mr. Fizz seltzer bottle! I don’t own one, but I’d love to make the addition to my “bar” at some point. A lot of what I see are vintage pieces that don’t function any longer, so a seltzer bottle that works would be a bonus!
One of my very favorite books is The Great Gatsby and lately I’m seeing loads and loads of things that look like they just left Jay’s abode. Like the Hayworth Collection from Restoration Hardware. This stuff would make even the shabbiest of bars look clean and crisp. If you like what you see, hop on over because it’s on sale!
These capiz garlands are perfectly suited for backyard summer gatherings. I think I’d string them in the trees or on the ceiling of the patio like Christmas lights. One of each color for me, please!

I’d love to get my hands on a copy of Paul Lowe’s (of Sweet Paul fame) Slurp: Drinks and Light Fare, All Day, All Night. Full of recipes for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as suggested pairings to munch on while sipping away. The book covers all three daily meals and even hangover remedies for the day after you use the book! Nice touch.
David Stark coordinates the design of private and corporate events in the most gorgeous of ways. He has some big name clients and the mad skills to back everything up with. Take a look at what the man can do with a space.

Designer Marten Baptiste really took wine glass aesthetics in a new and interesting direction with the Louise Tripod wine glass. The typical triangular Dutch lines of the base are oddly stabilizing to the balance of the glass in a paralyzing to the mind sort of way.
Holy fun kitchen-y and entertaining goodness at Crate & Barrel!
