How brilliant are these watercolor cookies from Jenny of Hank & Hunt?! My jaw literally dropped when I first saw them. And I got to thinking how I’d love to make them but wouldn’t want to eat them. For at least ten minutes.

Happy 4th of July, America! I’m doing my best to take the day off, and hoping it includes a TV marathon and veggie shish kabobs.

Last summer was sangria, this summer is mojitos – at least by my humble declaration! I love the fresh and simple ingredients all of these recipes use. A mojito is a great excuse to use the last pieces in the fruit basket or to experiment a little and try something new with herbs and other essences. (Click on the image to be taken to the recipe.)

Artist Alyson Fox always hits it out of the park, and I meant every time. Jewelry, illustration, and beyond. White Noise is a new dinnerware collection in partnership with Ink Dish featuring a subtle geometric design that’s simultaneously modern and retro. (You’ll be able to find it after launching next month at NYIGF at booth 4221!)

Grocery totes with start to finish recipes? YES! Take one to the store and pick up the list of illustrated ingredients, then go home and whip up something delicious. One & The Same gives you the option of Irish Soda Bread, Pasta Bolognese, and Salad Nicoise.

So many colors, so little time! Penny Round Cushions (and covers) are so multifunctional, they’d be great for lounging outdoors or around the coffee table. Because you can never have too many seating options, yes?

I usually find drawer fresheners cloyingly floral and very un-me, but that’s not the case with Fresh Threads. All three available scents – Subtle Citrus, Classic Clean, and Soft Amber – pass my test. And they’re not only good for use in drawers, I also popped a few in my coat closet, cabinets, and under the driver’s seat in my car. The patterned prints are nice and modern, and each one even has a tiny pop-out circle so you can thread some twine and hang wherever you please.
