Hex Weight
Aren’t these the best paperweights? I feel like just having one or two on my desk would make me feel more organized.

Hot Fudge Bourbon Milkshake
PHOTO + RECIPE: How Sweet It Is
There’s really only one thing that can make ice cream better, and I think you already know what that one thing is. Alcohol. Specifically bourbon in this Hot Fudge Bourbon Milkshake.

Wine Bottle Candle Holder
Slightly more refined than the actual wine bottles I used to hold candlesticks in college, one might say. These were inspired by the iconic spaghetti dinner scene in Lady and the Tramp, which only makes me love them more.

Summer Sangrias
I don’t really think think any cocktail says summer quite like sangria. Sure, margaritas are a close second but not quite the same. You need fresh fruit for sangria, and probably a deck or porch of some sort. At the least a picnic blanket (it’s a requirement, I looked it up). Whoever decided the addition of fruit could make wine even better is a genius. [Click on the photos to be taken to the recipe.]

Macrame Plant Hangers
PHOTO: Heather Moore
I think I’ve mentioned before that I grew up in a row house. That didn’t leave a lot of room for a garden or the plants that my mom wanted around, so she relied on a few macrame plant hangers in front of our living room windows. I wish I could say that these are some revved up modern versions, but they’re not. They’re exactly the same and that’s just what I love. In fact, I think I’m going to make a few for my own living room windows.

Emergency Cocktail Station
I’d like to gift every friend who becomes a new homeowner with one of these Emergency Cocktail Stations. Mainly because it’s amazing, but also because homeownership requires copious amounts of alcohol some days.
