WASARA.

The WASARA line is a great example of why disposable doesn’t have to equal unattractive. These single-use pieces are made entirely of 100% tree-free renewable materials (sugar cane fiber, bamboo, and reed pulp), and fully biodegradable and compostable. They’re suitable for cold or hot foods, and they’re oil- and water-resistant. Take your pick from three sizes of plates in two different shapes, a segmented tray, bowls, tumblers, coffee cups and wine cups.

Lemonade Party.

I’m passing on this idea for a Lemonade Party from Cheeky Kitchen because it immediately had me thinking of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. But really, who wouldn’t love a Lemonade Party any day of the week? (Or perhaps jazzed up with a little vodka for a Lemonade Happy Hour? Oh, yes.) All you need is a batch of lemonade syrup concentrate and loads of pure fruit ice cubes. Okay, my mouth is watering a little just thinking about all that puckery goodness…

Yorktown Road.

While researching an upcoming project I tripped across Yorktown Road and promptly wondered where this shop had been all my life. Owner Carol Gilbert creates her freeform pieces by letting the fabrics guide her, with no working guidelines involved. The colored linens she uses are so deeply saturated that it’s hard to pick a favorite color or piece, so I’ll just take one of each.

Flag Knit Throw.

I’m a closet blanket junkie. Literally, I have an entire shelf of them in my hall closet. Now I’m looking to add this flag knit throw to my collection thanks to Cass. I love how it’s patriotic without trying too hard.
