I’ve never tried dragon fruit, but it’s supposed to be amazing and pair well with the watermelon in this recipe for Dragon Fruit and Watermelon Sorbet.

In the summer I love to break out the grill. But the barby is one of those areas that I don’t exactly, well, excel. I inevitably forget to marinate the meat ahead of time and wind up with a flavorless dinner. That’s where Seasoned Skewers come in the picture. Since the actual skewers hold the flavor, all you have to do is pop some cubed meat and veggies on or even stick a few through a larger piece of meat. Voila, a yummy meal. Seasoned Skewers seem like an all around great product right down to their packaging and web site. Check it out for recipe ideas.
Not a lot of info available on these Ascot pun tiles from Stone Tile International, but I love how sleek and unobtrusive they are. I would definitely redecorate to accommodate them!

If I were a whisky drinkin’ kinda gal I’d be rushing out to buy a bottle from Douglas Laing and Co. Check out those old-school, pharmaceutical-looking labels and bottles! Actually, I think I could be a girl-who-buys-whisky-just-for-the-bottle for these.
Real watermelon Jell-o, thanks to The Martha. Oh, and I’ll take a side of those adorable mugs and spoons, too. (I’m sure she won’t be using them again!)

Posted In recipesThe single and double Octopuses are the classic chandelier reinvented, modernized and octopusized. The fixtures have a central globe light from which lightbulb-footed legs protrude – the double has two sets as opposed to the singles one. Sculptural and functional at the same time and so much fun.
I la-la-love these secondomes. I’ve always liked cloches, but thought they were a bit stuffy. I love how these are so much fun and almost cartoon-like in their design. The handles are the best part!

I’m dying to attempt a granita. I don’t think it could get any easier than this watermelon granita and talk about a healthy dessert? This is probably as close as it gets.

Some people don’t have everyday tableware that’s as nice as WASARA. And it’s made of paper. Aesthetically pleasing, well-designed paper. Because even though each piece can only be used once before being discarded, everything is made from reed pulp and bagasse (sugarcane waste) which are most definitely biodegradable. Yet at the same time WASARA is still extremely sturdy and durable while in use. Lovely design, lovely product.
