garden party

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Deck the garden with these ‘irregular’ paper lanterns. These are the more sophisticated older sister of the ordinary accordion style paper lantern. Paper lanterns are work like magic to transform even the tiniest fire escape into the most memorable party of the season.

from our friends at TheFind: josh jakus 6-pack coasters

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

jake-jakus-coastersInspired by American pop culture, Josh Jakus 6-Pack Coasters are a nod to the conventional soda can 6-pack. The coasters are a fun and modern design made of recycled rubber. There are six coasters in a set and you can place them back into their rings for storage. The black coasters are made 100% of recycled tires and the colored rubber is 30% post-industrial waste. The functional design of the coasters are part of Josh Jakus‘ vision to create simple, elegant and whimsical every day objects. The California-based designer’s home accessories are not only aesthetically pleasing, but sustainably produced as well. Jakus aims to use recycled or excess materials in his products when possible and using production methods, which achieve the highest yield. The products are made in the USA in small batches to meet consumer demand.

i bought you a bouquet

vinturi-essential-wine-aeratorSo you’re not going to spring for the $1000 wine dispenser, eh?

Typical.

Let me show you something that will make your wine taste (almost) as good, for 3% of the cost:   the Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator.

Just hold this little gadget over your wine glass, and pour; the good stuff will taste great, and the cheap stuff (what up, Yellowtail!) will taste good.

$6 bottle of wine, you just got an upgrade.  You taste like $10, at least.
