Friday Favorites

July 12, 2013 by Carla

The Mason Shaker:  We love this cocktail shaker made from a mason jar.  Your average cocktail shaker tends to be pretty boring and ugly, so why not splurge a little for one with some character? photo from themasonshaker.com

local milk: Beth Evelyn is the Tennessee blogger behind local milk.  She’s a very talented and beautiful woman: she was a finalist on season 4 of Master Chef, she’s well-traveled, her photography is lovely, and her recipes are delicious.  But her writing is what impresses us most!  It’s poetic and lyrical, with a Southern influence and dripping with imagery.

Gelato Spoons: Planning on serving ice cream or gelato at one of your summer soirees?  Spring for a pack of these adorable (and biodegradable!) gelato spoons.  We’re sure they’ll add some cute to your table and delight your guests.27756600_040_a

Lucinda Striped Pocket Dress: This $36 dress packs a boatload of summer fun into one easy garment!  We love the stripe design, addition of pockets and a satin finish that will fit in anywhere.  For this price, we’d take two!

Wooden Garden Markers: Unfortunately, neither of us has room for gardens in our rented urban environments, but if we did . . . we would love to use these!  The font is adorable and we love that they’re wood-burned.  You can specify which vegetables (or fruits) you would like so these garden markers are custom-made!
