Not only is it hard for me to pick my favorite bar cart, but it’s impossible for me to narrow down a color. Are you able to select your favorite?

Entertain with Society Social Cocktail Carts
August 29, 2011 · Comments { 14 }
Even though retail stores are rushing us into fall, I am not ready to move on. I love these last days of summer. It’s my favorite time of the year. It’s also a great time for entertaining – inside or out.
Refreshing and festive drinks should be part of any gathering. A well stocked and organized bar helps keep the drinks flowing and the atmosphere upbeat. Lucky for us the gals at Society Social have created stylish and colorful cocktail carts and other home furnishings that make being a hostess easy and oh so chic. Their motto is *living sparkly* and from these images you’ll see why…
Happy entertaining!

Friday Find: Hammocks & High Tea Home Decor
July 22, 2011 · Comments { 8 }
I had the pleasure of meeting Karen Young, the founder and creative force behind Hammocks and High Tea, last year while in New York City to see the Nate Berkus Show. Hammocks and High Tea is an organic home decor collection that includes hand crafted pillows, drawer liners, tea towels and tabletop linens. It’s amazing to see how her line has blossomed in the last year.
Raised in South America with both British and Caribbean influences, Karen has beautifully blended traditional Caribbean style with a modern aesthetic in her collection. I love that all of her products are made from 100 certified organic cotton or organic cotton/hemp blends and printed with water based inks.
The Dopp Kit is one a Karen’s new products. The toiletry bag is traditional in function and shape, but is modernized with bold patterns and colors – isn’t it the best!
Karen, I wish you continued success!
The San Francisco Design Blogger meet-up was last night and a ton of fun… will share more next week!
