happy spring - home edition

happy spring - home edition
1 // bowl & serving spoons // acrylic servingware always looks so clean and fresh; the bold colors of spring foods will be viewable to the guests at the table. 
2 //  glasses for wine & margaritas // freshen up your glassware for your upcoming spring al fresco dinner parties. 
3 // vases (all three from here) // to display all the lovely spring flowers around your home - ranunculus, tulips (Sydney's personal favorite) and daises amongst others. 
4 // pillows (both from here) // easy way to freshen up your living space? pillows and pillow covers!
5 // serving tray // a fun tray to serve up delicious, colorful spring foods. 
6 // cleaning brush & household cleaners // spring cleaning!! (mrs. meyers has scents like basil, honeysuckle and radish).
7 // candle & candlesticks & matchbox // our mom always lights a candle after cleaning and, really, all the time...so we love candles. The candlesticks would be great to adorn an table at Easter brunch. The matchstick box is adorable...and we love the length as it makes it easy to light multiple candles/scents throughout the apartment and home. 
8 // plates // love waking up to birds chirping during the spring season; these are an easy (and spring-friendly) way to brighten up any table. 
9 // planter // spring is a great time to plant a variety of cacti, flowers and herbs.


There are so many recipes we want to try out this season - both food and cocktails (of course) that incorporate the seasonal vegetables and fruit. What are some of your favorite recipes? and ways to "spring-ify" your home?

namaste,

And the seasonal item today? Another goodie from Trader Joe's. The Country Pumpkin Spice Granola Cereal...great as a parfait with yogurt and equally delicious with plain ol' milk. Our dad told us about all the delicious pumpkin items at Trader Joe's (thanks dad!), and so our plan is to try them all before the end of the season! #cannotgetenoughpumpkin

the bar cart!
In addition to the items above, some other essential items are whisky rocks, shot glasses (we love these animal ones that can rest on their ears/antlers), knives and peelers for fruit additions and garnishes and finally, a cute cutting board.

The vintage ice bucket makes us want to go thrift/vintage shopping in Palm Springs! We love the octopus cocktail stirrer and scrabble coasters - unique and useful. A water carafe is great to have to keep your guests hydrated when you host a cocktail party. The Wine Opener (Rabbit brand, in particular) is our favorite. It is so user-friendly!

And last but not least,

the final touches...

We love the idea of a gold bar cart. And the final touches? A cute/appropriate poster, herbs, cocktail book and a candle. Now, we are ready for a weekend of cocktail crafting!

Sydney became a mom yesterday!! So, she will not be indulging in cocktail crafting just yet. Little Logan is the newest family member...welcome Logan!
