Who ever thought that recycled goods could be so colorful!?
My very own Kor One Bottle arrived in the mail this last week! Completely rethinking the ‘bottle’ and all for one-handed use. Not to mention it’s beautifully designed by RKS Design of Thousand Oaks, CA. I love it!
Listen to Eric Barnes, Founder of Kor, in collaboration with Ravi Sawhney, CEO of RKS Design, talk about design of their BPA free resuable WaterBottle.
Buy one for about $30.

Jigger (to measure liquid) with bottom used as an Ice-Mallet, combined with Corkscrew and Bottle-cap Opener for a handle. (sorry image taken with cellphone camera)
I had dinner at my friend Chris’s house this past weekend to enjoy some good food, drink, and company. He showed me this great little do-dad of a Barware accessory. Why don’t they make these anymore?! After doing a little hunting online, it seems that this is a vintage Jigger from the 1930’s or 50’s. It makes so much sense; all your tools in one place. What a shame, because I want one! VintageSwank carries one that is most similar, but the aesthetic lines are so much cleaner in design with the one above. Please let me know if you know where I can get my hands on one of these (because Chris would kill me if I swiped his ;))!

This weekend I saw Boston’s MFA exhibit on Imperishable Beauty: Art Nouveau Jewelry. Dazzling to say the least.
