I would like to share an amazing business with you - Jay B Millinery! This unique and sophisticated millinery was started by a good friend of mine from college, Melissa Boyd Bodway, who now works out of San Francisco. Melissa has a great eye for elegance and glamour which really shows in her headwear designs, available in two collections - Cocktail and Bridal.

I am in LOVE with these pendant lights found on Luxe and Liberty's site! Luxe and Liberty is a company started by a good friend of mine who has truly impeccable taste. Everything at Luxe and Liberty is made in the USA so you can pat yourself on the back for shopping "local". :) Union Street Glass is made in Richmond, CA - these pendant lights are part of the Morph Collection and are handblown in so each is unique in shape and color. Absolutely fantastic.

Cocktail Recipe Prints

As a designer, I love Etsy because everything is handmade - so I am guaranteed to find not only items that are made with care and attention to detail, but also items that are unique and one of a kind. The above prints are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" and can be found in Smileshop's Etsy shop. This is such a creative way to share a cocktail recipe and would look fantastic framed in your kitchen!
