view: happy shark week!

Shark Week on the Discovery Channel (also known as the best week in television) begins this Sunday! Since I love anything relating to these sea-faring predators, I put together a collection of some shark-inspired things to get you ready for the big week:

adore: shaken or stirred?

I've been wanting a 60s-era bar cart (a-la-Mad Men) for some time now and have yet to find anything that tickled my fancy. Alas, cb2 just released an adorable retro-inspired rolling cart that is just what I've been looking for. I'll be honest, I was hoping for something actually vintage, but this little guy might have to do! And here are some of my favorite accoutrements to go along with it. Whiskey Sour anyone?
