With summer soirees in full swing, the enjoyable task of hunting hostess tokens with longevity exceeding the bottle(s) brought, is genuinely a joy. Imagine my glee when I discovered (by receiving a set myself) the tantalizing textiles of John Robshaw. A travelin' man (who's made a lot of stops), he's collected designs and decorative insights worldwide. My introduction to his wares? Cocktail napkins with four feathered friends embroidered elegantly in stark black against pale cloth. Laundering repeatedly has merely added to their appeal.

My current gift of choice to drinks-party hosting gal pals? The agave assortment. After all, margaritas' muster comes from Mother Nature....


Bottoms Up, My Beauties!

 PS -- Speaking of "bottoms," did you catch the crazy cool denims Syd opined upon?
