I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but here in Atlanta, the weather is getting warmer and that means it’s time to start inviting friends, my homies (not Covid), back into my home! So in conjunction with the release of our home issue, I have been adding to my cart, items that will facilitate in making any occasion festive with these fabulous finds. Sneak-a-peek at what’s waiting on me to break out that AmEx.

First Stop-Nordstroms (they have the best stuff):

When you serve that brown liquor, there ain’t nothing better than to offer your guest a single large ice cube. So affordable-$12 by W&P design.
