Orange22cocktailtable1_01This bright outdoor coffee table is an antidote to all boring patio furniture.

Its botanical  cut-out design lends lushness to its simplicity.  Its vibrant orange color will look smashing with nasturtiums or even dandelions.  So, whether you have a topiary maze, an english garden, or a weedpatch — love summer before it leaves .

A skull necklace made from a recycled vinyl record could be over-the-top, air-guitar, rock n’ roll!

But the fact that the design is anatomical rather than ghoulish — more hamlet than ozzie — makes it subtle and sexy.

Personalized stationary is a funny thing. It can seem corporate and steely. Or it can seem juvenile and silly, like the heart-dotted “i”.

It can also be flat out beautiful. These designs are a little retro, a lot lovely, and a nice reminder to write your thank you notes.

12 bucks a set from froy and olo
