We celebrated the long weekend with BBQ's and playing in the sun with our now toddling toddler. There is just something about this hot weather that has me breaking out the fun colors! These four mouthblown tumbler glasses have such a fun shape! Aptly named the Hula Tumbler glasses, they roll and swirl as playfully as their colors imply.

After a lovely visit to the incredible spa at the Muskoka resort; Red Leaves, I am looking for a beverage server like the ones they had dotted conveniently around the spa rooms. Cool iced water with fresh fruits like citrus and strawberries is served ever so graciously in glass beverage servers.

The stylish GG Collection Beverage Server from Horchow has an attractive hammered glass look and rustic metal base. What better way to play hostess?

Having a casual fete? Check out these super beachy 2.75 gallon Ceramic Beverage Dispensers. At just $65 each, they can add a great pop of color.

The warm weather has been unseasonably generous lately, the flowers are blooming and I see two birds outside my window today who seem to be seriously considering to build a nest in my growing red maple tree. Few other creatures have been ornamented with such gorgeous colours and vivid plumage! Welcome all my feathered friends, this one is for you!

The fresh colors of the "Chirp" dinnerware by Lenox is a bold watercolor blast of color to get you out of the winter doldrums. Oh robins' egg blue and flushed corals can get me right back into Spring.

This fabric by Duralee has very similar coloring and features a fun bird and botanical print.

Ah yes, the season of celebrations has commenced. I look forward to a parade of intimate dinners with family and friends, as I'll be celebrating ten birthdays, anniversaries, Thanksgiving and finally Christmas (it is coming sooner than you think)! For dressing our tables for these more formal parties, wouldn't these individual butter dishes be a perfect table accessory? Take a look, these dishes range from $5 to $420, can you tell which is which?


Answers:
A. The Vertigo Individual Butter Dish from Bloomingdale's:  $257
B. The Bell Butter Dish by La Rochere: 2,83€ ($420)
C. The Individual Butter Dish by Crate and Barrel: $4.95

I am all about the thoughtfulness and convenience of these sweet little dishes. They are very versatile as well, you can use them for jams, jellies, so get creative. I have these glass square butter dishes, and I plan using them quite a bit in the up coming months!
