Bright colors, plastic plates, patio umbrellas, ice cream makers...it doesn't feel like summer until I get my Crate & Barrell catalogue in the mail. I was thumbing though the new summer catalogue yesterday and, just like every other year, I am mentally planning on having the cutest summer parties, most stylish patio and fun summer tableware...just because. I have yet to actually pull the trigger and buy all this wonderful stuff but, who knows, maybe this will be the year!
If you would like something a little more modern and/or inexpensive try Create & Barrel's sister company CB2.
