Away we sail

Do you know how to sail?

I’m a beginner and like all new pursuits, learning the sport comes with learning another language: there’s the terminology (ready to tack!) and the parts (hoist the spinnaker!). Then you hold your breath and hope for smooth sailing.

This weekend I’m heading up north for a sail aboard our new Hobie Cat 16! I can’t wait.

A new baby

Well, dear readers, I’ve been wanting to share with you the news that there is a new baby in the White Cabana family. Since I contribute on White Wednesdays and consider living in white a lightening and inspiring experience, I’m so delighted to welcome baby Everett to the family! My sister’s second child is here and he is adorable- his big sister Anabelle loves him very much, too.

I’ve always had a soft spot for handmade decorations and I adore these felted creations on Etsy in the shop Lazy Animals. Don’t you want the entire collection?

Sub zero zig-zag

Sub Zero is a refrigeration industry brand that might as well be royalty- it’s not just fancy for fancy’s sake, the guts are where the glory is. Today’s feature is the cool Z-Refrigerator that employs a very unique shape for storing various items: when the door is opened to the left, a large space is available and to the right is a slot for drinks and instant food.

The fridge also saves energy by minimizing the amount of cold air escaping at once. And yes, it’s an award-winner of the 2013 iF Design award for concept design by Hee Young Lee. How cool.
