Resting Stones
June 28, 2024
I was immediately rushed back to days combing the southern California beaches for beach glass or Summers along Lake Michigan’s shore searching for s perfect specimen when I came across these. The Resting Stones, from Material Kitchen, ticked all of the boxes for me. Simply beautiful organic shapes that look as beautiful at rest as they do when put into use. They’ll hold a spoon in the kitchen and keep your rings safe on your night table at the end of the day. Maybe simply rest atop a stack of books on your coffee table holding one of your beach treasures. The ways you will find to use them is unlimited. The Resting Stones are made in small batches of fire-polished glass in three colors. While you order a set for yourself, you might want to pick up extras for gifts before they are sold out.

You should have ordered earlier to play on this today, but having this rope swing on it’s way now will ensure of a Summer full of solitary F U N.
Take a ride to the nearest lunch spot on a lake or river and enjoy a refreshing Limoncello and Prosecco cocktail while you fuel up on the sights and a bit of vitamin D.
Or, if you plan on kicking back at home, burgers on the grill with a side of potato salad makes easy work of a classic seasonal dinner.
Finally, stoking up a relaxing fire, slicing up a cold watermelon and toasting up some marshmallows puts a crowning touch to the day, the official start of Summer.
