Also included are ways to use what you have (infuse vinegar with herb blossoms), streamline your stuff (use just a few handy tools for many different purposes), or just make life a little more luxurious (serve party snacks in pretty decanters). Whether functional, delightful, or a little bit of both, these are the details that enliven and inspire every day - that's a good thing!
