Shaken, not stirred

Warm weather is here, and I start to think of ice cold martinis...shaken, not stirred. My mango martini may not be the iconic drink of the 1950s, but I might feel more authentic if I started a collection of these vintage beauties.

And while this set isn't vintage, I couldn't resist sharing it with you. I love Nambe', and this contemporary martini shaker and glasses is absolutely gorgeous.

    Oh my, it's 9:40 am and after reading this post, I'm drooling for a martini :) Those are gorgeous pics and I also love the Nambe' set.

    The pics are fantastic and inspiring - they inspire me to mix up a cocktail! Have a collection of shakers - including that green one. We use the heavy ones for sweet tea in the summer.

    I love these! I spotted a fun one at an estate sale awhile back but hubby talked me out of it. He said we do't drink enough to warrant buying one. I said that could easily be remedied by drinking more! Apparently that wasn't the right answer. Lol.

    Oh boy, I saw a Mondrian patterned bar set I realllly had to think about... And... I finally passed on...... Yesterday. I don't drink, so I just could not justify it!
