As we finalize our Spring/Summer 2014 Collection and get ready to ship to NY for the big show we’re dreaming of Spring itself. Looking forward to using our patio again and love this photo by Kate LeSueur which is an outtake from a little Tribeza feature. Luckily, our winter is pretty quick here in Austin and we’ll be back outside with a cocktail and snacks soon.
My friend Matt McGinnis recently came by our home for a drink and a few questions. It was part of a story he was putting together for CultureMap and his blog, What Are You Drinking? You can read the entire article here. If you can’t wait…here’s the Old Fashioned that I make myself at home:
Kreeger’s Old Fashioned
Lay a cocktail napkin over a cocktail glass and place 1 sugar cube on top of the napkin. Add the bitters. Drop the cube into the glass and muddle the sugar cube with the bitters in the bottom of a rocks glass. Stir in one ounce of the bourbon over two big ice cubes until the sugar is dissolved. Add the remaining bourbon and stir with two more ice cubes. Garnish with an orange twist.
Enjoy your holiday cocktails!!!
We’re thrilled to be moving upstairs to the Tabletop Section of NY Now! We’re going to be in a beautiful, big space in the middle of the biggest part of the show. More details soon but just know that we’re bringing our classics as well as some really special new designs up to the show.
Qui is at the top of just about every year end list out there. The team deserves all of the accolades they’re receiving. They have created an incredible space, are serving delicious and creative food and just happen to be serving everything on beautiful plates. I’m honored that my work is part of their diner’s experience.
“Perhaps the toughest ticket to snag on November 21 was a seat at the Make. Eat. Drink table, a collaborative dinner party held at Canopy Austin in East Austin. An event months in the making, the party was a celebration of the fine line between art and food….”

During the East Austin Studio Tour we gave out these beautiful postcards of our Oval Sides Bowl filled with this incredibly delicious Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad. The Oval Sides Bowl is available at the following retailers as well as in our studio: Star Provisions in Atlanta and Mockingbird Domestics & Wildflower Organics in Austin, TX.
The bonus for our guests was that the recipe was on the back and lucky for you we’ve got the recipe below. Enjoy!
