It seems like Scrabble has found a new fan with Facebook users playing virtual games that can span continents and in my case, several weeks!  I do love a hands-on game though, especially when played on the Scrabble Premier Edition from Hasbro.  This beautiful mahogany finished game board featuring  a golden raised grid, lazy-susan spinning capabilities and built-in drawer is even on Oprah’s Favorite Things List.

You can even take your favorite game to the beach! The Scrabble Board Cotton Beach Towel can take your fellow gamers outdoors with you!
 
It makes me appreciate the fun Scrabble-inspired furniture that Stephen Reed made for employees in the London offices of Bloomberg financial services.  The staff can arrange the letter-printed cushions to leave a message, and it has me thinking just how fun would these be in your family room on games night?

Thinking of all the items you are going to be decking out  your cottage or pool house with this summer? Here is a fun vintage spin on a beverage refrigerator, this Retro Vending Machine from Neiman Marcus can hold 18 cans of drinks and keep them icy cold, and can dispense your choice of beverage at the touch of a button.

While you patiently wait for the rain to wash away the remaining snow, get inspired by  these little droplets.  The glass raindrops from Smith and Hawken would be a sweet addition to a Spring time soirée, gleaming in candle or sunlight.  These 1” long pendants come in a set of 24.

The technology of today's innovative televisions are becoming more fabulous by the minute.   Can you ask more from your plasma television than a pin-clear wide screen image? Apparently you can, how about a hidden television? Perfectly disguised as a mirror, the television screen can only be seen when the television is turned on.  You can also purchase special mirror glass to fit over your television that will work in the same way.
