A SHORE THING: ENTERTAIN IN A NANTUCKET STATE OF MIND

If you can't get there, channel Nantucket when you entertain at home. Bring the Gray Lady home with a whale motif and grosgrain ribbon from Target. Snap it up while it's hot, online only!

Nautical Acrylic Tumblers from Target have preppy grosgrain ribbon inside instead of a yacht club burgee, provides a nice new take on a classic. Anything with grosgain gets high marks in my book. Keep your Goombay Smash cold (an alternative to the usual Ball Jar) and your J. Crew enamel jewelery condensation free.

To make a delicious Straight Warf Goombay follow their recipe below-- you will be glad you did!

Combine the following ingredients:

3/4 ounce Bacardi spiced rum
1/2 ounce Bacardi light rum
1/4 ounce apricot brandy
1/2 ounce coconut cream
2 ounces pineapple juice

Add ice and shake, garnish with an orange slice and cherry.


First Wedgwood did their Nantucket basket homage, now Target does their chic n' cheap version. Serve farm stand salad, wishing it was from Bartlett Farms, in this well- priced bowl.


Target continues it's Nantuckety line with a blue earthenware Whale Platter, perfect for serving Something Natural Chocolate Chip Cookies after a day at shore, wishing it was Cliffside Beach.


Make some Straight Warf Bluefish pate and serve it on these adorable little Target cocktail plates.
