what a lovely concept!

Nand is a set of cups that encourages intimacy

between the individuals that drink from them.

Each cup is half a circle and can stand alone,

but when the cups come together they unite 

and become whole.

inspiration came from  the relationship of 

women who lived close to each other in the 1900s.

Telepopmusik is one of my favorites of all times

water in a box

boxed water is better is a company who has created  this wonderful
water package, they came up with it in an effort to create a container
that could be kinder to the environment, (as the material is much more
recyclable than others,  because about 76 % of those materials
are from renewable sources as trees)
they also care about the world's water supply, for that purpose
they donate 10 % of their profits, to water relief foundations.

what have we been listening lately ?

we always get nice comments about the music that we are playing at the store or even people email us from far away to ask what's the name or the artist  of the song that is played in our website

that's why I have decided to create a new section that's called "what have we been listening lately?"

here you will find artists, cool lounge music, videos and more music information.

today we have ZERO 7 one of my favorites  of all times and the song is: "waiting in line"

enjoy!

relaxing week

last week was a very busy but relaxing week 

we had my in law's visiting for a week and did 

so many cool and fun things. one of them was 

going up north in New Hampshire to the 

Bretton Woods resort; it's a wonderful building 

in the middle of the white mountains with 

beautiful interiors, spectacular exteriors and great views

the restaurant is really good
