This slender case is supposed to hold DVDs, but I’m using it for my drinks stand. (Drinks, in my case, meaning ginger ale and green tea soda — but in Martini glasses!) I bought this from The Christmas Tree Shops. $9.99!
I bought the Tony Stark artwork at a convention (and really, he is the patron saint of geek bartenders every where!) The frame is from Ikea (sorry, I forget what it’s called.)
The silver berry wreath is really garland, but I liked it better twisted into a wreath. A lucky find from my local thrift store.
I had bought diamond shaped plate last year from Target. It’s from their Wit and Delight collection. The bar utensils came from this year’s Nate Berkus collection. The votive holder holding the bar utensils I bought this year at JoAnn’s. The gold dip cup is from last year’s Threshold collection from Target.
The glasses are by a company called Martinis and Merlot, and you can find them at Home Goods and at Marshalls — I did!
Bottles of Q Ginger ginger ale from the health food store. Stuff is SPICY, but good.
I put Martha Stewart’s Hors D’oeuvres Handbook on the shelf with Entertaining Is Fun by Dorothy Draper, and The Cocktail Hour by Ben Reed. I may move these if I find more accoutrements that I like.
Lastly, there are coasters which look like malachite slabs edged in gold paint. I love them. Another Home Goods find.
Also, you can just barely see some Martha Stewart brass napkin rings, which I found at the thrift store. Two bucks! Whoo hoo!
UPDATE!
Found these cute cocktail napkins at Home Goods this afternoon, and also…
…these shot glasses at Home Goods. Perfect for Wheatgrass shots and sencha shots. (Hey, that’s as wild as I get!)
