If You Take Your Home's Vibes And Aesthetic Very Seriously, These 24 Things From Etsy Are Right Up Your Alley
A macrame fruit hammock so all your produce has a cool place to hang out that's not the usual space-hogging bowl. A made-to-order ceramic soap dish that'll hook neatly over the side of your sink with a cleverly placed drainage hole to keep things fresh and slime-free. A beautiful stained-glass butterfly stake so your plant can have a permanent guest. It hooks onto the side of a planter to create the illusion of a monarch just dropping by for a quick rest. Or stained glass garland you can hang near a window to treat yourself to a colorful light show when the sun hits. People who love when cool shadows appear on the wall: This one is for you! A linen couch cover to protect your sofa from The Horrors (cat puke, spilled wine, cookie crumbs) so thoroughly, it'll be like they were never there at all. Minimalist, coastal grandmother lifestyle, here we come. A funnel planter that not only has a drainage hole (a MUST if you want a healthy plant), but actually incorporates it into the overall look. There's even a cool, orb-like water catcher that's easier to deal with than traditional saucers. A UFO abduction lamp to add a little Mulder to your otherwise Scully-esque desk. It comes with a color-changing remote so you can pick whatever hue matches the moo-d (sorry). Under-cabinet containers you can install in areas that were previously considered at capacity. They maximize space under sinks, in pantries, and beneath shelves, meaning you can finally fit even more stuff in your home! The jars are airtight and self-seal when you put them back, so you can store anything from coffee beans to cotton swabs in them. A book lamp that fits neatly onto your bookshelf so you don't have to worry about mounting, electrical work, or other tiresome chores that aren't cuddling up with a book. The linen-shaded lamp comes with a long, 8-inch cord that you can easily snake through the back of your bookcase. Or a gothic cathedral book light to give some gravitas to your fantasy or horror collection. It comes with two LED candles that provide a flickering glow perfect for a year-round spooky vibe. The Locked Tomb series would be an incredible choice, NGL. A bunch of floral-scented grape soap that pretty much blows all other decorative soap out of the water. Handmade by a mother and son with olive oil and natural fragrances, these vegan soaps can be displayed in a bowl or hung anywhere you want some nice, subtle scents. A 3D-printed, modular Gothic tower plant pole offering a romantic place for your pothos or ivy to climb up. There's a watering tower on top and a column base that fits securely in the planter. An acrylic dry-erase board that serves as unobtrusive decor until you're ready to break out the markers and start brainstorming what you want for dinner. A jumbo carrot body pillow in case you wanna inject some serious vitamin A into your home. Snuggle up with this 4-foot-long plush and live out Bugs Bunny's greatest dream. A crescent bamboo wine holder offering an elegant and kinetic way to store a primo bottle of wine. I strongly recommend finding one with the prettiest label possible so it can double as decor until you're ready to drink it. A handmade ceramic incense cone burner that looks like a tiny little stove. I've seen some cute burners in my time, but this dollhouse-ready one takes the cake. Puffy bookends in bright colors to make your bookshelf feel like it came straight from the MoMA gift shop — even if you have more mystery novels than sleek art books. A cottagecore-y felt desk mat with an embroidered frog design of your choice. Your desk should feel cozy even if your job makes you feel prickly. A handmade, glass birth month flower — pick up one to represent each member of your friends and family to create the most sentimental bouquet of all time. Assuming not everyone was born in the same month, the collection will look super cute in a vase! A handmade, laser-engraved butterfly plant stand/side table to elevate your plants or decor to new soaring heights. You can pick the stain of the wood to best match your style. A cute poster of a handful of pool balls to add a pop of color to your room. The use of negative space really makes this piece special, IMO! Or an art print featuring a scene from Animal Fashion Week. Having these fashionistas in your home is likely to double the value of your property. ;) A hand-blocked cotton quilt perfect for when the weather gets too warm for a heavy comforter. The double-sided design means that, in a way, you're kinda getting two blankets for the price of one! A pack of record dividers for vinyl collectors who need to do a little more organizing. It'll feel like you're record shopping through your own collection and might even help you rediscover old purchases.

Lawson, Rodriguez earn Cape Cod League All-Star nods
The Florida Gators always seem to have at least one player break out over the summer in the Cape Cod League. This year is no exception. In fact, they doubled their pleasure this time around. Last year, it was Jake Clemente who earned the All-Star nod and started the spring as a member of the weekend rotation. This year, infielder Brendan Lawson and right-hander Christian Rodriguez are participating in the event on Jul 19 at 4:05 p.m. ET at Red Wilson Field in Yarmouth, Mass. Lawson will also compete in the home run derby at 2:30 p.m. ahead of the All-Star Game. INF Brendan Lawson Lawson put together an All-SEC Freshman Team spring, slashing .317/.417/.522 with 71 hits and 10 home runs. He also showed a mature eye at the plate, walking in 12.2% of his plate appearances while striking out in just 20.7%. With numbers like that, Lawson came into the summer with one of the highest ceilings in the league. He joined the Brewster Whitecaps midway through the season and "continues to barrel the ball consistently," according to Joe Healy of D1Baseball. Lawson is slashing .344/.475/.719 with three home runs over 10 games. He's walked as much as he's struck out, with seven each, and the Whitecaps are using him at third base most of the time, which could signal a position change for the former shortstop. Florida needs help on the left side of the infield after losing Bobby Boser and Colby Shelton to the draft. RHP Christian Rodriguez Rodriguez was solid with a 5.32 ERA and 1.48 WHIP over 22 appearances as a redshirt freshman in the spring. His fastball is still ramping up from Tommy John surgery that kept him out all of the 2024 campaign, but the "Bugs Bunny changeup" with a 15-mph difference in velocity still baffles hitters. His slider is also working better, coming in the 76-79 mph range as well. Rodriguez has a 1.35 ERA with 0.90 WHIP and 13 strikeouts over 13 1/3 innings for the Harwich Mariners this summer. He's only walked four batters and routinely gets out of innings with 15 or fewer pitches. Healy described Rodriguez as "utterly dominant this summer," and he looks like a strong option to replace his former high school teammate, Clemente, in the closer role. Other Gators on the Cape Billy Barlow, Blake Cyr and Matthew Jenkins are with Lawson on the Whitecaps. Barlow has made three starts for Brewster, compiling a 2.70 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 13 1/3 innings. He's struck out 16 and walked just two, although Barlow has hit three batters. Cyr is slashing .308/.357/.487 with a home run. He still needs to tone down the aggression at the plate, striking out 11 times to just two walks over about 40 plate appearances. Jenkins is struggling, giving up 11 earned runs over four appearances (two total innings). The command isn't there with four walks and two strikeouts. Ashton Wilson is with the Falmouth Commodores, hitting .206 with 16 strikeouts through 10 games. Luke McNeillie has a 5.68 ERA through 12 2/3 innings with Harwich. His 14 strikeouts are good, but his eight walks are not. Jacksonville center field transfer Jaden Bastian is hitting .100 through 30 at-bats for the Orleans Firebirds, but his elite eye is showing with nearly as many walks (9) as strikeouts (10). Caden McDonald, Landon Stripling and Hayden Yost all play for the Wareham Gateman. McDonald is thriving in a two-way role, slashing .333/.464/.533 with three homers at the plate and maintaining a 4.32 ERA as a hybrid starter-reliever on the mound. McDonald could be considered an All-Star snub given his numbers. He's thrown 16 2/3 innings and is north of 50 plate appearances on the summer, so there's consistency to consider here, too. Stripling is playing a lot of third base for Wareham, but his bat is struggling with just five hits through 35 at-bats. Yost isn't getting a ton of hits either, but he's playing the most of any Gator mentioned so far with 61 at-bats over 23 games. His .197 average is on the wrong side of the Mendoza line, and his strikeout (21) and walk (7) numbers aren't anything special. Still, he's outperforming Bastian, which could end up as a position battle through fall.

I Know What You Did sequel is hooked on setting up another sequel
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER ★★ MA. 111 minutes. In cinemas Like many young horror fans, I raced to see I Know What You Did Last Summer when it came out in 1997. But it proved a letdown, especially compared to the massively successful Scream, scripted by the same writer, Kevin Williamson, the previous year. Where Scream broke the fourth wall with the regularity of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, this hasty follow-up was just another slasher movie, with a single gimmick given away in the title. The victims lined up for the slaughter are being punished for their role in a hit-and-run accident – so while we're not precisely invited to side with the killer, there's a sense in which they had it coming. The advantage of remaking this kind of film is that it's not too hard to improve on the original. But the new I Know What You Did is disappointing in its own right, even though the director and co-writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson has a few more ideas than Williamson (like him, she disregards the nominal source material, a 1973 young adult novel by Lois Duncan that barely qualifies as horror). Although it's not evident straight away, the movie is not a remake but a 'legacy sequel,' taking place in the same fictional universe as its predecessors (there'a brief shout-out to the 1998 I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, in which the survivors of the first instalment go through it all again in the Bahamas). In the tourist town of Southport, North Carolina, the roads are still slippery, the police are still useless, and history appears to be repeating. Once again, a group of young people with everything to live for are implicated in a fatal accident and decide to walk away. And once again, rough justice is meted out by a hook-wielding killer whose intentions are announced in scrawled anonymous messages. But the very fact that this has happened before adds a layer of Scream -like self-awareness. Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who survived the ordeal the first time round, has become an academic specialising in trauma, though it's her practical experience that comes in handy when the heroine Ava (Chase Sui Wonders) and her friends show up in search of advice. The movie has a whole knowing retro side: I would bank on Robinson being a fan of Heathers and Wild Things, and there's even a touch of Jaws, via the character of a bigwig real estate developer (Billy Campbell), whose main concern seems to be how the killings will affect his income.
