Current Obsessions: Dining Al Fresco

Here’s a look at a few things we loved this week.

• An off-the-grid shipping container powered by solar panels.
• The process of printing cookbooks.
• There’s a right way and wrong way to feed birds.

• A tour of the Singapore Botanical Gardens, exotic orchids abound.
• Surround yourself with lavender, plus more ways to repel mosquitos.

• The rooftop of Around Pavillion, a new outdoor venue in Copenhagen, peeks over hedges at the Roesenborg Castle.
• 10 steps to make a floral centerpiece.

Instagram and Pinterest Pick of the Week

• Our latest Instagram discovery is stylist and photographer Amber Thrane (@amberthrane).
