Adorable Road Signs Offer a Helpful Reminder to City Dwellers

CLINIC 212
If you've ever found yourself watching a line of plump, baby ducklings waddling across the street, then you've certainly felt your heart leap into your throat at that  "oh no!" moment when a car nearly clips them. 

The Tiny Road Sign project is the brainchild of two men in the city Vilnius, Lithuania, and taps into our desire to protect (and snuggle) the animals around us. The pair placed miniature crosswalks and signs throughout the city, hoping they will remind people that creatures more helpless than ourselves live in our midst — so we should treat them kindly. 

The men also work for CLINIC212, a creative marketing agency — so, yes, the signs are a bit of a publicity stunt, too. We're not sure how many teeny hedgehogs are actually crossing the road in Lithuania on a daily basis. But the project's message is certainly valid (and cute!) one.

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2. A Double Sided Jigger "The key to efficiently making cocktails (that are also consistent in taste) req

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
