'Owl and the Pussycat' brooch: one of many lovely things found via georgie love.
Found via better living through design, the 'History by the Meter' ruler by Metermorphosen: see here for this and more (I can recommend their 'Paintings By The Running Meter' ruler).
It is perverse to add Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte to the 'must see' list just because of the heraldic squirrel connection. Paris Breakfasts has some images. Sadly it is closed in Jan./Feb., but just thinking about their restaurant called 'L'Écureuil' makes me happy. I'd settle for a mug...
Where did I first see this image which I've been transferring from notebook to notebook for many years? I can't recall now; however it is reproduced in Steve Pile's The Body and the City: Psychoanalysis, Space, and Subjectivity (Routledge, 1996) with ©BIFF Products.
For solitaire-addicts who love beautiful things... Buy into the Tiffany lifestyle for only AUD$45 here.
Attempt the minimalist Christmas tree bookshelf. Variations from apartment therapy and (too 'designed' for me) modern design.
Apart from the whole meltingly hot aspect of an Australian Christmas, I love the idea of this candy wreath from skip to my lou. Tho' why cut the sweets/lollies/candy off? Eating by unwrapping one end would leave a fluffy silver-papery wreath.
Make your own paper Hermes Kelly gift bag with downloadable patterns (from the Hermes site).
Recycled gift tags made from glossy catalogues and magazines by peapods.
I confess that I was inspired by these crocheted candy chains (from dollar stores crafts) to finger-stitch some chains with bells and buttons instead of lollies... for the cats.
