Want, want, want

'One Bedroom Cabinet', by Ferm Living (via design my world).

I'll go back & look at these properly...

1. Anthony Gottlieb on What do philosophers believe? And what do people ask them in mid-air? (from More Intelligent Life).

2. The Journal of Ancient Fingerprints (via ancientworldonline).

3. Emails From Crazy People (via georgie love).

4. 'One Day I Will...' go to macaron classes at the Paris Ritz (via paris breakfasts).

5. Ancient Industries' on Marianna Kennedy's resin and glass works.

6. Elizabeth Berrier's wire sculptures (via modern cat -- below, the life-size wire portrait 'Fluffy and Mask'):

7. And let's buy some foolish gadgets: Skunk Duster, USB surgeon drive and maybe a Benedictaphone.

Religieuse

A memorable mid-morning snack in Paris... Ladurée's Blackcurrant-Violet Religieuse: choux pastry, blackcurrant and violet crème patisserie, violet icing, crystallized violet on top.

Butter

From a supermarket in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy. I'm already missing lovely butter and wonder if redoing the pantry with this print as wallpaper might help...

I'm off...
