tuberose (again)


I need to go back to Sydney 
to get another Tuberose candle 
from the idiosyncratic When David Met Nicole.

See: a sneak peek of the store from jillian leiboff imaging.

recrap

recrap:

To sum up a discussion composed largely of useless bullshit. 

Person 1: "Tell me how the staff meeting went."
Person 2: "Allow me to recrap..."

waterworks

When I renovate, I'm installing one of these somewhere.
Maybe in the bathroom.




These cast-iron classically-inspired water fountains 
have an interesting history, connected to the Wallace Collection.

tuberoses

I'm not sure I want the taste of tuberose on my lips, 
but I did think this sounded like a wonderful, 
old-fashioned scent combination: 
tuberose, violet leaf & jasmine.

from Aesop
