Letterheady

Wow, look at this website dedicated to letterheads. I can hardly pick favourites there are so many!

What a lovely thing to have, I say we bring back old fashioned letterheads and letters and good stamps and whistling posties. 

Andy Warhol

Hahhaa! A perforating machinery company!

Simple and refined, Leonard Cohen

Frank Lloyd Wright

Walt Disney's wonderful world of colour

Ok, Ok, I'll stop! But go and have a look and tell me your favourites...

Berkeley Brown Jewellery

Berkeley Brown is one of my favourite jewellery designers I've ever come across. She is from Canada but is Artist in Resident at Glasgow School of Art at the moment.
She has taken food as her inspiration, because she loves the pasion that it brings out in people. Berkeley says that "everyone tends to have quite individual, personal responses to food and I hope to evoke that in a playful way."

Here are some of her designs:

A grinder ring

A genius whisk necklace, with words about food on the 'wires'

A beautiful colander pendant 

My favourite is her moving petal ring, which Berkeley describes as an "effort to move away from the more literal references to cooking utensils...while keeping that original inspiration"

You can definitely get the feeling of a whisk in action with this amazing ring:

(Thanks Berkeley!)

For Heather, who takes a long time to drink her coffee

A mug warmer that looks like a camping stove, and only needs a USB to work. You can even adjust it to your preferred temperature!

A week off

We had a week off, seeing some of the best people in the world and having exciting day trips.

We went to Brighton and wandered the lanes, saw the sights, ate fish and chips and James kicked my sorry bum into oblivion on arcade games!

Look at the Royal Pavilion, it really does feel like you've entered a whole new continent.

Staying in London was also really great. We did lots of cycling around town and swimming in Lidos, brunches with brilliant people and spending time with my friend Antonia who is over from New York.
Oh Monday, did you really have to come so soon?

Flump

Hahaha!

Django Django

Django Django's single 'Waveforms' has had me humming along all week, it's SO good. They are doing a free single launch at the Shacklewell Arms tomorrow night which you should go to!

Cutting the mustard

Mustardy yellow is such a scrumptious colour. Renting a flat means not being able to paint, and all I want is to have a mustardy wall in this whitewash of rooms. I bought a mustard scarf instead! Here are some other items that definitely cut the mustard.

A design sponge makeover

What a spooky face, but a very nice hat. I like the copper bow too.

oooooooooooooooooh!

J.Crew have announced today that they will ship to the UK! I'm more than a little tempted by this jacket

Cable knit mustard socks are making me wish for a fire and some cosy pyjamas

Nice buttons, good fabric, great dress
