wednesday wishlist

A few things making me smile during this particular mid-week lull.


1.  I first saw these birch bark straws on A Beautiful Mess and have been admiring them ever since.  You can buy them from amazon here.  I don't drink because I get headaches from hell if I so much as look at a cocktail, but the ones they put together on A Beautiful Mess always make me wish I did.

2.  Earl grey pomelo tart from Hungry Rabbit.  I found a stack of pomelos in the window of the little grocery in town yesterday, and all of the recipes I find involving them look so beautiful.  I haven't tried mine yet but apparently they're like a sweeter version of a grapefruit.  Plus it's just cool to have a citrus fruit as big as your head.


3.  Rewatching Twin Peaks.  One of my favourite tv shows of all time.  I'm currently coveting one of these amazing brooches from Kate Rowland.  Ooh, or maybe this one.


4.  This pretty pottery from RossLab.  I have dreams of a red and white (and green) kitchen and am pining after this crockery something rotten.

5.  These nails (complete with handy tutorial) from Small Good Things.


6.  This book of maps designed to get you lost from Visual Editions.  I love maps, I love books about maps, I love books with maps at the beginning that you can plot out the story on, and best of all I love maps of imaginary places and things that aren't physical places at all.  I will be over here looking longingly at it and stroking my laptop screen.

  2. Every time I think of/eat pomelos, I am reminded of this post http://www.cutsquash.com/2012/01/what-is-an-orange/
