I find these little trends swinging by very exciting and amusing. Some are more longlived – like the birds, owls, and numbers & letters – and some seem more random, like the arrows and the giant scissors. Fashion-forward, style-setting Danish brand House Doctor includes “tape measure napkins” in its summer 2012 collection. To the right, [...]

Cudos to Chemex Coffee

This weekend I had my first cup of chemex-brewed coffee. Delicious! I used freshly ground Kenya AA beans, and the result was the best coffee I’ve had in years. No giant step from my usual coffee making – which used to be a plastic filter holder placed on top of a cup – but a [...]

Round and round and round…
