Coralie Bickford-Smith

Ms. Bickford-Smith's hardback classics for Penguin sold exclusively through Waterstone last fall, regrettably i missed my chance. They have taken up residence as my laptop's wallpaper, but - Egad!- there is a reprint on the horizon! The lovelies are scheduled to hit the shelves of the U.S. in late October.

Cardboard Classics

I am enamored with these cases, beautifully detailed and dripping with practicality. Available through Manufactum.

Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre

The peculiar papercuts of Wilhelm Staehle are now available signed and framed at the Bazaarium.

An Ornament and a Crime

Another blue & white find. Lenin bust in blue onion pattern available at A+R.

Senape

This little crock of sweet Bavarian mustard was hidden among the banality that is the condiment isle of Valu Market. A locally owned grocer that i patronize in multiple definitions.
