books are beautiful.

check out these book covers designed by coralie bickford-smith. wouldn't you love all your hardbounds covered in such lovely designs? what life and colour they would bring to my bookshelves.

hooray, they're available now in the united states! thank you, pattern pulp, for introducing me.

design*sponge interviewed the inspired artist. read the interview here. (i'm so behind on my d*s reading. i'm frantically trying to catch up!)

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
