Lovely Tea Bags for Tea Lovers.
Although I’m a tea lover and do like to experience the many flavours available these days I’ve never thought too much about the actual tea bag itself. Here’s the latest in tea bag design proving that nothing is sacred when it comes to the human imagination.

If you would like more details and individual links for any of these delightful tea bags (and more) go to http://www.designswan.com/archives/creative-and-interesting-tea-bag-designs.html

Feeding my font fetish….
At the risk of exposing a slightly wierd aspect of myself I must tell you I have a thing about type faces. I love them. Well, not all of them. Some I wouldn’t give the time of day to while others I find totally irresistible. Anyway don’t want to get too wierd but do want to share with you this quirky site I found today via Jessica at How About Orange where you enter the office of an apparent descendent of Freud himself who asks 4 probing and indepth questions to reveal the type face that best suits your personality. I’m not normally into this sort of hoo-hah but obviously due to my font fetish I found it very cool and was very excited when given my final diagnosis….
Archer Hairline is a font I hadn’t heard of before but as soon as I saw it I new it was my font and with ”outbreaks of emotion and little dots of elegance” who could argue.
How cool is that? I know, it’s wierd.
Fun though…. http://www.pentagram.com/what-type-are-you/ enter the password “character”.

Remember the Croquembouche (french for Crocknbush)
For those of us who drooled all the way through last years Master Chef series you will remember the Croquembouche. Not something us mere cooking mortals would ever even attempt to attempt but when I found this Martha Stewart mini version I couldn’t help but think maybe, just maybe I could give it a go.
You will find recipe, simple instructions and even a demonstration video here http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/marthas-famous-croquembouche

Be sure to have a look around the Martha Stewart website while you’re there too. It’s a great place to find lots of great ideas and inspiration.
And you can email me photos of your Crocknbush to phillipa@everydaywoman.com.au

Myer, My (On-line) Store….
Did you know Myer has recently launched an on-line store where you can purchase a very select range of women’s clothing all perfectly modelled by Jen Hawkins of course.
A little costly but this is Myer so think designer. Worth a look. These are my two faves….
Heres the link http://gifts.myer.com.au/Collection.aspx?CollectionID=49

Just around the corner in every woman’s mind - is a lovely dress which will make an enchanting new creature of her. ~Wilhela Cushman
And now for something completely different….
This is definitely something I thought I’d never say but, how cool are these bronze goblins….
These truly amazing sculptures are by a very talented Englishman David Goode. The expression and character on their little faces brings them to life in a way that makes me want one in our family.

Found these at http://myamazingfact.blogspot.com/2010/01/bronze-sculptures-by-david-goode.html
Or if you’d like to take one home (of course they’re not cheap) you can find more to choose from at David’s site http://www.david-goode.com/index.html

Just a quickie to let you know that unfortunately, one of my fave Aussie on-line stores is closing down. Lucky for you though as now is the time to head over to Rootote and grab one of their lovely totes. There’s lots of styles to choose from. This is the one I’ve ordered which I’ve been eyeing off for some time now….

Can’t wait!

Baskit…. Men’s underwear sites aah I mean site.
Just found something worth sharing…. Baskit is an on-line men’s underwear store.
I usually like to do some research into quality, pricing, shipping, etc before I recommend but I’ve already spent way too long ”browsing” and now I’ve forgotten why I went there!
Expect you’ll want to do your own research on this one ladies http://www.baskitwear.com/store/
Now where was I?
