cool stuff seen around

these ginger sweets are awesome and quite spicey. from the chinese shop in town.

then this incredibly strange cat stationary arrived in the post for me, from a childhood friend living in korea who knows i like lolcats. Choo Choo Season II (they clearly have ’seasons’ within their stationary series) is done with such detail and filled with delightful choo-isms one feels the need to warn the folks over at Hello Kitty. i spent about an hour laughing about it. a good way to start a week.

and this is lauren beukes and matthew brown’s kitchen – stunning, though the whole house is stunning.
