Exotic Packaging: Crabtree & Evelyn Tea Rose & Glycerine Soap


More Than Yesterday
Less than Tomorrow

For some reason the french text does not mention that this soap was heart-shaped.
I remember it well from 1975. A great big red heart.

A Little Bit of Chocolate Does You Good: Gin & Tonic Truffles

I got a little box of truffles for Christmas. Gin & Tonic flavour. Gin & Tonic? Really?

Really. Only I don't really think they taste of gin & tonic. The outer shell of these truffles is white as you see, and quite thick. The inner truffle is milk chocolate. And as I said, doesn't really taste of gin & tonic. A little bit citrusy perhaps? There are some crunchy crystals of something that may be citrusy. It's hard to tell.

It's a fun idea and quite tasty but I am definitely not convinced on the gin & tonic front.

Ehrman Tapestry Sale Catalogue Summer 2013

Here's another sale catalogue from the wonderful Ehrman tapestry company. Every time I look at these I want to buy practically everything but let's be honest; there are only so many cushions you can fit in one house. And we only have a lavish 2 sofas. If only we had 7 or 8 like some people I know. But then the people with all those sofas don't sit down and make their own tapestry cushions. At least, I'm fairly sure they don't. Too busy going to the opera.
