Destination Moon

As a big Tintin fan in my youth, I was overjoyed to see this familiar rocket adorning the front page of spotify.
Tintin fans should recognise it but those unfamiliar with the graphic novels should swoon over its mid century, space age curves.  I'm sure it would look wonderful in my home!

The rocket features in two of the novels from the 1950s - Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon.

More Tea for Two

 Not sure why I can't ever find really cool mod teapots like this one of Jenn Ski's:


And there are some right up my alley on Wooden Donkey's flickr stream but I can't repost the photos and it appears their shop site is down. Please say you haven't closed the store, Wooden Donkey!

Tea for Two

I have been a bad, bad blogger... *hangs head in shame*

So to get back in the swing of things I'm just gonna try to post stuff, even if it seems really random.
For instance, I was in a tea shop today - I mean a shop that sells tea, not a cafe - and I wanted to buy some of the flavoured teas.  I was reminded that I'd actually need a tea pot (since it comes in leaf form not in bags).

AHA! - I thought - I have a vintage coffee pot that could suffice, despite it being a little big.  But then I'd also need a tea strainer which I don't have.  A tea infuser was then suggested, which I very nearly bought before realising that I was sure I'd seen some cooler tea infusers somewhere on 't' interwebs'.

Enter the yellow submarine...
