Retro twits...

While I'm pondering the problems of modern day communication... and wasting more than a little time online I found this... a bit of fun for a Friday.
I found it here,  one of a series of retro style ads for modern communication... by the Brazilian ad agency Moma. Their website is rather cool too. Have a look and wait a few seconds for it to load. Worth it I thought.

India Knight is a writer I grew to love in London and her blog is snippets of things she likes. Simple but on my must-read list.

Enjoy your weekend. It's set to stay sunny here in Auckland and we plan to make the most of it.

Sharing the love...

Do you read The Design Files? If you don't you really should.

Every day there is something fabulous to covet, read or just admire. Great interviews and gorgeous pictures - a fabulous window into Melbourne's groovy side with occasional trips to Sydney and elsewhere.

I was swooning over this Melbourne house tour yesterday. I went back three times for a look... then one of my oldest friends emailed out of the blue to tell how much she wanted it. Well, snap!
It's the home of Paul Bonnici and you can see the full house tour and read his interview here. Sounds like a nice man with a more than nice house. The patchwork rug from Loom has to be mine one day. I'd like a Paul Bromley piece too. Just a little one. Yes, Ann get a job.
What I can do - or aim to do - is the pared back look. White walls, bare wood, simply framed pictures, simple linen and quirky bits.
Or I could just sit here and stare a little more. Join me?
