An iPad Game Inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement
Via Co.Design: "Last week, the Victoria and Albert Museum released 'Strawberry Thief,' an iPad app based on the textiles of 19th century British Arts and Crafts movement designer William Morris." Gorgeous.

Weekend

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. It's turning chilly and rainy here, so we'll be doing some cocooning over the next couple of days — movies and simmering suppers are on the horizon. How about you?

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. It's going to be a working one for me, but we'll also be taking a little time out to relax and check out a movie or two. How about you?

Happy weekend! Hope it's a good one. It's going to be a busy working one for me here, but there's also a local neighborhood-wide garage sale that I'll be taking a little time to check out too. How about you?

Sweet Paul Magazine
The fall issue of Sweet Paul is up and it looks luscious — get ready for more wonderful online reading (and lots of lovely cooking and craft inspiration, too).

Adore Magazine
This lovely Australian interiors magazine is truly addictive — I'm catching up with the Aug/Sept issue and savouring every bit of it.

Michelle as Marilyn
Vogue interview with Michelle Williams, who is portraying Marilyn Monroe in the new film My Week With Marilyn. Be sure to check out the slideshow of photos of Michelle in character by Annie Leibovtiz — there's several that are quite eerie.

Whirled Cinema
A visit to the fab Whirled Cinema in London — a tiny members-only theatre where the best in pre-DVD arthouse films are shown three days a week.

Fall 2011 Roundup
As fashion month comes to an end, W magazine takes a look back at some of the most memorable runway and backstage moments, captured for W by photographers Alexis Dahan and Arno Frugier.

Food Miscellany
A selection of choice quotes and interesting info about food from Lapham's Quarterly, such as this tidbit: "To celebrate King Henri III of France’s visit to Venice in 1574, a banquet table was prepared with some 1,286 items — from napkins and cutlery to figures of popes — all made from spun sugar." Via The Browser.

In Wordless Imagery, An Immigrant's Timeless Tale
Review of The Arrival by Shaun Tan, the wordless illustrated story of a man who leaves his family in order to establish a better life for them in a distant land. This sounds wonderful.

IKEA's Mänland
An Australian IKEA store recently tested out the idea of having a “play space” for weary husbands and boyfriends, called Mänland. Andrew sent me this link, so I think he supports this one!

Spaghetti With Roasted Tomatoes, Garlic and Pancetta
This simple recipe by The Italian Dish sounds amazing — and it looks great on the plate, too. Perfect for a quick and elegant company dinner as well as for a family one.

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. For once we have a full weekend without work to do, so Andrew and I will be checking out ice sculptures, eating dinner at a fab Thai restaurant, and catching a movie at the local rep cinema. How about you?

Lonny Magazine
The latest issue of Lonny is online, and once again it's gorgeous! Get yourself a cup of tea and prepare to enjoy.

A lovely new online decor magazine based in Australia. Check out the newest issue, which is full of summery colour (perfect reading for those of us shivering in the north).

Brancusi Working
Check out this very rare short film of the sculptor Brancusi assembling one of his column works — and then goofing around with a friend and a dog. So cool that this exists. Via the Noguchi Museum on Twitter.

Tee Scarves
Wondering what to do with an old t-shirt that's too worn to give away? Make it into a very cool spaghetti scarf! Follow the link to the Method blog for easy instructions — you'll be wearing one in half an hour! Via pinterest.

Top 10 Talking Animals in Literature
Great list of novels featuring talking animals — ranges from The Golden Ass by Apuleius to The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.

Honey Laundering
Do you know where your supermarket honey is really from — and more importantly, what's in it? An eye opening story from the Globe and Mail — and a good argument for eating locally whenever possible.

Guess the Technology
Utterly sweet short video of modern-day French-Canadian schoolchildren in the role of 20th century archaeologists, guessing the uses of gadgets from the ’80s and ’90s. Via Francesca Tronchin.

10 Risotto Recipes
I'm a big fan of risotto — usually I'll make it plain (often with a handful of fresh spinach or asparagus), or I'll make Donna Hay's tomato and eggplant version — but these recipes from Saveur look fun to try, too.

Weekend

Happy weekend! Hope it's a good one. We'll probably have a quiet one here, as we're expecting lots of snow today and tomorrow — a weekend curled up indoors with a book or two (or a movie) is looking pretty fine. How about you?
