God Bless The Queen & Modern Design!

Most of my British friends are fockin' freaks; they do nothing for ages and then, all of a sudden, start creating stuff. Once that creativity process starts, surprises are to follow (I still remember this one time when a friend tried to cook a traditional British meal - we were definitely surprised, but that's another story; besides, there are almost no stains left on the kitchen walls now).

Actually, I'd rather consider such culinary experiments exceptions of the rule, since I have little doubt in the British creative thought. The faith of mine is being confirmed by the work of the designer Richard Shed. Google doesn't provide with much info/ bio of Richard so I'm not even sure he comes from the good old kingdom, but I'm positive I want to have every single object from his website in my home.

Indoor Advertising

If I have to translate the pictures into words, those images would say something like "Have a nice trip home, we hope you had fun in Amsterdam".

Holiday*: Amsterdam

That's what Amsterdam looked like the day I left it.

*Holiday is a column, in which I write about/ upload pictures from the places I've recently visited. I'm trying to show the most peculiar things about each location, usually in a few shots of the place.

Thumbs up

Have you ever read a book while holding it with one hand only? Most probably at least once and you most probably know that it's definitely not comfy. There's pressure in the wrist and the thumb hurts as if you've a week-long TV-watching marathon. Not cool at all.
The good news is that there is a solution.
I bought the "page holder" /a.k.a. Thumb Thing/ just yesterday but so far I love it. After closing the book, all that's left is the pleasure of the read - no pain or pressure. Minus: it doesn't work as a bookmark, although the website advertises it as such too. I strongly recommend to all the passionate and not-so-passionate readers.

Depeche Mode fan @ Kalverstraat

That's what I call a true fan.
