A new occasional feature about what has caught my obsessive beady eye. A check list of gorgeousness if you like of what keeps me awake at night because I simply must have them ( eventually ) and how they will look and where they will go in our apartment…

1. Photographic lamp base and shade ( I’m thinking for the loft….) Habitat
2. Manhattan screen print ( already bought one for David for Christmas, just need to get it framed! ) ORK
3. Orb 3 piece pestle and mortar JosephJoseph
4. Flap clock ( bought one recently and it looks awesome in the kitchen) Habitat
5. Krenit salad bowl and servers norman- copenhagen
6. Sarrinen side table ( this is in the realms of big time money and long time lusting! ) Knoll

How do you make a happy and harmonious home? Buy a second iPad of course! It got the better of us on Monday morning when the iPad finally became available to pre-order in the UK. It was also partly due to David wanting one with built in 3G and more storage than the 16gb one we had already bought. So “his” one will be a hand me down to me and I will be able to use it in the kitchen. It will replace the touch screen PC we recently bought which was David’s choice and I have moaned ever since that it was far too large! Happy days…


…when I happened across this chair on Flickr and then Mid Century Modernist I thought I knew every Eames chair that had ever been designed but no not this little beauty. It’s the ES 102 Intermediate Swivel Arm Chair which was unleashed on the world in 1968 but was discontinued five years later because of high production costs. So it’s super rare and uber spenny but the hunt is on for one…sigh…

Well we received our iPad a week ago from Americaland and David and I are in love. It looks absolutely gorgeous, it’s slightly heavier than we thought it would be and it works like a dream. Not that I have had much use of it because it has been welded to David’s hands since it’s unboxing! One fantastic App is Scrabble, the iPad becomes the Scrabble board and your lettered blocks are on your iPhone screen, when you want to place a word on the iPad/Scrabble board you flick them from your iPhone…it’s like magic! They are available to pre-order here in the UK next Monday and the problem is is that we can’t decide whether to buy a second one or not, well it would stop the squabbling…

We are off to London Town tomorrow to see Julie Andrews at the O2!!! David has loved her since he was a child and has never seen her in concert before so we thought why not. We will be indulging in cocktails beforehand so I hope we don’t get too drunk and miss the show because that would be a shame…wouldn’t it!??

Happy weekend all.
