* Some good old marketing campaigns gone wrong in the old days that made me chuckle. Of course people come in with 299 bananas, silly beans.
* Feeling gloomy? Watch this (yes it’s incredible tooth-aching sweet, in a good way though, right?)
* “The back-to-school feeling we enjoy while shopping for stationery expresses our desire for control and independence” is one reason given in this article to explain ‘Why grown women really festishise stunning stationery‘. Well excusez-moi, don’t mind if we do, do, do, do!
* How cute is this button of a mobility scooter with a red basket? Handmade by Faith Ann Givings, and available on Etsy.
* “My editor asked me to try all the sex stuff from Fifty Shades of Grey in one weekend.” Intrigued? Go!
* This week I started a little lettering project on my Instagram account. 1. Because I love a good creative project 2. I’d love to become really good at lettering, Lauren Hom good, ultimately. And 3. Because creating an image serie is a real traffic booster, apparently. Come chuckle at my silly first attempts and follow me while I clock in 10,000 hours to becoming a lettering genius!
