folk art

when i was growing up, we regularly received parcels from my grandparents in poland with folk figurines (it was the 70s!)

so i grew up with cute elves, pinecone people, coloured cutouts, woollen hangings

it made our house feel warm and for me, this is what "polish culture" meant - folk traditions

and i still love it

like these tin ornaments from mexico

german santa on reindeer

etsy handmade icy-pole christmas trees

paperchase felt folk cut-out christmas trees - a very nice variation on a paper theme

beautiful wooden blocks (not very xmassy except as an under-the-tree thing)

mexican christmas baubles

chocolate chip bikkies

my favourite biscuit ever is chips ahoy

(an interesting case study here, chips ahoy vs oreos)

p thinks i should only eat biscuits if i bake them myself (which is fine because i had this thought at least 7 years ago but had noone to hassle me about it)

i had a disaster with the first batch, this recipe may be better, link through here

there's a new book out,

a place in the sun, architecture designed for australia and new zealand

by stuart harrison, one of the blokes from the architects radio show

the piece in design files includes a link to HAW architects with this kooky xmas card

also a talk fest photo including shelley penn - i clicked on her name wondering where it would take me, a page with an article by her, linking housing affordability with sustainability

one of the interview questions was where was his best meal, answer: Rose Garden BBQ Shop
