These are my Obsessions: May 23rd


I heart the internets! Here are the things that caught my fancy this week:

The Chronicle reports on a Whole Spice in Napa: providing recipes, information on how spices are used and a history of the family that owns the shop. They also have an online store.

Pinterest: a user created collage of many interesting pictures on the internet, from recipes to clothing to home decor and many other things. This site will inspire you to craft, cook and possibly shop.

I heart big books and I cannot lie: My new favorite catchphrase. Now if only someone will craft me this tote bag.....

Learning that "Keep Calm and Carry On" was a propaganda poster designed by the British government prior to World War II and meant to be used as part of series to boost morale in case of an invasion by the Germans. After it was discovered in a used bookstore in the UK it got adapted into a million other slogans, one for anyone. I just love the Britishness of the original saying!

Michael Bolton finally bringing the cool back to the Bolton name with the Lonely Island collaboration "Jack Sparrow". This video makes me smile.
