Did you know that today is International Eat Cake

Did you know that today is International Eat Cake in Bed Day? At the World Headquarters of #AroundtheHouse that means anyone who worked on Friday gets Monday off to celebrate as well - hence, a long #weekend.

Plus a #cake budget. And #paidtimeoff to plan a playlist, if desired. These credits may be transferred to another paid day off in lieu.

New #bedlinen may also be allocated through a Staff Support fund.

The benefit is available to ALL members of our #globalpublishingteam. Naturally.

Seriously dyk about this holiday?

Stopped @charmainesweetsstudio and the @theextoggery, where I picked up this 3/4 jacket.

Felt cute. Expect to feel even cuter later.

Pic now, more details soon.

For now, marvel at this quietly arresting example of modern Finnish large-scale wood architecture from Anttinen Oiva Architects.

Part of a revamp of the old port of Helsinki, it's very demure, very Nordic.

The pictures I looked at made me think of obscure, arty movies made in the 70s, preferably with Glenda Jackson wearing a leather trench.

When you think of it, there was more than a touch of Nordic structure to the magnificent GJ, who I once say play Hedda Gabler btw. Brilliant brilliant actor.

As I say, more soon on Around the House. Just had to show this pic to my millions and millions and millions of worldwide fans. Isn't it lovely?

If you are in Minden and need a lil prezzie for a friend or a lil treat for yourself, I highly recommend dropping by @thewolfmoonshop.

This handmade card by @holly_hutchison_art is so lovely I might just have to send it to myself. But then, wouldn't I also have to gift myself the cute socks, given I bought them with the intention of gifting?

The only logical answer is yes, naturally.

The card is a mini alcohol print that slides out of its card for framing. Inside it's blank so you can add your own message.

If you are out there now thinking damn, I wish I was going to be the one to get those darling but inexpensive Sheer Fruits socks from Minden's prettiest store, don't worry - I got two more pairs of socks and another card to serve in just such a case.

This is why I am world-renowned for my critical thinking skills.

My idea of fall colours: tile from the Mutina Rombini line by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec (through @opustone), stop-me-in-my-tracks gorgeous pattern/textile from @lamaisonpierrefrey, blueberry pan (pretty and VERY BERRY practical) from @kilne, and fave colour for patio lights from @nanoleaf.

Sending high energy colour vibes to my millions and millions of fans worldwide for a restful, wonderful holiday weekend.
