Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.

Great finds from around the internet

January 23rd, 2010Posted by katiesol

Just a few of the brilliant things I’ve come across lately. Needless to say, I want them all.
Origami tea bags – Beautiful origami green berry tea bags by Natalia Ponomareva. Just a concept for now.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if people did just burst into song and dance at train stations in real life?

My faith in the kids is restored

May 24th, 2009Posted by katiesol

I’m so impressed by the kids at Davenant Foundation School in Loughton, Essex, who went on strike after the school installed CCTV cameras in two classrooms.
