Friends,
I hope this email finds you blissfully uncaring about emails in general.
Here’s 10 Useful Things that found me this past month.
PS: If you missed August you can find her here.
I re-read this beautiful book for the second time.
Did you know collecting stones from the beaches of Brighton & Hove is illegal? That doesn’t stop me from picking up a few every now and again :) I recommend reading ‘Why Do We Collect Stones’ to help understand. How beautiful is this paragraph?
“A single stone can serve as a memento mori: a token to remind us of the magnitude of life and the inevitability of death. And if that seems too heavy a concept to bear, of course they just feel good in the palm of a hand too.”
We’re working with an extremely talented friend to design our logo as we’ve started to design our first COSTELLO and friends products. (EEEEP!) You’ll know her work because we stock her wonderful creations in the shop.
Read about what happened to Alice when she deleted Instagram.
Followed by this interview with Sabrina Yaqian Lan (Digital Creator) who doesn’t think that’s necessary.
“As a creator in a digital world, do you have any methods you turn to for switching off?
Honestly, no. However, I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I try to think that the paradigm of how people live in this digital world has shifted drastically, and I think coping with the change is something that I try to do.”
Do you get bored in museums? This is a great idea to do with kids; friends or dates.
Things to do in the evening instead of Netflix.
I recently did a cooking course in Puglia and it was one of the best I’ve ever attended. They hold small groups throughout the year and they’re POPULAR. Highly recommend. Also, did you know Puglian pasta contains no eggs? Just flour and water. Still utterly delish.
If you live near to me (Brighton & Hove) here’s a share of my favourite local restaurant.
I came across Alice on Instagram recently and her hand made espresso cups are exquisite.
See you in October,
Nicole
