one month

Posted on 1 November 2009 by lady dandelion

…I just realized that the blog turned one month yesterday. So. A little toast in a very nice champagne (or just water)  is appropriate. Below is one of my favourite champagnes. It is aromatic and fruity (but not sweet) with a lot of body. An extra plus is that it is organic. Baron Fuente’s Galipette. Being a champagne it is not horribly expensive.  I am childishly fond of champagne. A regular sparkling like the Australian Jacob’s Creek is also very nice, but a real Champagne is something special and some occasions just call out for champagne. Anyway. I’m happy to say that lady dandelion is now one month old. Cheers!

material cravings (pens) II

This modern, special pen – Omas Emotica – is on my wishlist together with two other pens: The Pilot Bamboo and The Stipula da Vinci. Rubber and titan. Ultra cool in my wanna-be-cool eyes. Classic and punk at the same time.  The price tag is also special, so I guess it’ll have to wait for a while. The yellow one (it also comes in  black, red and blue) speaks to me and should suit a dandelion.  It doesn’t make it less attractive that it is made in one of my favourite cities: Bologna. A university town in northern Italy that is a real gem.
