It's almost Feb 14th - The Day of Love

And I'm missing some major excitement in Mumbai - cocktail shakers containing macarons with a hint of Cointreau.

To wish you could buy one (or to buy one), please visit: http://blog.le15.co.in/2012/01/le15-for-cointreau-and-lotsa-valentines.html

These are so seriously cute, I could buy one for every week until 2013. In those cute as a button pink transparent shakers. Sooo much better than the silver ones, all of a sudden.

Makes me wish I had enough money to decorate my home a lot better - pink cocktail shakers, psychedelic martini glasses, a Lava Lamp and flowery curtains - same print as the bags at Marimekko. Marimekko is a great name for a girl. I love Japanese names - Sayuri was something I swooned over in Memoirs of a Geisha. It was the perfect girl name. Marimekko seems the fun, flirty Zooey Deschanel type name. Sayuri is the graceful and doting older sister. Watch my imagination run away with me. And I'm only in the curtain department.

Basically, I'm wishing I could live at Crate and Barrel. Their postcard printed appetizer plates, the festively multicoloured pitcher, flutes that look like miniature lava lamps - without the burst of colour - the cute dishes and "swoop" bowls and all the wonderful things in its store. Even their juice glasses look so enchantingly sophisticated.

Sighs.
