All the Frills Fridays: Cartography

When I was little my Dad had this amazing antique looking globe that I used to be totally fascinated with. It got consigned to a garage sale bin when my parents sold their house about eight years ago and I’ve wanted a globe of my very own ever since. Enter this beauty that my awesome helpmeet surprised me with recently!

And here a few links that I’ve stumbled across over the past week that engrossed me:

• Lean In and Getty Images are partnering up to disseminate a new style of stock photos that challenge ideas of femininity and the depiction of women in the media.
  
  
• Who doesn’t like oogling images of amazing libraries?
  
  
• Can I go back and request that Tim Gunn be my outside examiner on my dissertation committee?
  
  
• Why is this not happening here? Cat Café! Well, at least it’s happening in San Francisco. I may need to move.
  
  
• There’s something very unsurprising and yet deeply unsettling about this.
  
  
• An abandoned Nazi beach resort. That pretty much says it all.
  
  
• Et tu Lego?
  
  
• In honour of Valentine’s Day and all that romantic hullabaloo, Ruche has rounded up a decent list of literary love quotes (I have to say, my person favourites don’t appear here though).
  
  
• Vintage Halloween Valentine’s cards? Hello best idea ever!
