July 14th, 2009

JULY 14TH, 2009 A Canadian in Paris Last Bastille Day, we dabbled in French culture (read: merlot and a Marion Cotillard movie marathon). This Bastille Day, we're plunging in with trip-planning to Paris that will have us seeing the city more like locals and less like touristes.

Like Spinning Plates

July 7th, 2009

JULY 7TH, 2009 Like Spinning Plates Collecting decorative china is decidedly non-grandma when the plates are pop arty with a dash of Salvador Dali surrealism. Fascinated by 19th century operatic singer Lina Cavalieri, Italian designer Piero Fornasetti created more than 500 black-and-white variations of her face and put them on plates ($176-$245). Like a modern Mona Lisa with a sense of ...
