OUR LAST Weekend Links was published in early November 2024. Since then, we’ve shifted our focus to the Weekly Newsletter. If you’d like to catch up on our recent writing, you can read my in-depth reflections on the past year here.
Discover thoughtful, unique gift ideas tailored for those who appreciate artful living, impeccable style, and culinary flair—perfect presents for everyone on your list this holiday season.
WEEKEND LINKS was missed on Monday due to several factors: offline busy-ness, the start of another project, and most vexingly, major issues with the site’s backend that persisted for days.
LAST WEEK, we revelled in what might have been the final beautiful days of summer. We basked outdoors, perhaps for the last time this year, as autumn has officially arrived and the weather seems to have followed suit.

This discovery lead to learning about the history of displaying busts in homes, which led us on a fascinating journey through art, culture, and social status spanning several centuries.
TIME HAS a strange way of stretching and compressing these days. After missing last week's Weekend Links, it feels like an eternity has passed—the days bleeding into one another like mascara in the rain.
DUE TO server issues over the weekend and The Shop's relaunch early in the week, our usual Weekend Links feature became Midweek Links. We did, however, manage to publish two newsletters...
IT'S TURNED DARK and chilly and wet suddenly, and everywhere, I'm reading that September is everyone's favourite month. It's definitely not mine, but the closer we get to winter, the more I give in to the cosiness of the changing seasons and let myself begin looking forward to the holidays, which, amazingly, is less than three months away already.
WE ARE FINALLY back with the fifth instalment of our popular series, Talking Points, after a very long hiatus, and this week, we’re looking at the concepts of core values, false ideals, and hyperreality.
