A gay Venus
Excellent!!
Approve of this de-shelling
We ADORE this : and it might be a very necessary, extravagant purchase
Me too. We have to get them. I will go back on Thursday – hopefully they will still be there.
Gay Venus indeed. Extravagant or not you just had to have it. Fab X
It is 14,000 yen….but indeed. We are thinking we DO have to have this – so hilarious, and yet strangely elegant at the same time!
Gay!
Practical!
And “practical” too.
Looking at them, I am definitely doubting that fact. I daren’t think from whence the salt emerge
Hahaha, are they salt and pepper shakers? Gay and practical indeed.
are they not divine?
A must have!!
Absolutely. We were thinking of buying a glass cabinet to put it in if we get it; or else, to just use the salt and pepper shakers on the table. You can use them when you visit our 70’s horror home!
That would look amazing. I can hardly wait to see it!!
Hi G,
I thought you might be interested in the latest quantum biology research , where they are considering that we are in fact listening to smells ! Mint will have a different frequency to orange blossom – so fragrances are making music for us !
Forgive me if you’ve heard already, although the research is ongoing – but I thought the idea of listening to perfume would appeal to you !
Info from BBC4 documentary called, ‘Secrets of Quantum Physics’, Episode 2. It’s still on.
How relevant!
This is a must-have. What a conversation piece, not to mention guaranteed to bring a smile every time you pass by it.
My sentiments entirely!
Hilarious! A must have!
from 1948 apparently – and thus an antique we necessitate
Hello Neil
I’ve been reading and loving this blog for months now and can’t believe that my first ever comment is to tell you that the salt and pepper comes out of their nipples

!!
It did seem the most likely exit
