Pin Ups: My Favourite Things This Week


This grilled cheese is right up my alley- I adore grilled cheese, and all it's variations.

Gorgeous DIY bracelets. The bright colours are a must.

This modern knitted quilt is so stunning. I want it. Pattern in the link! (sorry for the small photo, it gets blurry if I blow it up)


I love this 1950's cotton thread advertisement- I'd frame it and hang it on the wall!

Nom nom on the grilled cheese sandwich! They're a favourite of mine too. And now I want one.

Zwicky is a traditional Swiss company, only a few miles from where I live in Switzerland... :)

The company originated in 1840 and produced silk threads, exporting all over the world. All of northeastern Switzerland is famous for textiles (e.g. St. Gallen lace). Now the old factory site is being used for modern lofts and indie companies, very cool!
However, there is another connection for me because one of the sub-factories was built in the small town in Germany where I was born, which actually had more shoe manufacture, and the whole company was brought into Gütermann threads about 10 years ago - the boss is once again a Zwicky!!

Your picture is from a 1940s ad.

I think I may have to check out how to make those bracelets.

Grilled cheese, mmmmm. And the bracelets are so cool! Btw, I made the mac and cheese you posted last week, and it's amazing. Thank you again!

Mmmm. I love your Pinterest posts. I made the one-pot mac and cheese that you posted awhile back and it was AMAZING! Thanks for the inspiration, Julie.
