The World of Kitsch Jubilee Weekend Indie Disco

/
Hello. The World of Kitsch has got Spotify (3 years after everyone else).

I decided to make a playlist of my favourite songs, which seems to turn up a trend of northern European indie-electro-man-bands. Now you can hear the World of Kitsch!

The fact there is a Royksopp cover of Queen's of the Stoneage on there means you should definitely listen. P.S. Soulwax, make another band album.

Boojum's Mexican Donkey Parade

/
Boojum Mexican Burrito Bar has a new four legged friend in town; a
life-size donkey statue as a charity parody of the Cow Parade.

Too slow to get his cow suit on to take part in the parade, the Boojum donkey will be alternating between the Botanic
Avenue and Chichester Street restaurants, to raise funds for the work of The Donkey Sanctuary in Mexico.  

An important part of Mexican culture, the donkey is essential in poor communities for transporting goods to market and to help families earn a basic living.  Boojum hope that people will come in store and donate any spare change to the animal welfare charity;
funds will be collected in a blue Donkey Sanctuary box.

Perfect Vintage Kitchen Pastels from Sabichi

/
The World of Kitsch's home is a little ex-holiday cottage near the sea, and whilst it's my retro dream home, its cute kitchen is sometimes prone to a bit of damp. Any food stuff that isn't stored properly gets wasted. Leave a bag of sugar unwrapped and it soon turns into one huge sugar lump that would see even Mr. Ed feeling like he was starring in an equine version of tv series Man vs. Food.

Sabichi have saved my biscuits! These retro, airtight glass storage jars are only £3 each. You can mix and match colours which is great for a Cath Kidstonesque vintage kitchen. I also love the Bon Bon mugs, four for £5, which is a total bargain.

The Sabichi website would be very handy to put together a gorgeous wedding gift selection, if you know any trendy young couples getting married this summer. I think I could quite happily re-kit out my whole kitchen myself!
