{Update: Madeira cake (above) is a sponge cake with a firm texture. Despite its name, it does not include Madeira, nor did it originate from the Madeira Islands.}
Most perfume bottles, even those not designed by famous artists, can be seen as works of art, for they often have beautiful, aesthetic, and unique designs.
Since 1946 The Dior Perfumery has been developing the art of the perfumer.
Not only do I like this strongly seductive, mild, and romantic scent, I also like this transparent flask with a glass ribbon below the top. How beautiful this perfume bottle is!!
My grandpa arrived in New York, NY from Belgium just over 60 years ago. Perhaps it was romance that got the better of him, but even before he met my grandma, he had decided to stay.
He told me he thought New York had all the good things that his native Brussels was busy losing.
I've been to New York twice, but there never seems to be enough time to explore and see the sights you like when you visit a city. I'm more than ever determined to get there as soon as possible.
What are your favourite things this week? I'd love to hear. xx
