“It is the summer of the soul in December!”
– The Muppet Christmas Carol
Hi darlings! On this festive eve, I bring you an extra long set of links to keep help you have interesting tidbits to discuss across the table. It’s been a rough couple of weeks in the lead up to Christmas but I have lovely images from around the city to share, tales of what might be the most amazing vintage/secondhand shop I’ve yet discovered, and new years resolutions to catch you up with.
Meanwhile our house is crammed to bursting with food. Seriously, we might have overdone it a bit! In Rodgers family tradition we eat our big meal on Christmas Eve and so, to work! Happy Christmas, ducklings.
Rough week? The internet it here to help!
There is nothing about this that is not amazing.
The world’s best dressed subcultures.
And on the other hand, girls really can’t win.
A different kind of fetishization with Victoria Secret. And yes, 100% appropriate to read at work.
How the rich shop, fascinating reading for anyone in sales, marketing, or just interested in retail!
Guns don’t kill people, selfies do. Or do they?
Urban living and its attendant stresses are not a new thing.
Proto-written language may be older than we think. Which is amazing.
Interesting and only mildly horrifying.
In the spirit of the season, Santa suits!

Merry Christmas, Cadence! I hope you enjoy the festive season, and that you get a chance to relax after your busy working year.
I love, love, love the NPR Book Concierge and check it out every year. I’m currently reading A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler, which is one of the books they recommend — it’s very good.
Love Creative Bloom — thanks for those links!
