We live in a 'designer' world

First, a couple of things that I forgot to mention in yesterday's round-up.
I've been checking libraries and book stores for information on Istanbul...
there's not much out there. Perhaps I should turn this blog into a travel
blog when I'm away. Remembering that there's a shop in Pitt Street that sells
travel maps I called in on my way home. Success, a folding map showing the streets and must see landmarks of Istanbul (printed in Canada!). The kind of map that the Sydney Visitors Centre gives away for free. Imagine then my shock horror when I was asked to pay $24.95. I needed comfort food after that, and fast. Just across the road from Mapworld is a cute and colourful Cupcakes Shop....I didn't hesitate to indulge.

These irrestible temptations got me thinking about all things designer 
We must be demanding them and be willing to pay otherwise they wouldn't be popping up in our suburbs.

Designer Dogs - groomed to perfection

When you belong to the owner of the shop a girl has just got to look beautiful


Designer Fish - plump and perfectly presented
Costis - Queen Street, Woollahra


Designer Meat - perfect on the eye, perfection on the palate

Designer Fruit and Vegetables - Organically grown and picked at their best
About Life, Oxford Street, Bondi Junction

Time for a glass of 'designer' wine - a Spanish import and more of those delicious Pappadams from Marrikville; I'll be back for more.
