Laguiole pocket knives? Amazing -- we love them too and only live 40 minutes from Laguiole. I have a lovely little one that my husband gave me that I carry with me at all times. I have to remember to take it out of my purse when I take the plane to Paris or London, though!
Betty C ~ Yes, love them - I remember when a group from our twin town flew to Britain to visit us for the first time ... all the blokes on the flight had pocket knives to eat with - as is normal in France they were all confiscated @ Bordeaux before they got on the plane. Where they embarassed that they had tried to carry a knife onto an aircraft? Hell no! Just cross ... how were they going to eat now? Luckily Air France agreed to keep them and returned them when they got back to France.
Laguiole is about 2 1/2 hours from my parents BUT I'll get there one day :o)
Brilliant! I love reading other people's lists :)
So out of the loop - I have no idea what threaded eyebrows are!
Fi - I'm glad you liked it!
Lesley - it's plucking eyebrows with cotton ... one of Sikh friends can do it and keeps my eyebrows trim for me!
Great list, I approve entirely of number 9. However, I cringe at the thought of freshly threaded eyebrows - what's wrong with a good old pair of tweezers, I ask myself?
I have two bright red Whittard mugs for drinking my tea out of. I *heart* them!
