Spring has sprung! This week we've been busy bees working on our 2011 calendar and first ever frankie diary. With lovely illustrations in a cloth bound book, it's a little bit of frankie everyday. We're also feeling a bit rock 'n roll thanks to Heidi Slimane's photos. The spring air has us swooning over beautiful kitchen crockery and picturing a simple colour palette for our spring wardrobes. We're getting creative at Brisbane Design Week and inspired by clever designy folk as we frolic in the sun to music like this.

The first documented use of the word ‘nerd’ was in the book If I Ran the Zoo, written in 1950 by Dr. Seuss . The book's protagonist, Gerald McGrew, claims that he would bring a creature known as a Nerd from the land of Za-Troo to his zoo. The wild-haired critter wore a black tee and was delightfully grumpy with sideburns. The name stuck.
