The Swiss definitely have time under control. Their reputation for well-crafted and reliable timepieces continues to remain strong. Victorinox’s newest timepieces are white, bright, and perfect for summer!

I bought this peeler over the weekend. It’s a good one*.
Kuhn Rikon Swiss Peeler, $7.38**
*It’s better than my last two (one from Ikea & one from the dollar store).
**Prices vary. I’ve seen them around $4-$10. I paid $5 for mine at Waterloo’s Household China & Gifts.
I love the simplicity of these little toy boats.

They’re white, streamlined and – perhaps best of all – Swiss made!
Thanks to Cathy for sending this my way.

Over the past decade I have spent a lot of time in Switzerland and feel quite attached to it. Swissmiss always manages to put a smile on my face when she makes references to the Swiss way of life (i.e., language, data, food). Anyone who has worked or travelled in Switzerland will understand what I mean.
On a final note, many White Cabana readers may also be interested to learn about TeuxDeux, a simple browser-based “to do” app, created by Swissmiss and Fictive Kin.
