“Love Hurts was created based on an assignment to make an activity book. I thought it would be more interesting to make a sort of activity kit instead. From there, I came up with the concept of Love Hurts: A first aid kit for a broken heart. Initially, I knew that I did not want to make a kit of sadness and wanted to approach the product with a sense of humor. Love Hurts contains all of the essentials for going through a rough breakup such as dark chocolate, vodka, an excellent mix CD, and, if all else fails, tissues. All of the products come neatly packaged in a compact kit. A promo video was also made to show the products in use. “

Coffee Pot, Elikington and Company, 1867, Birmingham, England, electroplated nickel silver, with ivory insulators and finial and engraved decoration, Victoria and Albert Museum.
This coffee pot was used to infuse ground coffee. Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management, which was published in 1888, recommended adding 1/2-1 tablespoonful of coffee for each person, and 1/2 pint of water to every ounce of coffee. This would give a strong coffee which could be diluted with milk or cream. A small muslin bag was used as a filter. Although British households generally preferred tea throughout the 19th century, coffee was offered at most social gatherings in the home.
