London phone booth transformed into salad shop

Dr. Who's telephone booth (TARDIS) may function as a futuristic time machine, but these days call boxes are pretty much obsolete. Instead of letting one of them slowly decay, a London entrepreneur refurbished it into a pop-up salad bar. Called Spier's Salads, the shop launched earlier this month and is located in Bloomsbury Square, a park in central London.

From the outside, Ben Spier's tiny eatery looks like your typical phone booth. Inside, however, it's equipped with a fully-functioning fridge and offers a selection of fresh salads, costing between $5 to $8.50. Ben says his dishes are all organic and packed with protein, vitamins and minerals.

Spier's Salads is open every Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:30am to 2:30pm. This week, Ben's doing a roasted chicken salad with sumac, pomegranate molasses, chilli and sesame seeds. There's also a cauliflower couscous, messicani pasta, rhubarb, radish and green beans in an almond pesto and a whole lot more.

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her. Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
