For Your Home: A Big Sleeping Grizzly Bear

For a second I thought that the bear was real until I took a closer look that is.  Visit this cool etsy shop here! And what’s even better is that they are based in Hong Kong where I’m from! : )

To my love …

Rainy Days in the City

Sometimes … we just need to stop and look because we often forget how beautiful our surroundings can be.

NYC: Ralph Pucci 12th Floor

Today we visited the Pucci Gallery in New York.  The place was absolutely stunning … every piece is elegant, timeless, and so well made. I think Ralph Pucci is actually famous for their mannequins but we didn’t get to see any today which is a shame but I’ll be going back in December when they have them on display!

The first thing I noticed was the bright red wall and Manuel Geernick’s installation.  All the pieces are stapled and pinned up with push pins but together it looks really interesting.

They had such a beautiful space … and don’t you just love that lamp?

I love the combination of the mustard colored chair and the Bauhaus themed carpet.  The carpet is so beautiful it could easily be mistaken for art.

I love the color combinations … and did I mention that every piece is super comfortable?

After giving us a tour they were really nice and let us take some catalogues! These ones here remind me of old magazines from the 60s!

That’s it for now! I’ll update again later with pictures from their 9th floor space! Visit their website for more pictures! Oh and I’m not sure if I was allowed to take photos but I just couldn’t resist! I hope I don’t get into any trouble … it’s just that I wanted to share this with everybody!

Kimi ni todoke

I’m sorry, I know that this post is totally out of place within this blog but I LOVE this anime SO much.  The story is so simple and I just love the way they depict all the different sides of Sawako!  I also really liked Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 which was also really special but this one I like the most.

Norah Jones: The Fall

 

The Fall: November 17
Will you be buying a copy when it comes out? I sort of wish it was more similar to her previous work though …

The Kindness of Strangers

Hello!

I love sending and receiving mail … so obviously when my boyfriend told me about how he got a letter in the mail from someone who says his wife is turning 80 next month and that he wanted to surprise her by having people from all over the world mail her a birthday card I was SO excited!

The man says that his wife feels as though no one will remember her birthday, because all her friends have died. I think she forgot one really important thing …  that even though her friends have passed away she still has such a thoughtful and lovely man in her life!

Her birthday is on November 23rd so anyone who happens to read this … I hope you help and send this lovely woman a postcard too!

What I like most about this is that it gives me hope that marriages can work, that two people can keep loving each other until they are old and wrinkly.  And if I’m ever married to such a caring, thoughtful man who loves me enough to do something like this for me, I’d be the happiest woman in the world. That way growing old wouldn’t be scary … and instead of dreading each birthday I’d look forward to each and every day that I’m lucky enough to have to spend with him.

Hello again!

So I’m wondering if I should start updating my blog again … maybe I’ll just update when I feel like it and see where that goes : )

Today I came across these beautiful envelopes created by JK Keller.  Insecurity Envelopes are a series of laser-cut envelopes that are based on the patterns printed inside security envelopes.

Aren’t they awesome? I would so buy these if they were on sale … I just love snail mail!

While you wait …

Check out a really cute comic my brother Eddie drew then colored on Photoshop!

Click to see a bigger version! It is supposed to be read from right to left and was apparently inspired by my “looks”. Hopefully those who know me will see NO resemblance whatsoever =P

Update

<Currently working on a semi-big project, upload images when I am finished!>

In a super positive good mood … maybe being sick was a good things since it gave me the free time to really sit down and think

I spy …

I think it is about time we embraced the spirt of the Beijing Olympics … with this amazing (FAKE) security camera!  ”This realistic looking detector camera uses a motion detector to rotate, following movement like a real security cam.”  Let’s create some unnecessary panic!
