UP...

This arrived today to brighten my day and bring in the spirit of adventure! The Art of UP! The book has such a 'Mary Blair' feel to it... I had to get it.

people soup...





New York during the heat wave... streets full of people soup... meat locker stores... melted chocolate on my hands... air-conditioned cab salvation... in other words - great fun in the hot, stinky and awesome city!

up up and away...

My head is in the clouds... and the rest of me would join soon. I'm off to my little vacation in NY:) I'll try to document and share some fun when I'm back. See you in 2 weeks:)

just popping in...


There hasn't been any time for personal work lately... no time at all. I'm trying to finish up work before my little New York vacation. Yep... I'm going to NY again. If you don't hear from me for the next 2 weeks... well, I ran out of time for blogging:)

Genmaicha Tea...


I had to break up with Mr. Coffee. He left... leaving a deep brown hole in my life that could only be filled with caffeine. It was sad and slow at first. Nothing to look forward to in the morning, nothing to open my eyes and get the engine started... And then...ta da!... Brown rice green tea asked me out, and we've been together ever since:) Mmmm, the best tea ever. It combines popped rice (sometimes popcorn) with magical green tea leaves. Rich in flavour and not bitter (like the regular green tea can be). Here's is to 'happily ever after'!

I want to join...


Today was Mike's birthday. Hooray!!! A good day to celebrate and become a member of the ZISSOU SOCIETY... don't you think? I got him these team Zissou adidas runners - to make it official. Now we have to move closer to the ocean and buy a submarine... or maybe, we'll just watch 'Life Aquatic' a few more times...:)

summer bloom...





Summer is in full bloom... hot humid colorful bloom. Kids smell like sunscreen and all the freckles are out... I love it! I love summer... and I'm going to take some time off and enjoy it:)

love in a cup...



I've been a huge fan of Yoshitomo Nara for years. He is the master of angry-cute and cuddly. I adore his wall art, puppy sculptures and everything... everything he does!
So it's not surprising that I had to have this darling pup in a cup:)
