We have an extra day this year! It’s always intriguing to think about why. When I first found out about the leap year when I was little, I thought if I were born on February 29th, I would have only aged every 4 years and I remember getting really scared. So I guess I appreciate aging.
Anyways. I wanted to post this letterpress collection prints from typography photography as an inspiration for the (extra) day 2.29:
esty store here.
I love it!

Since I moved to the hood recently, I should start using these and become a real Brooklynese!
Brooklynese series at Fishs Eddy:
I came across this online store called “Hable Construction” that makes pretty fabrics and sells home goods made out of the fabrics and I like their nature inspired designs. Makes me wanna make something!

I received another cute letterpress card that I love and I had to post… from my friend Yuki who owns my favorite handmade bag store called chibi. (– yes, that’s me on the homepage!)
The card is from Egg Press and they offer not only cute cards, but also DIY kits and Children’s apparel that are just so cute!
I found a friend for Maia! Do It Yourself Kit: Scoots!

I didn’t have much time last time, but I could look at more of the mosaic art from 8th Street station (N & R) the other day and here are some.
I like how each piece is different and how it makes its pattern together.

My friend Kate gave me a birthday card from Red Cap Cards and I love it so much, it’s nicely letterpressed and I like the style of the illustration… they have so many more cool cards and the website is fun, too!

It was my birthday on Saturday and I woke up to a wonderful breakfast cooked by Randy. It was really good, too, I was soo impressed (wishing he could do this every morning… hehe)!!
Every year on my birthday, I try to go to museums to get birthday inspirations, but this year, I couldn’t do so… because Maia is here with us this year and I just couldn’t leave her alone. I did try training her to be alone, though, because we needed to go out later… but oh boy, she doesn’t like to be left alone at all!
Anyway, Randy organized a dinner party for me at Sushi Samba in West Village – I guess it was featured in “sex and the city” and the place was FUN and there they were, our friends! (well, it was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out a little beforehand… oops) I was soo happy to see them all and we were having such a fun time!!!
….until I started feeling sicky at the very end… aww I don’t know what it was, seafood? mojitos? fried food? but I was sick. For a while. So I had to end the night and come home… sucks!
but I want to thank everyone again for coming out, I had so much fun and it meant a lot to me!! And THANK YOU, Randy for a wonderful birthday!! You are really the best. Also!! for all of my friends and families who sent me your birthday wishes, thank you, thank you, thank you. I wished you were here and I thought of you guys, too!!! I love you all!!!
Some pictures from the night:
