These are from Saturday the May 24th, 2014, we had a nice evening family walk around the neighborhood. It was raining earlier so everything looked pretty and shiny. No filter.

NSS 2014 Part 1
I stopped by the National Stationery Show yesterday real quick while Mili was in her home school — Oh my god, what an inspiration!!! I wish the show was here more often. I left the place all inspired and motivated… I can’t stop thinking about new ideas every since. Exactly what I needed. I couldn’t take many pictures as I was just making a quick stop and busy saying hi to my fellow stationers, but I wanted to post some photos I managed to take… The first few are from Linda & Harriett booth. I’ve been a huge fan of their work, I’ve seen their always-fabulous-booth at the previous NSS shows, but this time, I was so lucky to actually meet Liz!! Yay! This year, their booth was all black and white with her great patterns and drawings, it was standing out for sure.
Liz was so nice and we found out that both of our studio are in DUMBO, which was oh-so exciting to me! She invited me to her studio, too, awww, thank you!!
Love this pineapple calendar below!
Three Potato Four had a booth at the NSS this year! I’ve know them as a vintage shop so it was a pleasant surprise. They had all sorts of cool stuff in their booth I was really fascinated.
These banners (above and blow) are so great, I really want one for our loft space…
I especially liked this boards — I think they were selling a collection of paper pack with all sorts of goodies inside. So neat!
Moglea had one of the best and busiest booth at the show, I think! and definitely one of my favorites. I couldn’t say hi to Meg since she was so busy, but I snapped some photos… :D I love her style so much.
They had a bigger booth this year and look at this one wall — I LOVED it.
and this is my favorite; a paper flower card! Too cute! <3
To be continued…
Spring At Last… Kind of.
We are having such a slow Spring this year… it’s almost May and still trees are bold and cherry blossoms are blooming finally here and there… and it’s nice, but not that warm… yet.
But makes me really happy to see the vibrant pink on the street! (These photos are from SoHo this morning) We couldn’t go to the annual Sakura Matsuri in the Brooklyn Botanical garden this weekend because Mili was sick, but I saw pictures on the Internet and the park had no cherry blossoms yet!! What?!
Today’s Bridge 4.22.14
It was another beautiful Spring day today, I had all day with Miss Mili and Maia so we all went out to the Brooklyn Bridge park. Some flowers are blooming everywhere and makes me really happy to see! Yay, Spring!!
Trees are still half naked, but I see little buds coming out everywhere… so nice…
The Brooklyn Bridge. We haven’t been this side of the park for a while so it was fresh :)
We went to the Playground, too, do you spot Maia (above) patiently waiting for us? Dogs are not allowed in there…
Happy Mili running around! :)
