Message in a Bottle

How special and amazing service is this message in a bottle letter service by Miniature Rhino? (It is currently all sold out, I hope it’ll be listed again…)

I would cry if I receive a message in a bottle like this. It’ll be such a romantic thing and/or touching thing to receive / send… I’m getting lots of ideas and inspirations :)

I love that the message will be typed by hand on a vintage book paper using a vintage typewriter. Perfect.

I will be at the letterpress studio printing all day! See you guys all tomorrow :)

Christmas Shop

Good morning! How was your thanksgiving? How was your weekend? Hope you had a good one… I am back from Boston, I had really great and yummy thanksgiving, and am ready for the busy week! I think from here on, I just have to go go go until Christmas… which is coming so very soon!

After thanksgiving, my mother-in-law took me shopping and I had to ask to go back to this great Christmas shop… (she took me there last year, it was my first time, but didn’t have time to really look around…) It’s been around for ages in Randy’s hometown and coming from Japan, I think this is by far the biggest and the most classic Christmas shop I’ve ever been to! Yes, Santa was there, too! :)

Huge store is filled with anything and everything for Christmas. I only could take some pictures of ornaments and such, but there are lots of rooms and each room has different stuff… aww I could spend all day here just looking at everything.

Tim Burton Exhibition

I just saw MoMA posting this picture on their twitter saying that they started the installation of the Tim Burton exhibition!!! I can’t wait!!! He is so inspiring in so many ways, I’ve been a big fan, I can’t wait to see everything.

It starts on November 22nd and it goes on until April 26th next year so if you are planning a trip to New York, you should definitely stop by MoMA. And if you are in New York, you know where it is :)
