Dining Area For Your Pet

Posted on April 8, 2009April 21, 2010 by Hijiri

When I saw the sneak peek of Mara’s house at Dutch Door Press yesterday, I couldn’t help but clicking on this image on the bottom of the post (it wasn’t featured big, but you’ll see it on the bottom for additional picture area) I thought it was SUPER! I have been wanted to do something cute for Maia‘s dining area, but this really inspires me to do so! The silhouette picture in a frame, the polka-dots placemat, simple food bowls… I love everything about it. Very cool.

You can see where this little dining area is here — so cute!

and that is his/her dining area, what a lucky and sweet corgi!

Her house is really great, very inspiring as their letterpress cards are, too, of course!

Spring!

Posted on April 7, 2009April 6, 2009 by Hijiri

It was a beautiful spring day (finally) on Sunday in New York, we took a long walk to/around Prospect Park and I saw pinks and greens that I hadn’t seen for a long time! Winter is so cold and so long here, but when it’s spring time finally, it shows gradually, leaf by leaf, and I love the visible transformation of earth so much, it is worth the wait. And I just couldn’t help taking pictures of the colors, still not a full bloom, but even a little color catches my eye after seeing whites, grays and browns all winter long, it is really fresh!

Patrick Thomas‘s work will be featured in the latest exhibition at The New York Times Gallery 7 this Thursday – how powerful is his work? Very simple, iconic, conceptual and smart screen prints, they are often society and politics related but it communicates so well and makes you think.
