10 Days Until Christmas

I saw this photo on Flickr (so cute) and realized that the count down has started! So everyday from here on until Christmas, I’ll be posting something I find in the city, my surroundings and things that have great Christmas spirit :)

Today, I saw a big group of people singing gospel music happily in downtown Brooklyn. It was freeeezing, but made my heart warm :) Only in Brooklyn!

The Marimekko Shop

I finally stopped by the Marimekko Shop in the Crate and Barrel SoHo store the other day! Ohh, I was such a happy girl at the shop, I LOVE the bold patterns and the colors of the Marimekko world, and the shop was of course filled with all that and more. I took few pictures with my iPhone so you can virtually visit, especially, for you who live far away from SoHo, NY… The online shop is coming Spring 2011 at crateandbarrel.com, it says!

Love these…

and these…

and the Textile section! swoon…

Awesome pillows, the black and white ones are perfect for our home… wish-listed!

34th Street Trash Can

In New York City, on 34th Street (this was on the west side), there are trash cans that have pattern made out of number 34 — always catches my eye. I like using types and numbers and make patterns, I think it’s cool :)

Back in NY…

I am back in New York from my Boston trip now. It was only a short weekend trip, but I have to catch up a lot of things today, I’ll post more stuff later! xo Hijiri
