Found Type: Park Slope

Posted on by Hijiri

Yesterday, I was running around like a crazy woman trying to run all the errands, finish as many things as possible before I leave for 2 weddings/vacation on Friday… (yes, I’ll be on vacation! I sooo need it, I can’t wait!) and found cool type… I had to take photos… found some more… had to take photos… so here are my type finds from all over the Park Slope. (it is a huge area)

This big garbage bin had lots of cool type and texture…

This bar on 5th Avenue north Park Slope is covered entirely with chalkboard outside. Even their store sign is written in chalk! (and they still have chalkboards out, too…)

Love the hand-lettering.

What a fun idea! Especially for a bar – unfortunatelly, I didn’t find any chalks to doodle around when you are hanging around outside… oh.. that might not work out too well… I don’t know what the drunken people would doodle… :)

Have a great day!!

Fall Colors

Posted on by Hijiri

I have been surrounded by such a beautiful fall scenery around here in NY, all the leaves are turning yellow, red, orange… but everyday, the leaves are getting less and less (noo!) and so before it all goes away, I wanted to post some pretty fall pictures for my/your inspirations. The colors are just amazing, nature creates the best colors!

Everything has taken around my neighborhood, Park Slope Brooklyn.

I want to use some of these pictures for my project’s color pallete. It’ll be pretty.

Brooklyn Indie Market

Posted on by Hijiri

On Sunday, I stopped by Brooklyn Indie Market opening weekend to make up my Saturday nothing-ness. (It was pouring rain all day Saturday, the Art Parade I really wanted to go was cancelled, I also wanted to go to a few sample sales, meet up with friends for a drink, but every time I looked out the window, it was just Debbie Downer and I just couldn’t put myself in that rain…)

It is fairly small, but it’s happening every weekend, Saturday and Sunday and seeing the local designers’ work is always fun.

This neighborhood, Carroll Gardens Brooklyn is so cute to walk around and shop around, too!

Prospect Park

Posted on by Hijiri

Saturday was our big park day! I love the fact that Prospect Park is a few blocks away from our apartment and we’ve heard that before 9am and after 9pm, you can have your dogs off-leash in certain areas and so many dogs come and play on the weekends – that was Maia’s debut! I must admit that Maia is our big motivations because we never woke up early and go to park before or never even went to park to do activities before!

In the morning. It was so beautiful out! (Click to see a larger image)

We saw Hime – 8 years old dachshund in our neighborhood and she looks like Maia!

Hime and her Mom and Maia (she is jumping on her):

Here we go – so many dogs running around and playing!

This is Long Meadow. There is a dog beach here, too.

And then…. at night, we met up with our friends with their dog at Nethermead. We never been this area so it was cool to explore more in the park.

I like the path:

Wait for me-

Here we are – it was getting so dark that I couldn’t take more pictures from here on, but we had a great time! Maia had the best time ever!
