Did you all enjoy the fabulous spring weekend?! I did! The long and freezing winter is all worth the wait when the spring comes! :) I have a few pictures to share later…

Last Friday was absolutely gorgeous, I had a client meeting in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and after that, I decided to stop by fred flare brick & mortar store.

Handwritten storefront sign:

and by the cashier, I saw this lace papers sewed together and hang from the ceiling — what a cute idea! It looks simple and easy to make, I might have to try creating one for my new loft space…

I bought I LEGO N.Y. book (oh so cute and funny) and tunes for 2 headphone splitter (we needed something like this forever) so after all, it was a great trip to Greenpoint :) Hope your week will be filled with creativity!

Anthropologie Best in Show

Posted on by Hijiri

Anthropologie in Rockefeller Center in NY has not only the coolest window display, but also the cutest gallery space inside. Last week, I stopped by there with my old friend who I hadn’t seen for 13 years (!) and we saw this great exhibition that is going on right now called “Best in Show” — I tool some photos and here they are! Enjoy!

Look at this awesome poodle made out of the lace paper. Love the texture and the vintage feel, so lovely.

and these guys were made out of all sorts of papers. How creative!

A patchwork dachshund :)

This fox was made out of shredded papers and plastic forks.

Cute creature… all cozy :)

There are more in the gallery, if you have a chance, please stop by and meet all the animals.

Let’s have another creative week, shall we?! :)

Funny coincidence, Jenn from Jack + Jenn, Jody from Brin & Nohl and I have been talking almost everyday over at Twitter ever since we found this Origami Jewelry… we all liked it and we are all inspired by folded object, papers, and origami etc… and it seems like it is going somewhere… so stay tuned, we’re going to do something soon… :) So fun!

Paper Dress

I was in mid-town yesterday and passed by this window display with gorgeous dress… made out of paper! It was stunning. I had to take pictures. It’s always so amazing to see what papers can do and what artists can do…
