down
over
(mi-yelk)
Finally! physical evidence that the Japanese and Scandinavians ARE in cahoots after all.
I swear the cultural sophistication has got to come from all that cold-water fish.

my mind over the
late winter
at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
laced with agonizingly lovely
Haikus
and the age of each tree.
The blooming quince was over 100!

a few images of another Japanese masterpiece.

making…
a list!
(I know the last thing we need is more STUFF, but these are some appealing little objects that I think we could get used to having around)
a bike bell that makes pedestrians smile.
a measuring cup/juicer because making a little cup of orange juice on a freezing Sunday morning is a necessity masquerading as a luxury
fancy dustpan for the nerd herd.
a candle that conjures up wintertime cinders and I never get tired of sniffing.
a design book that is definately ubiquitous, but incredibly beautiful, and yet another example of how the Japanese are actually a more intelligent life form, just pretending to be like us
the best teapot in the world.
a smart collator to encourage the art of anal retentiveness
a beautiful book about food because you can never have too many
a heavy jar of soft almond scented hydration (for obvious reasons)
and a new kitty bed, because they are already spoiled, what’s the harm?
oh yeah, and for delicious one-pot meals year after year…
