a sunday in greenpoint

I'm almost packed for another trip to Asia...Hong Kong and Taiwan this time. I'm going to eat a ton of dim sum, Din Tai Fung, and mangoes. Can't wait! Before I go, I thought I should post these photos from last weekend in Greenpoint, where Julie and I checked out BKLYN Design 2015 at the Greenpoint Expo Center. Last year, I went to the stalls at Industry City and saw some great locally-made furniture and accessories. Here are some of the displays from the 2015 event:

I wandered around a bit after and found some fun secondhand shops, and this adorable coffee shop+florist place called Homecoming.  

And of course, I never go to Greenpoint without dropping into Bakeri, where I snagged the last apple cider flower (like a financier, but flower-shaped!). Those things are soooo good. 

tokyo series: kyukyodo papers

we're back from our honeymoon! it was such a lovely trip. nothing but sand, water, and (non-highlightery) books in thailand, and enough shopping and eating in japan to last me the rest of summer. we got back last night but i'm still dreaming about these beautiful papers i saw at kyukyodo in ginza. (more about the rest of the trip later!)

a rainy evening

rain means a quiet night at home. i'm planning to send out some of these cards that i've been picking up in shops around the neighborhood. i can never resist letterpress. these are from wishbone, sugar paper, and thimble press. 

this one's going to london.
