staying up late

well i'm going to post this one a little earlier (see, i'm working on my organisational skills + planning!) but also i'll be at a wedding after party tonight so i'm sure this is the view i'll see coming home on october 1st.

this is the view from my apartment at dawn.. there's something really peaceful about watching the day take over the night. it's almost like a battle between light + dark, which reminds me of pixar's wonderful animated short day + night (see below)!

enjoy :)

handmade hongkong's db bazaar

i love the concept of coming together with goods + wares that have been lovingly created, inspired + best of all, handmade! there's something nice about taking the time to make something with your own hands, you get the ultimate satisfaction.

yaaah we're looking forward to handmade hong kong's db backyard bazaar! check out the list of other participating vendors. we'll be sharing a booth with bubblecouture + colourblind from 10am to 5pm so hope you can drop by. 

 

back to school

although it's been a while since i've had that feeling of going back to school, i still remember that feeling of a new school year - the excitement of going back, hanging out with friends at break time, passing notes, checking out the new kids and teachers, figuring out the new class schedule... ah such wonderful memories :)

one of my favourite things to do was buying new stationery! books and notepads, pens in different colours, highlighters, post it notes, organising files, clips... i would spend hours in the stationery shop picking everything out and testing each colour. they excite me a lot, and they still do!

so in honour of the school term and some teacher friends, who work incredibly hard and have amazing stories and kids' assignments to share, here's the calendar for september :: enjoy!!
