この間の品川のお祭りで
見つけた可愛いものたち。
50年前くらいのものだと言って、
お婆ちゃんが店先で売ってた、
箱入りデッドストックの
革製のコインパース。
あまりにもデザインが
可愛いくて大量購入しました。
どのデザインもカラーも
レトロでポップで
全部自分で欲しいけど…
ノロノロ準備中の
セレクトショップで
取り扱おうと思ってます。
(ネットのね。)
何年に作られたのかなーって
思って、中の詰め物を広げてみたら、
そこにあったのは
1969年の新聞。
新聞すらも愛おしい♥︎
(求人欄に初任給3万とか
書いてあって、
読んでみると興味深い。)
What a great find!!
A cloudy day.
You can barely tell
where the border of
the sky
and the blossoms is.
Tokyo Black (porter)
pretty good beer.
Maybe the thickest beer I’ve had
since I got back from the States.
I love swan boat…
It was a better exercise than I thought, though.
(…but I love it!)
When was the last time
I saw cherry blossoms in Japan?
****************
When the wind blows
and when the petals float in the air,
it makes me want to cry.
I’d forgotten that feeling.
Now, I remember it again.
**********************************
I’m very glad
I went out to witness
the beginning of spring.
I know I still have a lot of work to do…
But a little break is alright, right?
Yes.
I love buttons.
I get so excited when I see
huge tubs filled with vintage buttons.
All the colors and different shapes
inspire me to make something.
They are like candies
that don’t kill your teeth.
So sweet.
Yum yum.

On Sunday, after having a brunch with
Matthew (yes click!!) at Fada,
I was walking to go to
and decided to stop by at Junk on Driggs.
You know, when you pass by at a thrift store
or a vintage store,
and when you feel like something is
calling you,
your instinct is usually right.
You will find something that excites you.
****************
I went inside the store
and stumbled upon pools of buttons.
Yes, butterflies in my stomach.
I think I stayed there for 90 minutes or so,
just searching for pretty buttons.
**********************
I got an eye candy and inspiration,
instead of a candy wrapped in a gold foil.
