UA

One of the fun things about having a blog is the lovely dialogue between other like-minded types. My friend over at Souzou noted that my post on artist Eleanor Avery reminded her of sets from her favourite kids show in Japan. The show is called Doremi no terebi and stars the multi-talented UA who could be described as Japan's answer to Bjork. UA has also studied at art school, modeled and and is very well known in Japan for her R&B and soul music. Isn't she divine! And aren't the sets just lovely! You can watch her Okinawa style musical performances here , here and here.

Bonbon watch

I love to visit Tokyo's Harajuku branch Bonbon store. I have just one little Bonbon watch, but I think he needs a friend! If only I knew which one to pick. Any suggestions?

Eleanor Avery

British born, Australian based artist Eleanor Avery works together with her partner James Avery to form Our Day Out. Gorgeous! Love the glitter mountains!

Alphabet Bags

I think every designer needs one of these!

Tokyo Potted Garden

I love the cute little potted gardens popping up around every corner in Tokyo. Don't you?

My mum has the sweetest little veggie patch at her home complete with tomatoes, strawberries, two types of cucumbers and a selection of herbs. I, on the other hand, have a collection of dead and half dying plants left over from the time I went out and spent $250 at the nursery in attempt to create my own Tokyo potted garden.

Today my mum visited and set about sharing some of her gardening tips with me. Together we took cuttings from some of the more alive looking plants and planted them in the unhappiest looking pots. Later my boyfriend came along with the watering can. If in time, we have successfully raised these cuttings, I will secretly know it was because of the love and care from the three of us. Fingers crossed!

White Day

Today is White Day in Japan. One of my most favourite days in the year. Marking the date one month following Valentines Day, White Day is the day that males are able to (or obliged to!) return gifts (usually white chocolate) to the females whom they received Valentines presents from. l hope you receive some white chocolate today!
