{envie: red and gold}

Ok, last entry for today's special Happy Moo Moo Year posts :o)

Just because I checked my email box a few minutes ago and here I got a Chinese New Year message from Vivre - and can't help but having to post it here:



And here's a bunch of splurges I'd want to steal...at least as inspiration, in the spirit of red and gold - for a fortunate, happy, lucky and beautiful life and home!

{reading list: china everyday}

A week ago, while browsing the design section at a bookstore in Jakarta, I saw this book "China Everyday" by Zhang Yao and Bu Yi (Page One Publishing Private Ltd), and was completely captivated by its retro design and by the way the authors present the chinese everyday life into something like a work of art. Oh yes, I guess the editors were right, they wrote this on the back cover: "A fresh and insightful book that is a piece of art on its own!" I picked it! And enjoying it now specially for the chinese new year :o)

{memories of designs}

Me age 5, wearing little white dress created, designed, and hand-drawn by mom, posing for the camera in front of my dad's painting. There are times when I think it's really cool to have artist parents :o)
