randomness...
random knick knacks i've gotten this month...
yes, i spent a saturday to go past midtown (which only happens once a year) to a museum that i'd normally never get to check out and what happens? only a third of the museum is open. oh, well. i perused the gift shop instead and decided to check out the Met yet again.
these were at the gift shop at cooper hewitt national design museum.
vote cards. these are business card sized.
i'm going to be giving them to my brother in law who is campaigning for Obama.
definitely random. in a kind of daytime drunken state - maybe it was that same saturday? we picked up this wooden box at a shop in the east village (on 9th street i think?)
a group of my crazy friends just got back from a trip to africa to climb kilimanjaro. not my type of vacay, but kudos to all of you and especially cathy for bringing back an authentic wooden giraffe (my fave animal).
koreans can't sit on a floor without a seat cushion. well, not entirely true since i did it for the last year in our new home. finally sucked it up and snatched these modern looking ones. cute! and comfy! just like everything at azaleas.
and one of my favorite shops in new york city these days? utowa. they have the most intensely gorgeous flower arrangements you could imagine. actually, you can't even imagine these things. well, i picked up these ceramic chopstick placers in the shape of cornichons and soybeans.
a picture of their bathroom with those japanese toilets with heated seats and wall panel. i had to take a pic.
i know, i'm weird...
