Lovisa Burfitt for RUM 21

Lovisa Burfitt has been since years one of my favourite illustrators.
Everyday I take my coffee in my Mademoiselle Oiseau cup, that she illustrated a few years ago for Rörstrand. I guess "Today I'm a bird"  the text printed inside of the cup reminds me, everyday that I'm free to be and do whatever I want! As long as it feels meaningful and coming from my heart… So thank you Lovisa Burfitt for my daily inspiration.
Yesterday a six new illustrations by Lovisa Burfitt for RUM21 have been released. Lovisa Burfitt always design limited editions so be aware that if you wait to long your favourite can be gone. They are all gorgeous and the two who catch my eye first were "Dark side of the moon poster" and "Nice 2013 poster". Am I still on time to ask one to dear Santa?

Christmas Wanderlust

December has arrived and with it, the most of us are making their houses Christmas ready. Well...I won't. At least not at our place here in Japan because we will be spending Christmas with some of our family and friends In Germany and in Holland. I'm allowed to decorate at my in-laws, so I am happy!!! Not quiet sure what it's gonna be, but with my ecdemomania and wanderlust wouldn't some of these beautiful ornaments be just perfect?
They look gorgeous! And while decorating the tree you can already make travel plans for next year!

Time to build and paint your own world

The holidays season is just around the corner! And isn't this globe just a beautiful Christmas gift?  

I love to travel and if you also love it as much as I do, there's no way you won't love the Paper Globe. 

The globe is a neat and beautiful interior item. Not only you can color and draw all the places you've visited, you can also use it as a geography tool. Another plus is that you can easily grab it and dream about your next destination. I definitely do that!!!

The globe has been designed for Geografia by the Japanese duo from the Drill Design studio. 

Beside the basic sectional globe, you can find other globes with different shapes, sizes and materials. I must say, less is more and I love this one the most! 

Here you can see where in your neighbourhood you can buy one or if you prefer you can make it yourself. The French graphic designer Joachim Robert just designed a template and shows here how you can make it! Enjoy and have a great weekend! 

 

You don't need to use glue or scissors!

Kple Kple

On the In and around Nagoya from this week I will take you to another shop in Osu Kannon.

The funny thing about almost all Japanese shops is that you will find a mix of different kind of goods. Stationery is definitely really important in Japan and almost in every shop you will find notebooks, different kind of papers, pens, washitape, stamps and so on...

Kple Kple isn't much different. Here I found some really nice notebooks and stamps. Aside from that you can find beautiful Japanese clothes, shoes, bags and different kinds of accessories. Let you inspire and if you happen to be in the neighbourhood don't hesitate to take a look inside.

ICI Epicerie fine/ néo-cantine

In the corner between the Darwin- en Franz Merjay street in Brussels, you can find ICI Epicerie fine/ néo-cantine. A beautiful place to have lunch and to meet friends. You can see the menu on the wall and they will slightly changed it according the seasonal ingredients. Everything looks just yummie and their detox juices are not only tasty but also healthy!!! So if you happened to be in the neighbourhood  you should definitely give it a try! Hope you enjoy!

Uncle Deco

Today i decided to start with a new weekly post called In and around Nagoya. The city I live in Japan. Maybe you know that I moved here in August 2012 together with my husband due to his job. Its   just for a few years so I've been trying to enjoy as much as I can. Has been a nice experience and I realised that I haven't shared much of it. Maybe because I spent my first year more abroad than in Japan, so the time is now.

Uncle Deco is a beautiful antique and vintage shop situated in Osu Kannon in central Nagoya. Osu Kannon is well known because of the shinto temple and his big Shopping Arcade. You will definitely hear more about it because few of my favourite shops are situated here.
Uncle deco is a paradise of vintage, most of them American goods. Here you will also find clothes, stationery, stamps, boxes, baskets, lamps, toys and much more... A vintage paradise and an eye candy!
And if you like (vintage) stamps as much as I do, you will feel like a little kid on a sweets shop here.
