tokyo little garden

japanese people like to beautify small spaces.

it's a hard life for some.

giant heart

wandering around harajuku, we stumbled across an art exhibition at the Harajuku Atopia Disability Centre. The halls were full of artworks, made by kids with intellectual disabilities and were completely amazing. There was weaving, indigo dying, drawings and patchworks. This was one of the highlights of my trip.


I couldn't find any more information about the exhibition online, however i came across the able art company.

the kris kringle night market is ace this year

my heart skipped a beat when i saw these fabric flying ducks by Dany Germain of one black sheep.

i got most of my shopping done in one hit and had so much fun doing it. i picked up some really adorable things and can't wait to hand them over. if you haven't made it down yet, there's still 2 more markets to go.

close encounters

the snake hunter in our neighbour's yard with the tiger snake.

i was alarmed to discover a tiger snake living under my bag of potting mix. i do like to make friends with spiders and lizards but poisonous snakes are way out of my comfort zone. we rang the council and minutes later a "snake hunter" arrived. after a rather thrilling trans-backyard chase he finally caught it and took it away- not before making quite a mess though. no more bare feet gardening from now on.
