Alphabet Cards

Posted on by Hijiri

I am getting some inspirations from alphabet cards for my projects I’m working on and so I started looking around what’s out there and here are some images I can definitely take something out of.

These are not exactly alphabet cards, but I love the colors and style.

These are great vintage cards. Simple, cute, and fun. (from nancy cook)

These are collage work – very cool. (from story of my life 2007)

These are very clean and elegant. (from lucky olive)

I love this one! Using photos for alphabet cards would be very cool. (from Coyote Crossing)

Commands Prints

Posted on by Hijiri

These prints from My Little Underground are so great – these are the commands I always use on my Macintosh! Very clever, I like the colors and the layout, too.

They have a lot more cool prints availabe at their shoppe.

I like these, too.

This one is beautiful.

Have a nice Tuesday, everyone!

From New Year’s Day

Posted on by Hijiri

We went to eat our first brunch of the year at Apple Wood in Park Slope. We have been there for dinner a few times and noticed and liked their logo, but never got to take pictures because it was dark out.

and here it is – I like the woodcut print looking apple. Very nice. Always catches my eye.

Another Beer Table sign that caught my eye:

For New Year’s Day dinner, Randy and I always eat Sushi or Japanese New Year food (if we could) and we went to Sakura Cafe in Park Slope this year to celebrate our bright new year and it was perfect!

and one of the beers Randy had called “Ginga Kogen Beer” (imported beer from Japan) was not only a very good beer, but also a great designed beer.

It was a bit too dark at the restaurant, but here’s a better photo – yes, it’s in blue bottle!

I thought it was really nice.

From New Year’s Day. Inspirations were everywhere.

Happy first Friday of the year and have a great first weekend of the year, everyone! I’ll be back with my letterpress studio visit on Monday!

Bloomsberry & Co. Think Chocolate

Posted on by Hijiri

Randy got me this chocolate from Bloomsberry & Co. and I love the packaging!

I like what it says on the box, too.

“Peace on earth. May this chocolate bring you peace (and quiet) these Holidays, if only for a moment.”

(it did, thank you.)

and how cute is this wrapping paper inside the box!

and after going to their website, I found out that they have all sorts of fun chocolates and their website is really fun to look around, too.

No Weight Gain Chocolate:

Some for me, some for you chocolate:

Eat me. chocolate:

and more on their website. I like how fun they are and each packaging is different and designed well. Chocolate always makes me happy so this is a double treat for me!
