another chance
My zine, twine and postage, is back in stock at MY MY DISTRO.
I've been a very busy kitten. Mail art, letterpress, and bookmaking, oh my! Photos and tales to come.
...
Towards the end of my trip to tokyo, I was reaching multiple melting points. The temperature was in the 90s (with humidity that matched) and I was a bit 'shopped out' (say it was not so!). I needed to do something to save myself from the unbearable crankiness that was taking over and turning...
I was in Daikanyama, which is a quiet and fancy shopping area, when it occured to me to do something utterly me. Such a surprise, remembering the things that one enjoys. I am a bit of a tea addict. Almost nothing (save post) thrills me like a bit of afternoon tea. A nosh and a warm something.... This area is lined with little french cafes and i found myself in one, intending just to buy tea. One look at all the darling pastries convinced me otherwise. This little confectionary present was filled with mago and passionfruit and i savoured every delicate bite. The end came to quickly, though i tried to postpone the final taste. It was just what i needed, on that day, when i though i would die on the sidewalk. Oh, how it competed with my irratability...the sugar/caffeine didn't hurt either
Also, a flea market in Harajuku
wonderful finds:
an old lock and key
a beautiful snuff bottle from the 20s/30s; clear and red with bits of gold. Oh it shined in the light (for a gift)
a creepy postcard of a geisha holding a doll
a family album filled with magic i cannot put into words
metal plates for letterpress (i forget the name at this uncivilized hour)
a pair of hair combs
my eyes full of wonder

There are moments when I am reading your stories and I realize that there is a sense of perfection in your adventures. It warms me, deeply, to know that these bits come out and bless you.
Love, Bare.
I am so envious. It sounds wonderful.
