Giant bubbles. So relaxing.
Sylvain and his team (based in France) get to create these beautiful bubbles everyday for their work called Ebullitions. Bravo!

Made of drinking straws. By Kyle Bean.
Check out artist Chan Hwee Chong for Faber Castell pens! Just know that his pen never leaves the paper, so the drawing is one continuous spiral. So impressive.
The Cool Hunter has a great little feature on “Getting Back to Nature” that showcases some really beautiful autumn imagery but also touches on the latest movement that has cities around the world transforming under-used urban spaces into “green” escapes. (One great example is The High Line project in NYC.) I’m excited to see more and hope Seattle has some similar projects in store.
I wish I knew where each of these images were taken; they’re all breathtaking and remind me why this is my favorite time of year. Visit the article to see even more.

Neat!
Art and time are displayed in (and with) this water fountain in the Osaka train station. It’s described as a “printer [that] emits illuminated water droplets in carefully controlled patterns to reproduce images that are stored on a PC.”
I am so psyched about this! I adore Instagr.am, and to be honest I often go back through my feed to see past pics. Lately I have been longing to have printed versions to place in stacks around my apartment; instant happiness, no? So much better than sifting through my phone. Just as I was trying to figure out the best (and easiest) way to get this project going I happened to come across Printstagr.am and soon fell in love with all of the sweet options they had available, just check out the Tiny book!
Tiny book – $10 for 3, Mini book – $12 for 2, Poster – $25, Mini prints – $12 for 48

It’s going to be a gorgeous weekend here in Seattle, so I’m planning to live up before I head into the restaurant in the evenings. My dream would be snack and sip cocktails on this outdoor dining patio (a full city block in NYC!), but I suppose I’ll find the next best thing somewhere around here. (I’m really excited for the sun.)
Hope you all have some killer weekend plans ahead of you!

The Museum of Glass
Did you know Shanghai is in the midst of a campaign to launch 100 museums in a decade? The Museum of Glass is the latest opening and it’s shiny-new and gorgeous. The whole concept is genius; the use of the black lacquered glass for the interior is such a creative take, rather than featuring the clear glass house most naturally envision. Read more about the project here.

I’m alive! Settling into Seattle and the new venture; it was a bit tough in the beginning, but I am absolutely in love with the restaurant business! I feel so at ease, even amidst the stresses of just starting out. We’re a week into our soft opening and I couldn’t be more pleased with everything. Keeping busy has helped with the transition, but still sometimes I feel lonely for my ‘past life’ in SF. I think getting my routine set here will help me feel more at home, so it will just take a little more time. More than anything though, I’m excited and happy.
I’ve found a cute little apartment and I’ll be getting ready to move the rest of my things up from SF in the next week. I’ve been looking for home decorating ideas and came across this awesome find from Etsy seller WilliamDohman. Brother immediately snapped one up after I showed him, but I still think I can find a place for this myself. Cheeky and fun! (Made from recycled wood too.)
