why I think it's booty

TOKYO CRAFT FINDS

I'm back in Melbourne. Sigh. Luckily Ramona has unearthed the Nathan J show at Outre to ease me back into things. I know there was talk of a sadly underwhelming group of craft finds while I was away. But really, do airlines ever actually weigh your hand luggage? I work on the premise that if I can make the carrying of the bag look effortless it doesn't really matter that I'm hauling 15kg. And they have trolleys at airports these days don't they?
So while I sit nursing a Quasimodo like spinal curvature, I take solace in the knowledge that I also have a handy collection of craft books, strangely named chocolate (Black Horn for Men anyone?), Tabbi toe socks, fat squares, moomin cookie cutters, matcha bowls, truly old skool sake cups, a Muji filled wardrobe, my very first kokeshi doll, and a brand spanking appointment with the osteopath.

Thanks P, its good to be home. Although I am strangely missing the high pitched warblings of asian pop accompanying my every move.

i'm sure we could find some jap-pop at one of those places on Bourke St, strap a boom box to your back and you'd be set! (mmm-maybe not- but it would be fun to try- virtual holidaying by sound)
