アイスコーヒー

I always love taking photos, but lately I've been even more inspired to go snap happy with the Instagram iphone app. I can't believe it's taken me this long to download it. It's so lovely to share and view photos with my lovely twitter friends. Come along and follow Hello Sandwich Instagram and let's enjoy taking photos together!




A cute little badge for Tohoku.



On another note, is there anything mt tape can't do?! I was inspired by this to paint my nails with diagonal patterns and what better way to mask the line than mt tape.


Happy Golden Week lovelies.

Yoshitomo Nara Sake

Wa~! I found Yoshitomo Nara sake in Shimokitazawa today! The glass bottle turns into a cute little Yoshitomo Nara drinking glass once finished. Adorable no?



Actually, I bought this sake bottle this week too. To be honest, I don't love sake but I desperately needed this pretty bottle for my mini-me vase collection.



In other drink inspired news...Polka dots and multi-coloured type? You got me there.





My lovely friend Elo, after hearing that some of my favourite glasses smashed in the recent quakes, picked up these glasses for me from a local retro homewares shop. They were wrapped in Japanese newspaper and left at my apartment door over the weekend. I just love the pattern - multi-coloured polka dots and triangles. Thanks Elo!

I've also since done some DIY quake-proofing on my glass cupboard with some push pins and gross grain.
