<br />You guys! <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/7505266">This </a>is the cute Airbnb I stayed at in Amsterdam late last year. Do you die? I die! <br /><br />Click over <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/7505266">here to see more</a>. My <a href="http://hellosandwich.blogspot.jp/2016/01/lithuania.html">trip to Lithuania</a> came about all of a sudden so I had to book accommodation for my little side trip to Amsterdam at rather short notice. How on earth I got so lucky to find this gem, I have no idea. <br /><br />I've put my review down at the bottom of this post, but here are a few shots of the studio apartment. <br /><br />

M. G. Do you know what it was like going into a Western supermarket and stocking up on Western goodies. BLUE CHEESE guys!!! And DIPS!!! Dips, yo! And the best packaging! <br />

Making my lunch, with all of these incredible ingredients, gah, I could have stayed forever. The thought did cross my mind. <br />

<br />Nienke left this adorbs card and a stack of Stroopwafles. OMG, how did I not know about Stroopwafles already? <br /><br />

But as my friend Bjorn suggested, it was in fact, delicious. <br />

If you're coming to Amsterdam I INSIST you stay here.<br /><br />The studio is AMAZING! Ridiculously clean, beautifully sunny, impeccably styled and furnished, and stocked with the best essentials. The daylight that pours into this amazing top floor apartment will fill you with joy every day. It was hard to leave the apartment and explore Amsterdam. I just wanted to sit in the cute apartment, drink coffee, look out the window and listen to the cute retro radio. <br /><br />The entire apartment is recently renovated so in perfect condition, and the bathroom is just WOW. Enjoy taking a soak in the giant tub while looking out over the park. <br /><br />Upon arrival I was met by the sweetest Jordy who carried my gigantic suitcase up the stairs for me. We stood chatting for a while and he showed me all of the essentials such as how to operate a Dutch washing machine! He reminded me of my best friend and I felt instantly at home. Nienke and I emailed almost every day while I was there. Incredible communication! I would ask for an iron and it would instantly appear on my stairs! Or I would do a load of washing and Jordy would bring up a clothes drying rack for me. They were both so friendly that we ended up meeting for glasses of wine and Nienke even invited me down for drinks with her friends. For me it was perfect. So homey! <br /><br />I fell in love with all of the cute plates and cups that Nienke had stocked the cupboards with and spent half of my morning instagramming shots from the apartment. As I was leaving Nienke offered to give me some of the plates! She is just the sweetest ever. Upon arrival there was a stash of Stroopwaffles for me. OMG. They were gone in a flash. And a beautiful handwritten vintage postcard. When it was time to say goodbye to Nienke I think we must have hugged about eight times. Haha. <br /><br />It's super easy to get to the center of town from here either by walking, tram or rental bike. But, trust me, this place is so cute you won't want to leave. The perfect place to stay in Amsterdam and I will definitely be back.<br /><br /></i>Love Love<br />Hello Sandwich<br />xoxoHello Sandwichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14578341585982025124noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585997484645488401.post-25547838127172247362016-01-03T23:21:00.001+11:002016-01-04T10:19:23.091+11:00Lithuania<img alt=" photo Screen Shot 2015-12-05 at 1.01.24 AMlow_zpsvx8vvrig.png" border="0" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss1/HelloSandwich/HelloSandwich084/Screen%20Shot%202015-12-05%20at%201.01.24%20AMlow_zpsvx8vvrig.png" /><br />

Sandwiches!!!<br />
<br />
Hello Sandwiches!<br />
<br />
Happy New Year! 2016! It's our year! <br />
<br />
Are you having a nice break? I can not tell you how nice it is to be able to sit down and listen to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNjgLQS-Hcg">this </a>as I post some pictures from late 2015. <br />
<br />
It all happened ridiculously fast, but at the start of October 2015, I was flown to Lithuania by <a href="http://www.nowjapan.lt/en">Now Japan</a> to give two presentations about life in Japan. Those of you who follow my instagram would know about this already, but being 1/2 Lithuanian and 1/2 Australian, I was invited to fly to Vilnius for an all-expenses-paid trip to the motherland.<br />
<br />
After my father passed away in 2013 I don't have any family connections with Lithuania anymore. In fact, my last trip there was in 1998 with my Dad. So, as you can imagine, this trip was important and emotional. I was incredibly lucky to be selected to take part in this conference. Revisiting Lithuania with this group was honestly the best possible way to revisit! <br />
<br />
The Now Japan festival had a team of 70 volunteers who helped us 'guests' with anything. From picking me up at the hotel, driving me around, showing me local cafes, and on my last day in Vilnius they even drove me to the countryside so I could take photos of cute little colourful huts! I can not possibly tell you just how amazing it was to revisit the motherland with the help of these wonderful volunteers. I made friends with the cutest girl, Dovile, who is a few years younger than me, and as we walked the pebbly roads of old Vilnius, she told me stories of how she recalls her life when Lithuania became independent. It could have just as easily been my life, I thought.<br />
<br />
I have so many photos to show you, but to start with, let me show you just a few.<br />

Guys, do you die for these cuties? On my first morning in Lithiania I was whisked over for a TV interview at <a href="http://www.bodytalk.lt/">Body Talk</a> studio. <a href="http://www.bodytalk.lt/en/page/apie-body-talk">These girls </a>had the cutest studio and were ridiculously sweet and creative. Can you imagine being flown from Tokyo and within hours of landing in Lithuania, being taken to the coolest place in town? I felt soooooooo incredibly lucky! I was pinching myself in the bathroom as I retouched my MAC Lady Danger lipstick ready for the film crew. How did I end up here? Life can be weird and wonderful.<br />

<br />
We sat riverside and I ate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_cuisine">zeppelini</a>, which I hadn't eaten since Mr Y and I ordered it at the Lithianian Club in Bankstown, Australia. Ahhhhhh, so amazing. <br />

THIS is the grand stage that I presented at during the conference!<br />

<br />
As soon as I got a break from the interviews and presentations I snuck out to take photos. This is one of my favourite shots taken from the tower down the road from my hotel. Such incredible colours. <br />
<br />

It's hard to take a bad shot in Lithuania. <br />

<br />
I have so many other shots I want to show you from the Lithuania trip, and then I popped over to Amsterdam and have so much to tell you about that trip, too! <br />
<br />
Stay tuned, Sandwiches, and a very happy 2016 to you! <br />

<br />
Those amazingly cool kids Ant and Stanley from <a href="http://www.thelittledromstore.com/">The Little Drom Store</a> were soooooo spot on with the things I would be interested in seeing in Singapore. One day they took me to explore <a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/people-behind-the-old-charm-at-dakota-crescent">Dakota Crescent</a>, one of Singapore's oldest housing estates. For me this was photo paradise! Potted plants, pastel doors, clusters of washing, faded play equipment, patterned tiles, and hazy light. As soon as Stanley parked the car I think I was like 'Okay guys, I'll meet you back here in three hours'. That Aussie humour...just can't get rid of it. Unfortunately this beautiful little retro community is due to be pulled down and residents have until the end of 2016 to move out. <br />

The top of this stone table has a chess board carved out for local residents to enjoy. The faded paint with the pastel pink is just perfection for me.<br />

We walked around, popping up the residential stairways and Ant and Stanley even chatted through the windows with some local residents. MAN I wanted to take photos of that. But luckily you can see what the inside of some of these fantastic apartments look like <a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/people-behind-the-old-charm-at-dakota-crescent">over here</a>. <br />
<br />
Miss you, Singapore! And miss you Ant and Stanley! xoxo <br />
<br />
And - love you, Tokyo. It's a grey and rainy day over here in Shimokitazawa. I'm listening to Grimes' new album and relaxing looking out over this gorgeous almost-winter weather. OMG and <a href="http://japanesesong.boy.jp/">Koichi</a> got us tickets to <a href="http://smash-jpn.com/live/?id=2392">Grimes' live in Tokyo</a>! Yassssss! ありがとうこいちさん!Man, and look at this amazing tour schedule. I want a dream schedule like this! Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Utrecht...The dream! And she's also going to Sydney and Melbourne for any Aussie readers out there. <br />
<br />
By the way, I'm off to <a href="http://hellosandwich.blogspot.jp/2014/08/shiogama.html">Shiogama</a> next week for a workshop with <a href="http://www.birdoflugas.com/">Birdo Flugas</a>, and then back to <a href="http://hellosandwich.blogspot.jp/2014/09/ishinomaki.html">Ishinomaki</a> to visit <a href="http://www.hiromasuda.com/">Hiro-san</a> again! <br />

<br />
This is my first ever #HelloHawker lunch using my new melamine from Singapore. <br />
<br />
Sure, the lemon wedge probably didn't need it's own bowl, but I couldn't resist adding that coral colour to the setting. <br /><br />In this amazing Tokyo autumn light was - Miso with wakame and toumyou. Egg with dill to remind me of my trip to Lithuania. Organic vegetables from the farmers markets. Tuna so I could run 6kms this afternoon. And lemon so I could use the coral bowl hah. <br /><br />Hope you had a nice day, Sandwiches! It's so nice to be back to blogging again! <br />

There was so much to see, with such little time, and on one occasion Stanley even pulled out the car before I had closed my door. Ha ha. It was literally the ideal tour for me. GET THE PHOTO! LET'S GO! NEXT! <br />

It's F I N A L L Y getting cold in Tokyo. I made nabe tonight, and am wearing heat tech, and my feet are cold and I can smell winter. It's brilliant. <br /><br />I'm just back from Singapore where I hosted a series of workshops and had a pop-up at <a href="http://www.thelittledromstore.com/">The Little Drom Store</a>. Gosh it's been incredible travelling around lately. Lithuania, Amsterdam and Singapore. I have a giant backlog of images to show you, but for now, here are some pics from the hawker food center.<br /><br />OMG this place, and all it's amazing colour and delicious foo.! I can't even! <br />
<br />

<br /><br />Antoinette and Stanley from The Little Drom store took me to their favourite fresh fruit juice stall. I'd caught a cold in Singapore, and Antoinette recommended a Singapore remedy of, I think it was starfruit and salt. It was super delicious and I'm sure it helped me recover. Stanley had mentioned that he really loved the retro signage at the hawker food center, and we had long conversations about the fonts, printing types, and acrylic signs. The perfect conversation. <br /><br />

<br />Even the stacks of dirty plates made it onto my Fujifilm X100T.<br /><br />

And check out the bags - purple and red. Teamed with the little fluoro green ties - I can't even. <br />
<br />
<img alt=" photo IMG_7884_zpshadnmjjh.jpg" border="0" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss1/HelloSandwich/HelloSandwich073/IMG_7884_zpshadnmjjh.jpg" /><br />
<br />Pink drink in a bag. With a yellow straw! STOP!!! <br /><br />"Let's shoot it again, without the line and with both hands" <br /><br />

Swoon! <br /><br />"It looks cute with the tiles too, don't you think?"<br />
<br />

<br />Okay so people who bring their own coloured melamine to the hawker food center (which is already filled with coloured melamine) ARE THE BEST! <br /><br />
<img alt=" photo IMG_7902_zpsfrmsux7a.jpg" border="0" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss1/HelloSandwich/HelloSandwich073/IMG_7902_zpsfrmsux7a.jpg" /><br />
<br />We did a shoot for <a href="http://welcome.polkaros.com/">Polkaros</a>' new 'Singapore Dessert' collection. Antoinette sa<span class="text_exposed_show">id
it felt like she was making me work, but for me it was heaven. I LOVE a
good shoot. Ant and Stanley brought along their own props and we stood
on chairs taking overhead shots in the middle of the hawker food center.
We even made good use of a mint tray as a reflector board. Lol. You can
take the girl outta Vogue Living...</span><br /><br />

On thwe way back to Tokyo my suitcase was full with 'Hello Hawker' items.

<br />
You guys!!!<br />
<br />
I LIVE for Fujifilm so you can just imagine when I received an email from <a href="http://www.fujifilm.com.au/">Fujifilm press</a> (and two orders for my Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide from them!!!) wanting to make contact with me and send over some goodies to play with! I MEAN....! I practically s c r e a m e d at my iMac!<br />
<br />
The amazing girls at <a href="http://www.fujifilm.com.au/">Fujifilm head office in Australia</a> heard about my upcoming trip to Lithuania and Amsterdam and wanted me to have this <a href="http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x100t/">X100T </a>in time for the trip! Not only is it such a beautiful, beautiful camera, but it has wireless transfer which will be so invaluable for travelling so I can <a href="https://instagram.com/fujicamerasaus/">instagram pics</a> live on location without having to go back to my laptop in the hotel. I can't wait to share some pics with you from the trip!<br />
<br />
Love you Fujifilm! (and you brilliant girls in Sydney who made this all happen!) <br />
<br />
P.S. For anyone who has the Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide - you can see the Fujifilm shop in the Harajuku section! <br />
<br />

<br />
I definitely didn't think Hello Tokyo would make it over to <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/jp/book/hello-tokyo/id995894802?mt=11">iTunes</a>! It's all so surreal for me! <br /><br />
If you can't wait for the hard copy to go on sale in your country, head on over <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/jp/book/hello-tokyo/id995894802?mt=11">here</a> for the digital version.<br />
<br />Also! Gosh, it's a nice day in Tokyo today. Summer has settled down so I can come out of air-con lock down and open all of the windows. This apartment is on the corner and has more windows than walls so the breeze is one of my most favourite parts of living here. Tonight I'm off to see my amazing friend <a href="http://www.graceleeillustrator.com/">Grace's</a> work in a special show for <a href="http://www.ropepicnic.com/">Rope Picnic</a>! This girl is crazy talented! <br />

<i><br /></i>
<i>Wouldn’t it be ideal if you could simply print everything you want?
Of course there’s a massive trend in 3D printing, where revolutionary
developments are bringing us closer and closer to this scenario.
Sometimes though, progress lies not in technological development, but
rather in approaching things from a completely different angle. Why
print in three dimensions when you can also reduce reality to two? This
whole room is a conceptual translation of that fine line between
reality, and the aspects of modern, often digital life. The TV, the
chair, even the façade: everything is scanned, printed and presented to
you in 2D.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Naturally, things as the bed, fresh sheets and towels, the safe, and
your breakfast will be provided in a more practical 3D format.</i><br />

<br />
Just the other day I got invited to the Kate Spade show at New York Fashion Week!
Whaaaaaaat? <br />
<br />
I wish I was in NY to be able to go, but it baffles me that
they would even invite me! <br />
<br />
I really thought my cool invitation days were gone the moment I stepped out of the Vogue offices. <br />
<br />
I DIE!<br />
<br />
<br />
(And please ignore my totes dodge retouching of the RSVP details ha ha)<br /><br />UPDATE - because I couldn't make it to this show they've invited me to an event in November and to the fashion show in February! I DIE!!!<br />

SANDWICHES!!! OMG! <a href="http://www.thelittledromstore.com/">The Little Drom Store</a> are flying my assistant and I over to Singapore in October to host workshops, have a little pop up shop, and meet all of you lovely little Singapore Sandwiches and I CAN NOT WAIT! It's the first business trip my assistant and I have been on together and we are pretty excited. <br />
<br />
When I sent out all of my Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide zines, most went to Melbourne, and then the second biggest selling country was Singapore! You guysssssssss T H A N K Y O U ! So this makes me even more excited to come and meet you all. <br />
<br />
So, back to the workshops! 50% of the workshops sold out overnight which I couldn't believe! And although the HELLO SCRAPBOOK workshop has completely sold out, there are still a few spots left in both of the <a href="http://shop.thelittledromstore.com/product/hello-sandwich-party-style-workshop">HELLO PARTY</a> workshops. These workshops are, ahem, ways to make your party more instagrammable ha ha, and we will make party garlands, photo backdrops and customise straws and paper cups to get you all set for your next celebration. Click over <a href="http://shop.thelittledromstore.com/product/hello-sandwich-party-style-workshop">here</a> to book your spot. <br />

<br />
<br />
On my 'Hello Tokyo' book shoot my photographer Boco-chan would sneak in extra cute shots like this one while I was off prepping the next shot! Love this lady to bits. Also love this 'fancy straw box'. I'm going to pack this in my suitcase and take it to Singapore. If customs open my bag they are going to think I'm nuts. <br />
<br />
Mama-sando always thinks I'm nuts when I go back to Sydney and my suitcase is filled with 80% craft stuff and 20% clothes. WAIT - no 78% craft stuff, 20% clothes, and 2% presents for Mama-sando's little Schnoodle, Schnaupi. <br />

Mami-chan took this super cute photo of my book! She is the styling master and she will also launch her new online shop tonight at 21:00 Tokyo time, so head on over to her <a href="http://www.fragola-tokyo.com/">website</a>. <br />

<br />
The Little Drom Store were smart and bought a stack of the Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide zines off me before they sold out so we will be selling them at the event, and also my new book 'Hello Tokyo'! <br />
<br />
<i>(Thank you all for your emails and interest in a re-print of the Tokyo Guide, or a PDF version, but unfortunately I won't be doing either. So sorry if you missed out. You can still get some at a few stockists mentioned in the post below, and also at my booth at the Tokyo Art Book Fair on Monday 21st September) </i>Hello Sandwichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14578341585982025124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585997484645488401.post-37153920323420505552015-09-07T00:15:00.001+10:002015-09-07T00:19:14.024+10:00Early September Weekend in Tokyo <img alt=" photo IMG_2932_zps7zq4g4z9.jpg" border="0" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss1/HelloSandwich/HelloSandwich062/IMG_2932_zps7zq4g4z9.jpg" /><br />

Sandwiches!<br />
<br />
Helloooooo!<br />
<br />
OMG! See that beer above? It's a sign that this humid Tokyo Summer is on the way out. FINALLY! MAN I hate Tokyo in Summer. I wish I could escape to another country every year in July until the end of August. <br />
<br />
I drank this 'tall boy' beer on Saturday arvo (I'm getting back into Aussie slang, yo!) to celebrate selling out of my Hello Sandwich Tokyo Guide zines! Thank you so much to everyone who bought a copy. You guys are the best! Mistakes and all, I hope this little one-man-show handmade zine leads you to some places that make your next trip to Tokyo even better. Thank you also to the lovelies who have emailed about a re-print, but as with all of my zines, I print a limited amount and once they sell out, that's it. Things are always changing in this incredible city so it's hard to keep a hard copy updated and current. Maybe I'll make another one next year. But, in the time being, I will be selling a few last allocated copies at the Tokyo Art Book Fair on Monday 21st October. Please come along and pick one up if you'd like one. <br />
<br />
There are also a few stockists in Australia who still might have a copy such as <a href="http://metropolisbookshop.com.au/">Metropolis Books</a> and <a href="http://hellosandwich.blogspot.jp/2011/04/perimeter-books.html">Perimeter Books</a> in Melbourne. Kinokuniya in Sydney will also be stocking it soon, too.<br />

<br />
Um...ha ha...have you ever seen me in real life with my hair out? There are only about a handful of people on this planet who have seen me without a top knot in the last 6 years! Ha ha. I'm going to wear that bun, too much blush and strong MAC lipstick every day right till the very end. I always wear either MAC's Lady Danger, Ruby Woo or, on occasion, Morange or a limited edition crazy pink or coral. <br />

<br />
Do you remember this cutie Nina from NZ who I met at one of my workshops in Tokyo? Love this lady to bits! She sent me this cute pic of her reading my new book 'Hello Tokyo' which is in stores in Australia and NZ now, and in the coming months will be available in bookstores worldwide. <br />

Nina also sent me this snap of my book in Unity Books in Auckland. ありがとうNina!!!<br />

<br />
And here is a big stack of my books in Sydney's Dymocks. I wish I could be there to see my books in store in person, but these photos from friends are making it a lot easier. If anyone spots the book in a shop and can be bothered taking a photo to send me I would love you forever and ever! And, ahem, extra points for "styling" 'Hello Tokyo' on top of all of the other books and taking a photo! ha ha. My email is hellosandwichblog (at) gmail (dot) com. Or if you use the hashtag #HelloTokyoBook I'd love to see it! <br />

<br />
I'm embarrassingly late to the party but I went vinyl shopping in Shibuya with my friend Matt for the first time yesterday. I'm totally addicted. He taught me the cool ways to flick through records and we had so much fun in there. Not enough time though before we had to head off to our friends birthday party on this (below) Shinjuku rooftop beer garden. After months of feeling so ridiculously sweaty in this humidity the end of Summer is so energising. We bought 'roadies' (Go, more Aussie slang), and drank them on the Yamanote-sen to Shinjuku style. I'm not often on the Yamanote-sen, or any other JR lines for that matter, so hanging out with our beers, listening to the Yamanote-sen jingles, I couldn't stop smiling. Those jingles are so nostalgic and remind me of when I used to come to Tokyo with Mr Y before we moved back here. <br />

<br />
<br />
This poor fella might have have really taken advantage of the popular all-you-can-drink 飲み放題 system in Japan. <br />
<br />
Matt offered to send him to the station, or put him in a taxi but he politely refused. There was talk of getting the police to help him to safety and off the road, but our Japanese friend Shige said "It's Tokyo, it's normal, just leave him".<br />

Mikoshi weekend at my local park.<br />

<br />
Each year the mikoshi stops outside my apartment and they break for a
drink from the truck that waits literally directly below my apt. Dreamy
Tokyo life.<br />

<br />
You guys!<br />
<br />
I really want to use #blessed but I'll save you from that. But seriously, sometimes I have no idea how I have such supportive people in my life. Yesterday, the day my new book '<a href="http://hellosandwich.blogspot.jp/2015/08/hello-tokyo-on-sale-today.html">Hello Tokyo</a>' launched, I received an email from the Managing Editor of Inside Out magazine with the subject line 'Happy 'Hello Tokyo' Release Day!!'. I can't even manage to remember my own deadlines, so it baffles me that such an overachiever like Lee Tran Lam who does more in one day than even a super human can, is able to remember my book release date.<br />
<br />
On top of that, and surely it's not in her job description to be making PDF files to send to people who are in the pages of their beautiful magazine, but attached to her email was a PDF of the cover and the 'Hello Tokyo' story. Like - seriously! How does she do it all? <br />
<br />
By the way, <a href="http://www.leetranlam.com/">Lee Tran Lam</a> not only is Managing Director of Inside Out magazine, but does <a href="http://fbiradio.com/programs/local-fidelity/">this radio show</a>, makes these <a href="http://theunbearablelightnessofbeinghungry.com/category/zines-2/">amazing zines</a>, writes <a href="http://theunbearablelightnessofbeinghungry.com/">this popular food blog</a>, produces <a href="http://theunbearablelightnessofbeinghungry.com/category/podcast/">this podcast</a>, and is probably developing a cure for diseases in her free time. <br />
<br />
OMG - Live update! Just as I was looking for the above links I clicked over to <a href="http://www.leetranlam.com/">LTL's page</a> and found that she had mentioned 'Hello Tokyo' on her page and instantly started crying! This lady is sooooo sweet! I (thought I) had resumed control over my emotions and phoned her to thank her, but of course as soon as I heard her happy voice I started crying again! ha ha! Professionalism points to Sandwich - ZERO!<br />
<br />
Anyway, please go and pick up a copy of <a href="http://www.insideout.com.au/">this amazing mag</a>. And also <a href="http://www.yenmag.net/">Yen</a> and <a href="http://www.frankie.com.au/">Frankie</a> who have also been so kind as to write about 'Hello Tokyo' in their new issues. Thank you so much Lee Tran, Sophie and Annie! xoxo <br />
<br />
I feel so lucky to have moved away from Australia, but still have the support of such brilliant people. <br />
<br />
Love Love<br />

<br />
You guys!!!<br />
<br />
Today is the day!<br />
<br />
My very first English language book is <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1743365098/ref=sr_1_1/277-1449779-5263362?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1433207997&sr=1-1">on sale today</a>! 'Hello Tokyo' is out with Murdoch Books Australia who (in conjunction with my literary agents <a href="http://curtisbrown.com.au/blog/clients/bizys-ebony/">Curtis Brown</a>) were so incredibly wonderful to work with. They really let me put my own voice to all aspects of this book, allowing me to direct everything from the pagination, design, styling, projects, chapter breakdowns, and even selecting the right paper stock and gold foil for the cover. The book is like a hard copy of this blog, with stories about living in Tokyo, projects to create a cute Tokyo-inspired lifestyle, and pages on collaborations and past projects I've worked on.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to share some sneak peeks of the book, and behind the scenes of the book with you. <br />

And, OMG if you see 'Hello Tokyo' in any bookshops, PLEASE shuffle it to
the front of any stacks! Ha ha! Is that too naughty? I secretly do it
for my friends books when I see them in Tokyo bookstores. And, ha ha,
okay, I just <i>might</i> have done it a few times with <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hello-Sandwich-Craft-Idea-Book/dp/4861007984/ref=pd_sim_sbs_14_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0TH6BVG3VRB2G1V02GSH">my Japanese book</a>!<br />
<br />
Because
I'm not in Tokyo, if you happen to be able to take a snap in any
bookstores and either email me the shots to: hellosandwichblog (at)
gmail (dot) com or use the hashtag #HelloTokyoBook I would LOVE to see
it! <br />

prayed to my Japanese grandpa who passed away a month ago, almost to the
exact week that my father passed away two years ago. <br /><br />Memories of Jiji-chan grating daikon in his regular
seat at the dining table are so vivid. If I close my eyes I can see him
walking slowly with the aid of his walking sticks around the park next to my
apartment. He was always dressed in a beautiful shirt, a hat, and more often than
not, suspenders. <br /><br />With tears in her eyes, his granddaughter, Satomi-chan told me how he loved three things in
life; food, sleeping and Baba-chan. <br />
<div>
<br />Baba-chan told me how
Jiji-chan would often say 'we should invite Ebony over for dinner'
before looking up at my apartment through his bathroom window and then
say 'oh, the lights are off so she must be out'. Jiji-chan was like the
grandpa I never had. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although I promised
myself I wouldn't, I cried. We all cried. We offered Jiji-chan wine,
beer and Nihon-shu. We looked through photo albums of when Jiji-chan was
a teenager. We smelt his fragrance. We held our drinks up and said
'kanpai' to him before he makes his journey to his hometown Aizu. <br /></div>
Meeting Jiji-chan was a miracle in my life. <br /><br />Jiji-chan,
the amazing name you were given by the monk upon departing this earth
is a testament to the wonderful things you did in this life. You'll
never be forgotten Jiji-chan. <br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />Hello Sandwichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14578341585982025124noreply@blogger.com7
